Extra translation notes under the cut

2:41 mark: Can’t think of a good localized translation so I stuck with direct translation for “打脸王”, and to give some context, “slapping your own face” in Mandarin describes a situation where you declare something, and then go back on your word later. So for example in this context, XZG says ZYQ is “King of slapping own face” cause ZYQ said he only eats mala soup base for hotpot, back in Ep1. This then connects to the joke XZG made at 2:44 mark, saying ZYQ’s head being big is a result from “slapping” his own face too often.

2:50 mark: Directly translated the caption here, but basically it is meant to say ZYQ was both burned and feeling "cold" from XZG's diss about his head being big lol.

3:23 mark: Directly translated, ‘剪头’, pronounced ‘jian tou’, means ‘cut head’. But as ZZN and XZG explains, where they come from, it means ‘cut hair’, so I guess it’s only an uncommon term depending on the city you're in. Hence why some people might mistaken them to mean ‘cut head’ literally.

4:10 mark: The caption in chinese should've been '当场吓哭', and they're using a wordplay with XZG's name + direct translation of '哭'. The 'xia' in his name is '夏', and the chinese character in bracket is supposed to be '吓', which sounds similar. They also use 'cry' in English, a direct translation from '哭', pronounced 'ku'. So '吓哭' becomes '夏Cry' with the wordplay & direct translation.

7:23 mark: It’s a homophone joke. Ice-cream is pronounced ‘bing qi lin’ in mandarin, so if a Qilin goes to the North Pole, we assume it would become a ‘冰麒麟’, directly translated ‘ice Qilin’, pronounced ‘bing Qilin’.

All the 'la tiao' brands they mentioned from the 7:17 mark: 神厨小福贵, 根根香, 黄金甲辣条, 唐憎肉. One thing worth noting is "唐憎肉" literally translates to "tang zeng's meat", and if you're familiar with "Journey to the West", "唐憎" is the courtesy name of the monk in the story, and demons are always out to eat him cause they believe doing so would give them immortality.

Translation of the tongue twister they challenged: NanNan has a basket, the basket has plates. On top of the plates are bowls, in the bowls there’s rice. NanNan flipped the basket, the basket knocked over the plates. The plates knocked over the bowls, the bowls spilled the rice.

1:51 mark: i feel there's no simpler term or single word to translate "馋了", so whenever they use this word, i just translate according to the context at the time. it generally means when someone sees good food, it makes them want to eat it really bad.

4:18 mark: R1SE has a nickname as a group. From their CHUANG 2019 days, the canteen bottle, which in chinese is "壶", pronounced "hu", was like their thing. So some fans would refer to them simply as "hu", and over the years came up with a bunch of R1SE quotes/idioms based on the word "hu". The examples zxw listed were:

- 捂壶临门 (original idiom is 五福临门) - 壶气冲天 (original idiom is 虎气冲天)

7:35 mark: more about the "Lady Meng Jiang" folk tale they referred to.

8:12 mark: Liu Ye was referring to this song.

1:52 mark: Googled a bit (this page and this page explained it best for me), to avoid miscommunication on the field, Chinese military apparently have different pronunciations for some numbers, cause some of it sounds similar. So in the context of this video, I guess ZR is just pretending to speak military lingo for fun when HLL called him over the phone. He answers the phone with "洞拐洞拐 (dong guai dong guai)", which means "0707".

5:35 mark: link to the calculation on google lmao. The way i gotta do math to sub this episode... 🥴

6:00 mark: I'm not too sure on this even after googling lol, so take the translation with a pinch of salt - but i think the car here means a rented car. So it's like when you buy ticket fares for a bus or train, so the "traffic department" means the place you rented the car from. They prepare the ticket fares you need based on where you're traveling to and from.

6:06 mark: it's a Chinese internet slang to add "-ing" behind words to turn it into a verb. Have translated in a way that keeps the vibe of how it sounds in Chinese instead of localizing the translation.

6:58 mark: {SpongeBob•赵让 Ryan Channel} explained the origin of the "真香" internet slang in the 2:29 mark of this video if you're interested!

9:16 mark: the "石大腿" leg wrestling game they're referring to is probably the same one they played in 6:00 mark of this video (from the bonus content of Super Novae Games 2020).

10:13 mark: Googled a bit, this discussion explained it best for me - '精神小伙' originally means someone who has swag, but nowadays refers to someone who acts cool but are actually lame.
