Chapter 9 Translation
The weather was too hot, and the reason why Fang Wenjin didn't go out was largely because she had just taken a shower, her hair was still wet, and of course it was fragrant.
Because Qi Ming wanted to blackmail Fang Wenjin, this girl deliberately delayed the time to change clothes, and let Qi Ming sit alone in the corridor for about 20 minutes.
When Fang Wenjin changed his clothes and pushed the door out, the short T on Qi Ming's body was already soaked with sweat.
"It's too hot outside, where are you going to take me?"
Seeing Qi Ming's sweaty appearance, Fang Wenjin, who was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, also began to chirp weakly.
"Come with me first, and I'll explain to you on the way." While talking Qi Ming, he pulled Fang Wenjin downstairs.
Even though it was just over nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was already about to bathe the streets.
"You'll have to do me a favor, of course you're not paid for it."
Fang Wenjin was reluctant to ride, so he sat behind Qi Ming's saddle.
Although she took the initiative to mention it, a little girl of this age, sitting on the back of the boy's bicycle, still seemed to have nowhere to put her little hands, and finally could only hold the saddle tightly.
The sun was about to wilt her, so she said weakly: "What help, don't deal with another bottle of soda." ”
"Naturally not," Qi Ming smiled, "I would like to ask you to translate some English, what is your current remuneration for translating foreign language books with those publishing houses?" ”
"The price is not necessarily, and a lot of what I translated were user instructions, as well as some non-encrypted files. The price of the manuscript fee is not high. ”
"According to the highest."
"75 pieces of 1,000 words."
"So I'll give you 100 yuan for 1,000 words, and translate something for me, similar to some lines and dialogue. However, the number of words may be relatively large, and the total number of words is about 100,000. ”
Fang Wenjin made a rough calculation, and was a little surprised, "That's a lot, 100,000 words is 10,000 yuan?" ”
For an English maniac who sees translation as a way to strengthen her vocabulary and speaking skills, she never imagined that she could make so much money from English translation.
You must know that the scattered translation work I received in the past was only a few thousand words, and I just earned pocket money.
"Well, just a little more."
Hearing Qi Ming say this, Fang Wenjin became worried: "I can try, but I don't know if I can do it." There are a lot of colloquial things in the movie, and although the literary quality is not as good as that of the novel, it is not easy to translate. ”
"You can rest assured, you believe in yourself, and there will be no problem."
Qi Ming hummed and rode her in a car along the way, and she chattered all the way behind the bike, nothing more than worrying about what Qi Ming was going to do.
Fang Wenjin, who has been a good girl for so many years, always feels a little apprehensive.
couldn't stand Fang Wenjin's broken thoughts all the way, so Qi Ming told Fang Wenjin that he was going to sinicize the genuine game.
Of course, Qi Ming didn't explain, between him and the boss who has the wind on the Internet, there is still something about cracking the genuine game.
"Is this really going to make money?" Fang Wenjin asked.
Qi Ming's tone was extremely firm: "Yes, surely." ”
While speaking, Qi Ming rode a car with Fang Wenjin and came to Zhao Zeming's house.
Knocking on the door of his house, when he saw Qi Ming, he couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing here?" ”
"It's been a few days since I said goodbye last time, so I'm coming to see you." Qi Ming put up a smile on his face, and was about to go to the house as he spoke.
Zhao Zeming stopped him: "I haven't seen you run to my house once in three years of high school, and you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, did I let you in." Huh? Fang Wenjin, are you here too? Please come in, there are drinks and ice cream in the fridge, I'll get it for you. ”
After speaking, he didn't care about Qi Ming, so he ran back to the kitchen to get Fang Wenjin a cold drink.
Qi Ming didn't have time to wipe the sweat off his forehead, lifted Zhao Zeming's computer cloth, and then pushed the disc that the boss of the Internet Affairs Suifeng gave him, which stored the English files of six games, into the CD.
"Qi Ming, you're so rude! Did I let you touch my computer? ”
Zhao Zeming, who came out with a cold drink, immediately exploded when he saw Qi Ming sitting in front of the computer.
Qi Ming, who was in front of the computer, said without looking back: "Don't be noisy, give me a cold mouth and moisten my throat." ”
Qi Ming pedaled the bicycle all the way, and Fang Wenjin was sitting behind the key, riding for half an hour with the sun on his head, his mouth was dry, and his throat and eyes felt like he was about to burst into flames.
"Drink the fart, you." Zhao Zeming said angrily.
Fang Wenjin explained: "Zhao Zeming, we want to use your home computer to translate something. ”
"I definitely support your affairs, use the computer casually, if you need help, just mention it."
As he spoke, Qi Ming had already read out the documents of the six games, and after opening them, Fang Wenjin glanced at them, but he was also surprised by the massive number of words.
"So much?" Fang Wenjin was stunned.
Qi Ming asked, "Is it difficult, within three days, all the words in these documents have to be translated, and there are a lot of dialogues in them." ”
In fact, Qi Ming knows that the biggest vocabulary of these six games is not "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider", which were classified as action games back then, and all the cutscenes added up may not necessarily have one-third of the vocabulary of a movie.
