Chapter 756 This isn’t a misunderstanding
Translator 549690339
Chen Mo’s Weibo was very simple.
“””The new game ‘doomsday of the United States’, THE LAST OF Us. [Note This is not a translation.] ”
The main body was just these two sentences.
The players were all dumbfounded. Why did he specifically indicate that this wasn’t a misunderstanding?
“At first glance, many players felt that the translation was quite appropriate. Didn’t this English mean the end of the United States? ”
“However, players who were good at English quickly explained that the direct translation of the English name should be “”the last one to survive among us.”” The titles in Chinese and English really had different meanings. ”
“Many players finally understood why Chen Mo specifically said that it wasn’t a misunderstanding. If he didn ‘t, people would definitely mock Chen Mo’s English … ”
“If “”the end of the United States”” was to be strictly translated, it would be “”THE LAST OF the USA.”” In short, US should be changed to the United States, America, or U.S. If we were to use US, it would probably mean “”we.”” ”
“However, since Chen Mo said that it wasn’t a mistook, it meant that Chinese and English names didn’t have the same meaning. The two names weren’t translated, but were given separately. ”
Many players were wondering why they had to do this.
“However, on second thought, he felt that the two names were quite interesting. ”
“If it was translated, whether it was from Chinese to English, it would lose its original meaning. If it was called THE LAST OF the USA or the last survivor, it would be not bad, but it would be hard to remember. ”
“Therefore, the Chinese name “”the end of the United States”” and the English name “”THE LAST OF US”” seemed to be quite appropriate! ”
“In fact, the final interpretation of names was still up to the creator. Whatever the creator called it, it was. Just like a certain famous author, Jia pingao. The word “”ao”” did not have the pronunciation of “”wa,”” but in his name, it was pronounced “”WA.”” ”
“Reading such a word would not make you look uncultured, but instead, only those who insisted on reading “”ao”” would be regarded as uncultured … ”
“To put it bluntly, this kind of thing was up to the parties involved to decide. ”
“This was exactly what Chen Mo was doing now. The official Chinese name was ‘end of the United States’, so no one would say that the Chinese name was mistook. Instead, they would think that there was a wonderful connection between the Chinese and English names. It looked like the translation was very accurate, but it was actually the author’s two names, and they were both very fitting and easy to remember. ”
……
Many players felt that Chen Mo’s in-game name was quite domineering!
“””Doomsday of the United States””… Was it trying to destroy the world or what? ”
“Many people thought that it would be a disaster or war theme when they saw the name, but the previous gossip had already spread, so it was most likely a zombie theme. ”
“The United States after the zombie outbreak? Yes, that sounded like it! In other words, the rumors were actually true? ”
The players started to watch the video.
……
“After Thunderbolt gaming’s logo, there was a brief black screen. ”
“””What if it’s true?”” a woman asked in a low voice. ”
“The scene appeared. On the chaotic streets, people were running for their lives. The roadside was lit up with raging fire. The scene was shaking violently, as if one could feel how panicked the people were. ”
“However, these short four to five seconds were completely silent, silent and depressing. ”
“The screen turned black again, and a low male voice said,””””Do you need me to remind you what’s outside?”” ”
“The sun shone into the dark room, and a deformed shadow appeared on the already rusty cabinet. It was human-shaped and walked upright, but it was also constantly shaking and letting out a heart-palpitating roar. ”
“””A long time ago, I also had someone I cared a lot about.”” ”
“The scene switched to a middle-aged man and a young girl walking in the lush forest. Then, there was a close-up of a little girl. The little girl, who was supposed to be in school, was loading the pistol with great familiarity. ”
“Unknowingly, the faint background music gradually faded in. The simple guitar sound seemed to contain a faint sadness, telling something. ”
“””But now, that damn thing only has one use, and that is to make you lose your life.”” ”
“After that, there were many fragmented conversations. ”
“””I need you to secretly take something out of the city.”” ”
“””She’ll be a burden, qiaoer. “” ”
“””I just need some simple equipment and we can be on our way.”” ”
“””I’m guessing it’s related to that girl?”” ”
“””It’s definitely related to that girl. “” ”
“””Nothing can be worse than staying here, right?”” ”
“””We’ve been trying to drag out an ignoble existence, qiaoer. “” ”
“””No, we’re trying our best to survive!”” ”
“””This is our chance!”” ”
“””Stop it, Daisy!”” ”
“””You are taking a risk out of desperation.”” ”
A corpse hung from a tree.
A thug with a gun.
An abandoned mansion.
“Joel and Allie were hiding behind the wall, and the villainous men with grapeshot guns were searching for them. ”
“””What do we do now?”” ”
“””Don’t waste a single bullet. “” ”
“Zombies, villains, poisonous gas, blood-stained knives, self-made bombs … ”
“””We’ve experienced so much and put in so much effort. It should be meaningful, right?”” ”
“With Allie’s final question, the screen turned black and the video came to an abrupt end. ”
……
“After watching the cinematics, many players were confused. ”
What was this? I don’t understand!
“Obviously, the main technique of this video was “”dismantling,”” which was to break the complete plot of the game into many segments and interweave the dialogue between the characters, so that the players could get a few words about the plot, but it would not produce any spoiler effect. ”
“However, the players didn’t get much useful information from the video, nor did they see the highlights of the game. ”
Combat system? Play? Character creation? There didn’t seem to be anything special about them.
“The only highlight was probably the plot, but the plot was not revealed at all. ”
“There were also players trying their best to speculate the plot of “”end of the United States””, and they even managed to deduce something from the video. ”
“This was indeed the post-apocalyptic world after the zombie outbreak, and the protagonist should be the middle-aged qiaoer. From his words, it could be seen that he had gone through a lot of struggle to survive in the apocalypse. He had once lost his true love, but now he was involved with a little girl. ”
“Other than that, he couldn’t find any more specific information. ”
“Many players were a little disappointed. Although the promotional video was good, it was not as amazing as when mysterious seas was first released. ”
“There weren’t many eye-catching settings in the video. Josh Wilson had added many special weapons, special zombies, and survival methods to his game. However,””end of the United States”” was just a very ordinary traditional zombie theme! ”
