This holy text makes me lol too much. OMG they admit that it is lame but still they take pleasure in doing it (because they are members of an "evil" cult lol). At least they don't even try to hide their evilness like the terrans on TL lol. | ||

baby is 太阳, tai yang (sun), since his name is taeyang and On December 15 2010 16:38 ]343[ wrote: I mean, it is true that he had the advantageous position. You can't deny that. In other news, apparently Tempest's Chinese nickname is 无脑 (no brain) LOL. stats is 鞋拔子 (shoehorn... thing that measures foot size?). Best is 禽兽, "beast," and Flash is 教主, "Pope." lolol. (and Bisu is "old Bi"  )oh and reach is 英雄, hero , since he's so manly. | ||

I'd like to try and provide a better translation. His translations are correct but he didn't get the connotation across.  Stork's 万年老二 nick means "Second Child for 10000 years" And I think that word used for second Child "老二" to is quite informal. Like the difference between stupid and crackhead. But I'm not too sure.There's a list of people who always get's second place and they are called 千年老二 Second Child for 1000 years. http://baike.baidu.com/view/1808487.htm Bisu's 必老爷 means "Old grandfather Bi". 必 is pronounced bì. Respectful towards Bisu.Stat's 神偷 means goldly stealing or sneakiness. "偷"can mean to steal while "偷偷"means sneakily  Luxury: 他哥 simply means "His older brother "Yarnc: 他弟 means His younger brother Based on the explanation at http://bbs.plu.cn/archiver/tid-1033551.html Earlier, Little YellOw was more famous, so when Luxury was playing, people would ask, "Isn't he YellOw?" Then people who knew would say "it's little YellOw's his older brother. (weird grammar here, I know but I'm trying to get the connotation)" And it spread.People didn't know how to pronounce Luxury and it wasn't easy to make it into Chinese sounds, so they started calling him "it's Little YellOw's his older brother". But it was too long, so they shortened it into "his brother"Later, Luxury became better and better while Little YellOw was having a decline, so everyone became more familiar with Luxury. So people would ask,"Who is this?" The reply was,"luxury's his younger brother"And hence (the term) "younger brother" was born. great:头牌 means trump cardThis not so important but I would translate all the 大 into great or grand. As in Kwanro's 管若大帅哥 as great smart handsome man Kwanro. or Hyuk's 胡克大将军 great general Hyuk. Jaedong would be Great Demon King.What would  Fantasy's 饭太子 mean? Rice prince?Also, "猥琐" from 猥琐神教 (The Sect of Turtling) means something like "petty" or "low class" not sure of the meaning besides that it's definitely negative. | ||

Bisu's 必老爷 means "Old grandfather Bi". 必 is pronounced bì. Not a nice way of calling grandfather either. hmm, I thought Lao Ye is a term of respect? | ||

I don't really know just how much people like/dislike turtling. I generally hate turtling, some many times I'm also in awe of it. Kind of "holy crap I can't believe you can goddamn win like this" type of thing. Besides, I don't want to get hate mails from Flash and Sea fans.  On December 27 2010 10:16 kdgns wrote: actually i think "exploding head" is the term for afro, so really translated they're just calling him afro head. That is so much more lame for a translation. Not that I didn't read through the rest of your post, but didn't think there's much worthy enough to change. For Fantasy, his name in Chinese was translated by sound, so it sounded like Fan-Tai-Xi. Of which the first word, 'fan', is most commonly the character 饭. Hence when people type in fan onto their chinese keyboard, that is the word that fist pops up. It has nothing to do with the word rice. You seem to take a lot of the translations very literally. It's really not worth the effort. I translated it for fun and amusement. A lot of times it's just about getting what you feel is the similar term in the other language is, rather than literal translation. | ||
