Almighty Game Designer 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."

There are only two sentences in the text.

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

At first glance, many players think that this translation is quite appropriate. Doesn’t this English mean the end of the United States?

But soon there will be players who are good in English, and the English name should be literally translated as "the last one among us". The Chinese and English titles are really not the same.

Many players understand that, no wonder Chen Mo specifically stated that this is not a mistranslation. If not, someone must laugh at Chen Mo's English level...

If you strictly translate "The Last of America", it should be "". In short, US should be changed to USA,. If you use US, it should mean "us".

However, since Chen Mo has said that this is not a mistranslation, that is to say, the Chinese name and the English name do not originally mean the same thing. The two names are not translated, but taken separately.

A lot of players are wondering, why do you want to do this?

But when I think about it again, I think these two names are quite interesting.

If you use a translation, whether it is translated from Chinese to English or English, it seems to lose its original meaning. If it is called "" or "The Last Survivor", it is not bad, but it is hard to remember. Not loud.

So, the Chinese name is "The Last Days of America" ​​and the English name is "", which seems to be really appropriate!

Actually, the final interpretation right of the name lies with the creator, who cares what it is called. Just like Jia Pingwa, a well-known writer, the word "a" was originally not pronounced, but only in his name, the word was pronounced "a".

Not only will it not appear that you are uneducated to read this word, but people who insist that you should read "ao" will be regarded as uneducated...

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 Days of America". Naturally, no one will say that this Chinese name is mistranslated. On the contrary, there will be a very wonderful relationship between Chinese and English names. Contact, it seems that the translation is very accurate, and again it is a mistranslation, in fact, it is two names specially chosen by the author, and both names are very close and easy to remember.

……

Many players feel that Chen Mo's name is a bit domineering!

The Last Days of America...Is this going to destroy the world or something?

When people look at this name, they think it will be a disaster theme or a war theme, but the previous gossip has actually been spread, and this is mostly a zombie theme.

The United States after the zombie outbreak? Well, it sounds like that! In other words, is the gossip actually true?

Players clicked on the video one after another.

……

After the Thunder Game logo, there was a short black screen.

A female voice asked in a low voice: "What if this is true?"

The picture appeared. On the chaotic street, people were running frantically to flee for their lives. There was a raging fire on the side of the road, and the picture was trembling violently, as if you could feel the panic of the running people.

But the picture in just four or five seconds is completely silent, silent and depressing.

The screen was black again, a low-pitched male voice: "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 rusty cabinet. It was a human figure walking upright, but it was shaking constantly, making a palpitation roar.

"A long time ago, I had someone I care about."

The screen switches, a middle-aged man and a young girl walk in a lush forest, and then a close-up close-up of a little girl. The little girl who was supposed to be in school is loading the pistol very skillfully.

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

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

After this, there are many fragmented conversations.

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

"She will be a burden, Joel."

"I only need some simple equipment to get on the road."

"I guess it is related to that girl?"

"It must be related to that girl."

"No matter what, it can’t be worse than staying here, right?"

"We have been surviving all the time, Joel."

"No, we are trying to survive!"

"This is our opportunity!"

"Stop talking, Tess!"

"You are taking risks."

The corpse hanged in a tree.

A villain with a gun.

Abandoned mansion.

Joel and Ellie are hiding behind the wall, and the villain with a shotgun is searching for their location.

"What shall we do now?"

"Don't waste any bullet."

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

"We have gone through so much~ IndoMTL.com~ put in so much effort, it should always be meaningful, right?"

In Alice's last question, the screen went black and the video stopped abruptly.

……

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

Where and where are these? can not understand!

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

But just from this video, the players didn't get much useful information, nor did they see the highlights of the game.

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

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

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

This is indeed the last days after the zombie outbreak, and the protagonist should be this middle-aged uncle Joel. From what he said, he has endured a lot of struggles in order to survive in the last days. He once lost his beloved love, but now he has a relationship with a little girl.

Besides, no more specific information can be found.

Many players feel a little disappointed. Although this promotional video is pretty good, it is not as stunning as it was when "Uncharted" first 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 is a very common traditional zombie theme!
