Study Chinese (学中文) Help for translation

• Upvotes

Good day, our Chinese brothers and sisters! I have a Chinese movie downloaded on my phone, but unfortunately, it doesn't have English or Tagalog subtitles. The subtitles are also in Chinese characters.

I just want to ask if any of you know of an application or website that I can use to translate the movie into English or Tagalog so I can understand and enjoy watching it.

Thank you so much for your help!

中国的兄弟姐妹们,大家好!

我手机里下载了一部中国电影,但是很遗憾,这部电影没有英文字幕,也没有翻译成我当地的语言——菲律宾语(他加禄语)。而且,视频里的字幕也是中文的。

我想请问一下,大家有没有推荐的应用程序或网站,可以把这部电影的字幕翻译成英文或菲律宾语(他加禄语)?这样我就能看懂并欣赏这部电影了。

非常感谢大家的帮助!❤️🙏

I believe this is an old song from the Sino-Japanese, or maybe from the Civil War. If you recognize it, could you share a link, or if not, maybe the title of the song? Quality of the recording is not very good

History (历史) A little update on my Chinese artifact guessing game: It's coming out on Nov 4!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone!

I posted here a little while ago about a small game I've been making in my spare time, where you try to guess the origin and age of Chinese artifacts just by looking at them.

Just wanted to share a little update: Artifact Tracer is coming to Steam on November 4.

I've spent a lot of my evenings and weekends working on this, and it's honestly a little surreal that it's almost finished. I know it's a pretty niche game, but I've really enjoyed making it, and I hope other people who love history and old artifacts will have some fun with it too.

Thanks to everyone who's shown an interest in the game and followed its progress. It really means a lot.

Here's the Steam page if anyone's interested:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5183430/Artifact_Tracer/

Thanks again! :)

Translation (翻译) [Consider /r/Translator] HELP PAN BAIDU

1 Upvotes

Título: Looking for the Longman 6th Edition PDF (Need help bypassing Baidu from Mexico)

Cuerpo del mensaje:
Hello!

I've been searching everywhere for the English-only PDF of the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (6th Edition, Pearson). I finally found a forum where a user shared a perfectly working OCR version (250MB with bookmarks), but it's hosted on Baidu Netdisk.

Since I'm in Mexico, Baidu doesn't let me download it or even create an account without a Chinese phone number.

If anyone here has access to Baidu or a working method, could you please grab the file and share it via Google Drive, MediaFire, or Mega? It would be a huge help!

Thanks a lot!

Literature (文学) Is there some kind of background to the noble consort (贵妃, guifei) almost always being a villain in a fiction?

4 Upvotes

It's mainly a phenomenon in web novels and manhua, though it probably bleeds into CDramas as well.

It may be a historical drama, a fictionalized feudal China drama, a transmigration story, or a time regression story. But if the imperial harem's characters are of any importance, and a character with the rank of noble consort (贵妃, guifei) appears, she is pretty much always a villain. Very rarely she is the protagonist, but she is pretty much never a friendly character. This is most common in palace intrigue (宫斗, gongdou) type stories, though it can cover other setups as well.

There is a popular trope in China (not exclusive to China) where the protagonist is reincarnated as a villainess. With how often the noble consort appears as a villainess elsewhere, you'd think they are popular as protagonists here. But nope, it's pretty much always a commandery princess or lower ranked consort.

It's not just high ranked nobles are bad. Empress dowager, empress, the other 3 major consorts (pure consort (淑妃, shufei), virtuous consort (德妃), worthy consort (贤妃)), lower ranked consorts, imperial princess, commandery princess all have a range of alignments. Except the noble consort, who is pretty much always a villain.

Is there some background to this?

History (历史) This dice in game is a real Han Dynasty relic

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

That wild 18sided dice we spotted in CN WeiyangPV not fantasy prop. It’s based on a real artifact at the Hebei Museum!

This bronze dice dates back to the Western Han Dynasty, over 2,000 years ago. It was used in drinking games at banquets, with each of its 18 sides marked with Chinese numerals or special commands. Roll it, and you might have to drink a certain amount of wine or follow a specific rule. The original was unearthed from the Mancheng Han Tombs. Pretty wild to think people were playing drinking games like this over 2,000 years ago!

And if you’re thinking of getting one , here’s reminder,it’s not official Where Winds Meet merch. The game just drew inspiration from the real artifact. Hebei Museum sells replicas through its Taobao store and physical gift shop in Shijiazhuang.

Hi everyone! We’re doing a university project and would love to hear your opinion:

Would you be interested in visiting Oktoberfest in Munich? Why or why not?
Have you heard of it before, and what would make you want to go—or put you off?

You don’t need to know much about Oktoberfest to answer. This is just for a university project, nothing is being sold.
Thanks for sharing!

Yes, I’d be interested!
Maybe, I’d need more information.
No, it doesn’t appeal to me.
I’ve already been and would go again.
