As I perhaps have mentioned once before (?) I do have the intention to create some subtitles for My Chief and My Regiment (let's just call it MCMR as someone else has already suggested)...
I perhaps will find some time in the near future....
But one thing for sure: It's not going to be easy. XD Because there are huge cultural differences, so... translating something in a way, in which it makes sense, sounds natural in the target language but also does not "betray" the original... it's going to be a challenge, for sure.
Well, and of course, we'll also have some problems with (nick)names and titles and etc. (shizuo, tuanzhang, tepaiyuan, ... FYI, the official translation for shizuo is apparently "his excellency the army commander" (at least according to MDBG.net))
I guess the only (nick)name for which I've got a suitable translation right now would be gourou (lit. "dog meat"), Long's dearest brother by heart: MEATBALL. What d'yall think?
Any tips/ideas/recommendations for the other ones?
and a happy new year to everyone!
师座还没成婚吧? The division commander has not been wed yet, has he?
师座为人的分明,是乱世中我心里难得的亮堂。 The division commander's noble and upright conduct is a rare light in these troubled times, brightening my heart.
师座安好,师座无恙,我一直惦记着师座。 Has the division commander been safe from harm, is the division commander in good health? I've been thinking about the division commmander the whole time.
师座,西进吧,别北上…… Division commander, go west, not north...
the "shizuo's" are k i l l i n g me.
唉产品。。。。。
“你们的师座狂热又迷人。整个顾问团都说,他是年轻的凯撒。可我老麦说,他太爱战争了,生命对他只是战争的燃料,他该去看医生。”——亚瑟·麦克卢汉
"Your division commander is full of passion and charm. The whole advisory group is saying, that he is just like an young Caesar. But I, McLuhan, think, that he loves war too much. And lives, to him, are nothing but fodder for war. He should go and see a doctor." - Arthur McLuhan
“我的师座不是战争狂,他只是焦虑太过了,焦虑太过了,但总好过那些没心没肺的醉生梦死吧。一尘不染的事情是没有的,我们每天都在吸进灰尘,但不妨碍我们做的好一些啊,没有人经得起别人的挑剔。我们只想要一个答案,但答案不该是死啊。”——龙文章
"My division commander isn't war crazy, he's only got too much to worry about, to be anxious about, but surely, he is better than those befuddled nitwits, who are living in a daze. Indeed, nothing in life is perfect: every day, we are trudging through its ups and downs, eating dirt, biting dust. But that doesn't hinder us from doing a bit better—no one's able to endure being picked on by another. We only want an answer, but that answer shouldn't be 'death'." - Long Wenzhang
It isn't often, that I come across a character, whom I find compelling, captivating, fascinating. A character, with whom I feel a certain connection with, having me laughing with them, having me crying with them. And division commander Yu, Yu Xiaoqing, would be such a character.
He is a military man, through and through; some may even call him a perfect soldier.
A soldier, who never sits, when he can stand. “国难当头,岂能坐视。” "With our country facing imminent danger, how could one sit down and watch."
A commander, who is able to let go of personal feelings and ties, executing his own brother, who failed in his duty as a commanding officer. “前主力团团长,我胞弟慎卿,把江防管得外紧内松,自己又临阵失惊,我刚去弹压,把他砍了。” "The former head of the main regiment, my younger brother Shenqing, was superficial in his management of the river defense, over and above that, he lost his nerve in battle. I just went to suppress the situation, and I cut him down."
But at the best of times, he is only a child. A child, that dreams big. A child, that wants to do good. A child, shackled by its naivety.
His innocence shines through in his directness, his stubbornness, his every single action—and my heart aches for him.
He is a character, complex in his simplicity and simple in his complexity.
BRO, YOU ARE SETTING SOME NEW STANDARDS FOR ME
XING JIADONG AS YU XIAOQING | MY CHIEF AND MY REGIMENT (2009)
主持人:如果还有机会修改的话,你会修改哪一场戏,为什么?
兰晓龙:我也许会让伍六一进老A。
——观众鼓掌
兰晓龙:我觉得最强悍的两个男人能够在一起转一下,因为这个时候他转的结果是不由编剧左右的,他会是一个——我对他们俩都很、非常尊敬。我非常希望这两种我非常尊敬的东西碰在一起,能碰出一种能让我受益匪浅的东西。所以说我说的这个希望是完全为我。我非常自私的认为我自己考虑,就是说希望我的人生经验或者说编剧经验里面能多家这么一这么一条。
主持人:能够碰撞更加强烈的火花。
兰晓龙:对。
主持人:啊,当然,你的这个假设显然是得到了我们观众的普遍认可,是吧?要不然有那么经久不息的掌声。
兰晓龙:我没想到这么经久不息。
——观众鼓掌
主持人:所以说啊,这又是一条经验。你看看,虽然没有改,但是这个经验已经给你了。如果这么去改的话,大家一定喜欢。
Host: If you had the chance to make changes, which scene would you modify, and why? Lan Xiaolong: I might have Wu Liuyi join Old A. —Audience applauds— Lan Xiaolong: I think it would be interesting to see these two men—the strongest of the bunch—come together. At that point, the outcome wouldn’t be something the writer could control. I have immense respect for both of them. I really hope that these two qualities I deeply admire could collide and create something that would benefit me greatly. So, this hope of mine is entirely selfish—it’s for my own sake. I’m thinking purely from my own perspective, hoping to add another layer to my life experience or my experience as a screenwriter. Host: It would create even more intense sparks, right? Lan Xiaolong: Right. Host: Well, of course, your idea has clearly won the audience’s approval, hasn’t it? Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such long-lasting applause. Lan Xiaolong: I didn’t expect the applause to be so overwhelming. —Audience applauds— Host: So, this is another lesson. Look, even though you haven’t actually made the change, the idea has already been planted. If you were to make this change, everyone would definitely love it.
