223 Cultural differences

"Big stupid cow, it's not a big year, why did you suddenly think of buying so many fireworks?" Gu Jiangxian looked at the box in the entrance hall of the castle, she was angry and funny, "What are you going to celebrate?"

Gu Fan patted the fireworks tube beside him: "That's the case, I plan to help Mengmeng expand a little extracurricular hobby, the origin of gunpowder and directional blasting technology." ”

"What are you talking about?How old is Mengmeng?Are you going to train her to be a crazy Ivan?" Gu Jiangshuang raised her eyebrows.

"Crazy Ivan is a man, and I can train Meng Meng to be Tanya at most. Gu Fan corrected the woman's mistake, he sighed and said, "Don't be in a hurry to get angry first, I can't help it." Meng Meng is rummaging through my old accounts, and this time I can't say anything practical if I don't give her anything. ”

Gu Jiangxian said worriedly: "So your blasting science, you plan to start with cultivating Meng Meng and setting off firecrackers?" As she spoke, she looked around for a while: "What about Meng Meng people?"

"She played with fireworks in the courtyard. Gu Fan pointed outside the door, "I gave her a few boxes of cold light fireworks." ”

"Dad, Dad," Gu Yao rushed into the hall like a gust of wind: "Meng Meng also has to learn to blast, and Meng Meng also wants fireworks to help Qiu Lily take a bath." ”

Bathing with fireworks? What the hell is the autumn lily doing?

The couple glanced at each other, and Gu Fan took a firework stick from the box and gave it to her daughter: "Yaoyao, take Dad to see, what the hell are your sister and Qiu Lily doing?"

In fact, without the little guy's guidance, Gu Fan can also find Gu Meng's location.

She was crouching under the World Tree, holding a fairy stick and fireworks to direct the flower elves to move up and down, left and right.

Qiu Lily's body was as fast as a meteor, moving back and forth with Gu Meng's waving: "Hahahahaha, it's the first time I've seen this kind of cold and shivering flame." Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, can't you consider what I just proposed?"

"Don't worry, what the cute little fairy said, there is nothing that cannot be realized. Gu Meng was engrossed in paddling his own trajectory in the air: "My sister has already helped with the fireworks." ”

"Sister, the fireworks are coming. Gu Yao trotted all the way over, she was so excited that she blushed a little, and handed over the things in her hand to Gu Meng.

"If you see it, it's just there. Gu Meng dropped the burned fairy stick in her hand, and she said to Gu Yao: "Sister, come and help, my sister wants to help Qiu Lily tie a medieval burn stake." ”

Autumn Lily hovered in front of the sisters: "I want the Joan of Arc to be burned at the stake, and you will play the role of the executioner who burned Joan of Arc?" Well, the lord is also here, and you have come just in time to watch the execution ceremony of Joan of Arc. ”

"Qiu Lily, what kind of thoughts are you instilling in my daughter?" Gu Fan frowned when he heard this: letting others burn themselves at the stake with a fairy stick sounds like an abnormal request.

The flower fairy circled around the World Tree, and she defended herself loudly: "I didn't tell the eldest princess anything, it was the eldest princess who told me the story of Joan of Arc. I was so moved by this story that I wanted to experience what Joan of Arc was like. ”

Knowing that he couldn't persuade the flower elf, Gu Fan turned his head to the green dragon girl under the world tree and said, "Ahna, don't you plan to persuade Qiu Lily?

The green dragon girl yawned lazily: "Your Excellency, rest assured, even an electric oven of two or three hundred degrees Celsius can only give her sunbathing for the day." This kind of low-temperature and cold-light fireworks can't do her harm. You can rest assured that autumn lilies will not turn into flower fairy barbecue. ”

As she spoke, she stretched and stood up: "When the time comes, I'll make dinner." ”

"She doesn't change the barbecue or second," Gu Fan said loudly: "I can't let her teach Mengmeng to joke with life, this kind of demon moth thing must not appear in my house." Sometimes I really don't understand, is it the nature of the flower elves in your world to die like this?"

That's right, that's it. Ahina's eyes suddenly lit up: "I finally know why the lord has a wrong understanding of the word flower elf. Just as there is only one word difference between the Night Elves and the Dark Elves, their population habits are very different. ”

"When I first interpreted autumn lilies as flower fairies, I translated them literally in Chinese. This translation is similar to translating Optimus Prime into Ke Bowen, and is closer to transliteration than paraphrasing. If you knew what the flower elves meant in our world, you wouldn't be worried about them. ”

At first, Gu Fan was a little confused, but with Eshna's explanation, he gradually came back to his senses: "Do you mean that the word flower elf is transliterated? Just like Ehna originally meant the path under the shade of the world tree, the word flower elf also has a real meaning?"

"Yes, that's it. Ekhna gave her a knowing look.

Speaking of this, the Green Dragon Maiden said very seriously, "Ever since I came to this world, I have been struggling with how to properly translate the real name of the flower elf. It is necessary not only to be trustworthy, but also to be as simple as possible. ”

"I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't find the right word, until the lord reminded me just now. If you use the most apt name to describe it, the word flower fairy is translated, it should be a demon moth. ”

"Demons, non-humans. Moths, like light and fire. At the same time, the demon moth also has the meaning of unreliable nonsense, which is really appropriate. Saying that, Aihana also looked at Gu Fan with extremely reverent eyes: "Lord Lord is really rich in learning, and he can often do it in one sentence." ”

"Demon moth?" Qiu Lily circled around Gu Fan: "People also like this name." Thank you, Lord Lord, for your name. ”

"The name is not for you. Gu Fan patiently explained: "This is the correct translation of the three words flower elf. By the way, there's one more thing I'd like to ask. Are these three words autumn lily transliterated or paraphrased?"

Without thinking, Eshna said, "Of course it's a transliteration, so that I can call it a little more smoothly." I've called her Qiu Lily for many years, and I won't get used to it if you let me change my mouth for a while, and she won't get used to it. ”

Gu Fan suddenly had an extremely bad feeling: "Let me ask more, the three words of autumn lily are translated in Chinese." Based on the knowledge of Chinese you have learned, what are the three words that should be the most appropriate paraphrase?"

"It's not three words, it's four words. Eshna corrected solemnly: "My Chinese knowledge is the same as my cooking skills, and it has been synchronized twice." The person who gave me synchronous knowledge was an old professor of the Chinese Department of Tianyin University. Although I didn't go to Peking University three times, I also had an undergraduate level in Chinese language and literature. ”

Gu Fan: "I didn't ask you about your knowledge level, I just asked you what the three words of autumn lily translate into?"

The green dragon girl nodded calmly: "The most appropriate title should be similar to the old demon of Montenegro." ”

Autumn Lily is an old demon of Montenegro?

For the first time, Gu Fan hoped that something was wrong with his ears.

"Montenegrin old demon, my sister and I only watched this movie yesterday. Before the matter here is finished, Gu Meng over there has already begun to sing a Chinese ghost story: "Life is the extension of dreams." In the dream, there are rare tears. In the red dust, how many sweet dreams are there - hey, where is our family's Nie Xiaoqian Ning Caichen?"

Even the little guy Gu Yao timidly pulled his father's sleeve and looked at his father innocently: "Dad, is our castle going to be renamed Lanruo Temple in the future?"

"Why did our house become Lanruo Temple?"

"Because my sister once told Yaoyao that my father's profession is a warrior monk. A warrior monk is a monk, and a monk should live in a temple. ”
