Chapter 756 This isnât a misunderstanding
Translator 549690339
Chen Moâs Weibo was very simple.
âââThe new game âdoomsday of the United Statesâ, THE LAST OF Us. [Note This is not a translation.] â
The main body was just these two sentences.
The players were all dumbfounded. Why did he specifically indicate that this wasnât a misunderstanding?
âAt first glance, many players felt that the translation was quite appropriate. Didnât this English mean the end of the United States? â
âHowever, players who were good at English quickly explained that the direct translation of the English name should be ââthe last one to survive among us.ââ The titles in Chinese and English really had different meanings. â
âMany players finally understood why Chen Mo specifically said that it wasnât a misunderstanding. If he didn ât, people would definitely mock Chen Moâs English ... â
âIf ââthe end of the United Statesââ was to be strictly translated, it would be ââTHE LAST OF the USA.ââ In short, US should be changed to the United States, America, or U.S. If we were to use US, it would probably mean ââwe.ââ â
âHowever, since Chen Mo said that it wasnât a mistook, it meant that Chinese and English names didnât have the same meaning. The two names werenât translated, but were given separately. â
Many players were wondering why they had to do this.
âHowever, on second thought, he felt that the two names were quite interesting. â
âIf 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. â
âTherefore, the Chinese name ââthe end of the United Statesââ and the English name ââTHE LAST OF USââ seemed to be quite appropriate! â
âIn 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 ââaoââ did not have the pronunciation of ââwa,ââ but in his name, it was pronounced ââWA.ââ â
âReading such a word would not make you look uncultured, but instead, only those who insisted on reading ââaoââ would be regarded as uncultured ... â
âTo put it bluntly, this kind of thing was up to the parties involved to decide. ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThis was exactly what Chen Mo was doing now. The official Chinese name was âend of the United Statesâ, 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 authorâs two names, and they were both very fitting and easy to remember. â
......
Many players felt that Chen Moâs in-game name was quite domineering!
âââDoomsday of the United Statesââ... Was it trying to destroy the world or what? â
âMany 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. â
âThe United States after the zombie outbreak? Yes, that sounded like it! In other words, the rumors were actually true? â
The players started to watch the video.
......
âAfter Thunderbolt gamingâs logo, there was a brief black screen. â
âââWhat if itâs true?ââ a woman asked in a low voice. â
âThe 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. â
âHowever, these short four to five seconds were completely silent, silent and depressing. â
âThe screen turned black again, and a low male voice said,ââââDo you need me to remind you whatâs outside?ââ â
âThe 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. â
âââA long time ago, I also had someone I cared a lot about.ââ â
âThe 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. â
âUnknowingly, the faint background music gradually faded in. The simple guitar sound seemed to contain a faint sadness, telling something. â
âââBut now, that damn thing only has one use, and that is to make you lose your life.ââ â
âAfter that, there were many fragmented conversations. â
âââI need you to secretly take something out of the city.ââ â
âââSheâll be a burden, qiaoer. ââ â
âââI just need some simple equipment and we can be on our way.ââ â
âââIâm guessing itâs related to that girl?ââ â
âââItâs definitely related to that girl. ââ â
âââNothing can be worse than staying here, right?ââ â
âââWeâve been trying to drag out an ignoble existence, qiaoer. ââ â
âââNo, weâre trying our best to survive!ââ â
âââThis is our chance!ââ â
âââStop it, Daisy!ââ â
âââYou are taking a risk out of desperation.ââ â
A corpse hung from a tree.
A thug with a gun.
An abandoned mansion.
âJoel and Allie were hiding behind the wall, and the villainous men with grapeshot guns were searching for them. â
âââWhat do we do now?ââ â
âââDonât waste a single bullet. ââ â
âZombies, villains, poisonous gas, blood-stained knives, self-made bombs ... â
âââWeâve experienced so much and put in so much effort. It should be meaningful, right?ââ â
âWith Allieâs final question, the screen turned black and the video came to an abrupt end. â
......
âAfter watching the cinematics, many players were confused. â
What was this? I donât understand!
âObviously, the main technique of this video was ââdismantling,ââ 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. â
âHowever, the players didnât get much useful information from the video, nor did they see the highlights of the game. â
Combat system? Play? Character creation? There didnât seem to be anything special about them.
âThe only highlight was probably the plot, but the plot was not revealed at all. â
âThere were also players trying their best to speculate the plot of ââend of the United Statesââ, and they even managed to deduce something from the video. â
âThis 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. â
âOther than that, he couldnât find any more specific information. â
âMany players were a little disappointed. Although the promotional video was good, it was not as amazing as when mysterious seas was first released. â
âThere werenât many eye-catching settings in the video. Josh Wilson had added many special weapons, special zombies, and survival methods to his game. However,ââend of the United Statesââ was just a very ordinary traditional zombie theme! â
