Chapter 755 This Is Not a Mistranslation

The content of Chen Mo's Weibo is very simple.

"The new game "The Last of Us", the English translation is "". Note: This is not a mistranslation."

The text is just two sentences.

The players are so confused, why do they specifically indicate that this is not a mistranslation? ?

At first glance, many players think that this translation is quite appropriate. Isn't this English the meaning of the end of the United States?

But soon there will be players who are better in English. The literal translation of the English name should be "the last among us to survive". The Chinese and English titles really don't mean the same thing.

A lot of players understood this. No wonder Chen Mo specially noted that this was not a mistranslation. If he didn't indicate it, someone would have laughed at Chen Mo's English level...

If "The Last of Us" is strictly translated, it should be "". In short, US should be changed to USA, ., and if US is used, it should mean "we".

However, since Chen Mo has already said that this is not a mistranslation, it means that the Chinese name and the English name are not the same at all, and the two names are not translated, but taken separately.

Many players are pondering, why bother?

But thinking about it again, I think it's quite interesting to get these two names.

If you use translation, whether it is Chinese to English or English to Chinese, it seems that the original meaning will be lost. If it is called "" or "The Last Survivor", although it is not bad, it is difficult to remember and loud.

Therefore, the Chinese name is "The Last Day of America", and the English name is "", which seems to be really appropriate!

In fact, the final interpretation right of the name is still with the creator, and the creator calls it what it is. Just like a famous writer Jia Pingwa, the word "wa" originally did not have the pronunciation of "a", but only in his name, the word "a" was pronounced.

Not only will you not appear uneducated by reading this word, but those who insist that you should read "ao" will be seen as unliterate...

To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is up to the parties themselves.

Chen Mo is like this now. The official Chinese name is "The Last Day of America". Naturally, no one will say that the Chinese name is a mistranslation. Instead, he will feel that there is a very wonderful connection between Chinese and English names. It seems that the translation is very accurate. At first glance, it is a mistranslation. In fact, it is two names that the author deliberately chose, and the two names are also very appropriate and easy to remember.

...

Many players feel that the name of the game Chen Mo is a bit domineering!

"The Last of Us"... Is this going to destroy the world or what?

When many people saw the name, they thought it would be a disaster theme or a war theme, but the previous gossip has actually spread all over the place, and most of it is a zombie theme.

America after the zombie outbreak? Hmm, that sounds like that! In other words, the gossip is actually true?

Players clicked on the video one after another.

...

After the Thunder game logo, there is a brief black screen.

A female voice whispered, "What if this is true?"

The picture appeared. On the chaotic streets, people were running frantically to escape, the roadside was blazing with fire, and the picture was shaking violently, as if you could feel how flustered the running people were.

But this short four or five seconds of the picture is completely silent, silent and depressing.

The screen went black again, and a low male voice said, "Do you still need me to remind you that there is something outside?"

The sun shone into the dark room, and a deformed shadow appeared on the rusted cabinet, humanoid, walking upright, but also constantly shaking, making a heart-pounding roar.

"I had someone I cared about a long time ago."

The screen cuts, a middle-aged man and a young girl are walking in a lush forest, and then there is a close-up of a little girl. The little girl, who was supposed to be at school, was very skillfully loading a pistol.

I don't know when, the faint background sound gradually faded in, and the simple guitar sound seems to contain a faint sadness.

telling something.

"But now, that ghost thing has only one use, and that is to kill you."

After this, a lot of fragmented conversations.

"I need you to sneak something out of town."

"She'll be a liability, Joel."

"I just need some simple gear to hit the road."

"I guess it has something to do with that girl?"

"It must have something to do with that girl."

"It can't be worse than staying here, can it?"

"We've been living on our own, Joel."

"No, we are trying to survive!"

"This is our chance!"

"Stop talking, Tess!"

"You're taking a risk."

A dead body hanged from a tree.

Gangster with gun.

Abandoned mansion.

Joel and Ellie are hiding behind a wall, and thugs with shotguns are searching for their location.

"What do we do now?"

"Don't waste a single bullet."

Zombies, villains, poisonous gas, blood-stained knives, homemade bombs...

"We've been through so much and put in so much effort, it's got to make sense, right?"

During Ellie's last question, the screen went black and the video stopped abruptly.

...

After reading the promotional CG, many players are at a loss.

Where are these from? can not understand!

Obviously, the main method of this video is "demolition", that is, the complete plot of the game is divided into many segments, interspersed with character dialogues, so that players can get a few words about the plot without producing any spoilers.

But just from this video, players didn't get much useful information, and they didn't see where the highlights of the game were.

combat system? How to play? create character? There seems to be nothing special about it.

The only bright spot may be the plot, but the plot is not revealed at all.

There are also players who are trying hard to speculate on the plot of "The Last of Us", and even actually deduce something from this video.

This is indeed the end of the world after the zombie outbreak, and the protagonist should be this middle-aged uncle Joel. From what he said, we can know that he has endured a lot of struggles to survive in the apocalypse, and once lost his love, but now he is involved with a little girl.

Other than that, no specific information can be found.

Many players feel a little disappointed. Although this promotional video is also beautiful, it is not as stunning as when Uncharted came out.

You can't see too many eye-catching settings from the video. You know, Josh Wilson also added a lot of special weapons, special zombies and survival gameplay to his game. As a result, "The Last of Us" here, It's a very ordinary traditional zombie theme!
