Zhou Jia, a writer, suddenly receives the "Unfulfilled Regrets System." She can livestream to change the life trajectories of historical figures in China who had unfulfilled regrets. Howeve...
Zhou Jia was just talking with a smile, but she didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to actually start translating the comments on the spot, and translated them into many languages. Zhou Jia laughed even louder when she saw this.
Everyone in Wan Chao looked at each other, not knowing what was so funny.
Finally, Zhou Jia explained:
"You can translate it quickly because you are Chinese and you have been educated since childhood. You can understand the meaning of these poems. But foreigners have not received such education. It is difficult for them to translate without knowing the meaning.
Moreover, it is difficult for foreigners to understand the context of ancient Chinese. If they don’t understand it, it is naturally difficult for them to translate it for you. What they can translate may just be a plain explanation without any artistic conception.
Let me give you an example: the setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color.
As soon as this sentence comes out, you can imagine this scene, right? If foreigners translated it, it might be like an eagle flying through colorful clouds, with the river and the sky dyed the same color flowing into the distance. Simply put, they can't translate such a beautiful context, and the meaning is not very accurate.
Li Bai, the Immortal Poet: [What a wonderful sentence! What a wonderful sentence! I wonder who could have written such a beautiful and exquisite sentence!]
Li Bai couldn't help but comment out loud, a bit surprised to see the prefix before his own name.
The Immortal Poet?
Is this the evaluation given to him by later generations?
Li Bai's words instantly blew out all his fans, who were frantically scrolling through the screens with his name, it was a definite idol meeting.
Li Bai didn't expect that so many people knew him, and he was a little surprised to see that they liked him so much.
Du Fu was very happy to see this, "You are worthy of being my brother Bai."
He then began to write poems for his idol.
Finally, Zhou Jia suppressed his excitement and said, "Everyone, don't get excited. This isn't your home turf yet. Wait until you're on your home turf before you come out. Brother Bai, I'll keep the secret about who wrote this a secret for now, and I'll explain it later."
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, whose death was hoped for by both his fans and haters, immediately turned his face dark when he saw Li Bai surrounded by so many people. He gave Gao Lishi beside him an unhappy look, and Gao Lishi immediately took the order and left.
Before Li Longji, those who didn't know Li Bai were curious about his identity.
Ying Zheng was also curious about why Li Bai had such a great appeal, and from what he observed, Zhou Jia also loved Li Bai very much, although it was not obvious.
Brother Bai.
Oh.
He still remembered that someone had called him Brother Zheng.
"Who is this person?" Liu Zhuzhu also hoped that Zhou Jia could give an answer, but Zhou Jia had already passed this question.
"Now to answer His Majesty Taizong's question, translation is what I just explained to you. It's translating our language into other languages or vice versa. The ease of translation depends on the skill of the translator. If the skill is high, then it will naturally be easy.
The language we speak in later generations can be called Chinese, but it is more accurate to call it Mandarin. We all speak Mandarin now. In addition to learning their own ethnic languages, ethnic minorities also have to learn Chinese, and they also have to take exams in Chinese. This is also to facilitate communication between ethnic groups.
So, Your Majesty, please work hard and let the people of the six kingdoms who have returned continue to learn the Qin language. Otherwise, communication will be a little inconvenient. So I am speaking Mandarin to you now, otherwise I might be speaking in dialect."
Ying Zheng, who was cueed, thought her suggestion was very good, so he gave Li Si a look, and Li Si immediately understood and stepped back.
Finally, he looked at the screen and asked: [Do ethnic minorities also speak their own languages and learn about their past?]
Zhou Jia didn't react for a moment to what he meant by the past of ethnic minorities. "What do you mean by them..."
She thought about it and suddenly realized what Ying Zheng really wanted to ask.
"Oh, Your Majesty, what you really want to ask is whether their related book culture still exists."
Perhaps her words reminded Ying Zheng of the situation where he was burning books, so he asked this question.
Zhou Jia did not wait for Ying Zheng to answer, and continued:
"Your Majesty, please don't compare our current situation with yours. Back then, we were all united and working hard to make our lives better and stronger. That's why everyone supported and firmly implemented all the decisions made above. We all know that we are a family, so we don't do anything petty.
But you didn't have the idea of being a family at that time, and the same was true for many dynasties that followed. So I just told us that we are now a family, but I didn't tell you not to fight the Huns or the Mongols anymore. After all, we are a family in the future.
I understand that times are different and the background is different, so Your Majesties, you can do what you should do. I really don't want war to break out, but sometimes war is really unavoidable.
I'm not a saint, so you don't need to worry about me. I'm only responsible for being your backup granary, providing you with supplies in a timely manner, and being a messenger. "
Chinese
Liu Che slapped his thigh and said, "Well said!"
When he first knew that Zhou Jia said they would not fight anymore, he was worried that Zhou Jia would force them to stop fighting. But now it seems that he was worrying too much. Zhou Jia still has some brains.
Song Dynasty
Zhao Gou, who murdered Yue Fei, was somewhat angry when he heard Zhou Jia's words. "Since we are all family, why don't you tell us not to fight? Why do you still want to instigate a war among us?"