The real vocabulary is astonishing is the "Outlander Requiem".
As a representative work of RPG games in 1999, its huge world view, rich NPC characters, and twists and turns of the plot attracted not only foreign players but also a large number of domestic players in that year.
If it weren't for Blizzard's Diablo 2 coming out in another year, it's likely that the popularity of Outlander Requiem would have lasted for several years.
Fang Wenjin looked directly at the document displayed on the computer screen, in fact, the English dialogue in the document had been carefully divided by Qi Ming. Remove the complicated and cumbersome code, and what is left is a simple English conversation.
As long as the translation is completed, it will be embedded in the text and put it in the game document.
This kind of operation of playing Chinese patches,Qi Ming has been playing stand-alone games for so many years in his previous life.,I've long been familiar with it.。
"We can divide the work and share the workload." Qi Ming said.
I've played these games in my previous life, and I have a little bit of English foundation, although the number of words is less, but I can do it by turning it hard.
For example, games like "Delta", "Allied Expendables", and "Rainbow Six" don't have much translated content.
"I can help too." Zhao Zeming said on the side.
Qi Ming immediately said, "You didn't get paid for coming." ”
Zhao Zeming didn't look at Qi Ming, but just looked at Fang Wenjin with straight eyes: "I think it is very meaningful to be able to do something with you, or help you share some of it, it doesn't matter if you have money or not." ”
Licking the dog, that's really awesome!
After negotiating the division of labor, the substantive translation of the Chinese will begin.
Zhao Zeming is the top student in the class, although Qi Ming has only taken one or two books, he is not a scumbag, and with the help of the memory of his previous life, he can naturally translate it easily.
But the most surprising thing for Qi Ming was Fang Wenjin, who was mainly responsible for "Requiem for an Exotic Town", because there were a large number of NPC dialogues in it.
Translating English into Chinese is very simple, but translating colloquial content into Chinese tests not only English ability, but also one's writing ability.
After Fang Wenjin opened the document, he seemed to be caught in his own world, staring intently at the lines of dialogue on the computer screen.
She was still a little unaccustomed to using a keyboard, so she could only write on paper with her hands.
The entire "Requiem for an Exotic Town" has a minimum of 70,000 or 80,000 words.
The normal sinicization group is a few people taking turns to sinicize.,It takes two days at the earliest.。
Zhao Zeming belongs to turning hard, and Qi Ming belongs to turning through according to his memory of clearing the game, plus his English level of less than half a bottle.
In the next three days, Qi Ming rode almost every day, carrying Fang Wenjin to Zhao Zeming's classmate's house.
When people have a head, they are motivated to do everything.
Although the workload is very large, and the details are tedious and cumbersome, Fang Wenjin seems to like this kind of work very much, and he did not shout a word of tiredness or bitterness within three days.
On the afternoon of the third day,All the English content of the six games,All the Chinese content was completed.。
Among them is "Requiem for an Outland" that is enough to write a medium-length fantasy novel, which is more than 87,000 words in English.
After completing the sinicization, Qi Ming has to stare at the game cracking.
Running to the technology market that night, Qi Ming came to the Internet alone.
This time, it's not just the little boss surnamed Lu who came, but there were two new faces.
A man and a woman, the male appearance belongs to the rougher kind, the head is round, although the skin is white, but it is all ruined by the blue stubble on the cheeks.
The other woman is said to be the bearded girlfriend.
He has a slim figure and wears a red plaid shirt. He has short neck-length hair, a short athletic T that clings to his body, black-framed glasses framed on the high bridge of his nose, and his hair is short but jet-black and shiny.
To say that it is really a pair of beauty and beast, the woman's eyebrows are delicate and delicate, and she is a beauty at first glance, especially in her figure, a pair of jeans makes the two long thighs look straight and thin.
"Come, let me introduce you." As soon as the little boss who was in the wind of Internet affairs entered the door, he began to introduce, "This is my good buddy in the forum, Liu Shanshi." This is his girlfriend, Su Feifei. ”
The slightly chubby man named Liu Shanshi just hummed and nodded at Qi Ming, without much intersection.
On the contrary, Su Feifei took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Hello." ”
Qi Ming absentmindedly touched her outstretched hand lightly.
"I hope we have a good time working together." Su Feifei didn't withdraw his slender right hand too quickly, but instead smiled at Qi Wei, "I think you shouldn't be very old, eighteen years old?" ”
"I just graduated from high school, and I have to go to the university to report in late August, so I want to earn some money in the summer vacation and subsidize the living expenses of the university" Qi Ming said to Su Feifei with a smile, and the smile on his face was sincere.
"Very good." Su Feifei pretended to be mature and smiled, and Su Feifei handled the intellectual maturity and temperament quite well.
In fact, she and Qi Ming are only two years apart, and they pretend to be mature just to show that they have some city government.
At this time, Liu Shanshi, who had been silently next to him, glanced at Qi Ming, dissatisfied with this young man with fine skin and tender meat, and talking so much about his beautiful girlfriend, so he said with a mouthful of Beijing films: "It's almost there, Xiao Lu, is this high school student you found reliable?" ”
