Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds.
A strange, fascinating cloud appeared over the distant horizon. It was large at the top and small at the bottom, like an upward blooming mushroom. Dark red flames could still be seen rolling and tumbling at the top of the mushroom. - Shihua_Bai10mthReplied to Kujaku
Who told you that the trip is impossible to survive? It simply isn't that deadly.
In fact, this discussion was meaningless. Human beings worked hard only to send several astronauts to the moon, the closest celestial body to the Earth. This achievement was nothing when the alien invaders were able to travel hundreds of light years or even across the galaxies to the Earth. The energy they had consumed in their travel was enough to burn the Earth to ashes. How could human beings defeat such strong enemies? - Shihua_Bai10mthReplied to Lancron
In Chinese that used implied names rather than just straight KFC.
This park was not far from Roland's apartment. It was also a piece of fine green land that Roland discovered during his city exploration. There were not many people here and a business street was just nearby. Most importantly, there were KFC and McDonald's chain stores nearby. - Shihua_Bai10mthCommented
Wrong translation, it should be "It's now the months of demons, how can the dock be so busy as if in summertime?"
"It's the Months of Demons now. Even though it is summer, how is the dock so busy?" - Shihua_Bai10mthReplied to Winzentwinni
It means a tube, probably just referring to how long the apartment building is.
The owner looked at him in disbelief, saying, "you're not living here, right? Who in this Tongzi Street doesn't know Miss Garcia?" - Shihua_Bai10mthReplied to Dare2Fly
That's why it is even more appropriate, in China there is a saying: The emperor guards the country, the kings dead for people. The idea is to set the capital right next to the great wall where the barbarians may attack, which in this case, next to the devil base.
Roland looked at the cheering subjects and felt a great anticipation growing inside him. The sparks of revolution had been ignited, and one day, he would see these sparks turn into a giant flame that would engulf the entire land. - Shihua_Bai10mthReplied to Jamestec
They are resting their upper body on the table, not lying on top of it. This phrase is hard to translate.
"Friends?" She was surprised. "Could it be Anna?" As she thought of Anna, she excitedly ran up to the second floor and pushed open the door, only to find Mystery Moon, Hummingbird, and Lily idly lying on the table. On noticing her, the three of them immediately got up and surrounded her. - Shihua_Bai10mthCommented
Mistranslated again, it is a hunting rifle.
"Lord Pine went out early in the morning," Alda replied from the kitchen. "He was carrying his silver shotgun." - Shihua_Bai10mthReplied to Lancron
I think "Lord Thunder" is better, in Chinese it is "大人" which means "big person", it is to address anyone who is in a position of power.
"Who speaks?" The merchant turned his head and received a rude shock. "Y... Your Highness Thunder!" - Shihua_Bai10mthCommented
Congealed blood ain't half bad you know.
"Good job," Leaf said. She tied the boar's rear legs with vines and hung it up. "First let's bleed it out. His Highness says meat without any traces of blood is tastier." - Shihua_Bai10mthReplied to PandorasPlayer
I seriously doubt that a few dozen people eating wild animals to their heart's content are going to make even a dent in the ecosystem.
Leaf could not help smiling. The two of them had already become frequent visitors to the Misty Forest before she had integrated into it. They hunted in the forest to practice their magic powers, and Maggie would carry all of the prey they caught back to the castle. Half of the meat on the table these days was provided by them. - Shihua_Bai10mthReplied to maurits
That's due to flaws in the US political system, and the unwillingness to see the flaws, such as why not only elect someone who in the past has shown competency.
After witnessing constant miracles, members of the territory would gradually develop their confidence and sense of identity, collectively referred to as "superpower mentality" in later generations. Once a territory had become powerful and prosperous, the mentality of its subjects would inevitably experience positive changes. - Shihua_Bai10mthReplied to Yros
I think it is mistranslated again, in Chinese it just says "since the decision was a mistake..." so he may be referring to himself.
The old knight said slowly, "Since you know that your initial decision was a mistake, it's not too late to turn back." - Shihua_Bai10mthReplied to xX_Valtiel_Xx
A symptom that cultural advancement is lagging behind technology.
It took mankind nearly a million years to enter the Iron Age from the Stone Age, but only 3,200 years from the Iron Age to the Age of Steam. From the Age of Steam to the Electric Age, it merely took 150 years, and the world directly stepped into the information era in another 50 years. - Shihua_Bai10mthCommented
Direct translation: "why are you so obsessed with firing cannons?" While something like "warfare" may be neater, it doesn't get the slight cheeky tone in his line.
The Prince smirked and said, "Compared with heavy industry, light industry and civilian livelihood are just as important... Why are you so interested in cannons?" - Shihua_Bai10mthCommented
The translation of "mortal" is kind of strange, technically it is correct, but in English it makes it sound like she sees herself as immortal, which in Chinese you wouldn't have the same impression. Maybe a better translation is "worldly people" or "ordinary"?
"In the Holy City of Taquila, most of the Awakened Witches only treat ordinary people who couldn’t gather magic as humble servants, inferior people, or ... fertility tools." She said slowly, "but I didn’t think so. Even though they were stupid, they weren’t hopeless. Those people were no different from witches in many aspects as long as they were taught to learn and think. Because of that, many people thought that I was so weird that I had allocated part of the business in the tower to mortals. However, I didn’t expect that you are crazier than me since you are loyal to a mortal and take orders from him." - Shihua_Bai10mthCommented
Floor to ceiling windows, or window walls.
Roland stretched himself after finishing the opening section. He then walked to the French window. - Shihua_Bai10mthCommented
Mistranslated again, it is "since her memory began", or "since she could remember" or "since she has memory".
She had not been this overwhelmed since she recovered her memory. - Shihua_Bai10mthCommented
"They are mine, they are all..mine!"
Roland's mind was brimming with strength every time he saw the gratitude and trust in the witches' eyes.
