Chapter 280 Three Body English Version
For Lin Han, writing poetry is only a dessert after dinner. His favorite is writing, but this "Mars" trilogy is not planned. To be honest, this series has won many honors and has a lot of readers abroad.
But Lin Han was not used to its translation and writing at the beginning, so he had never read it carefully. He would not start writing unless all the plans were written.
He copied a copy of "On Mars" and gave it to Li Wenyuan. He then walked to the balcony to breathe fresh air regardless of the other party's shouting.
There is a rare good weather in Yanjing at the end of October, without smog or dust, and the rare clear blue sky appears in sight. In the garden in the community, people walking with pets are chatting leisurely. The toddler fell on the grass and did not cry. The little girl riding a bicycle laughed crisply.
"Is this your poem?"
“It’s very well written!”
"When will I see it, I especially want to share it with others"
"If you don't answer, I will be unable to control my hands. Is this the inspiration for your new book?"
"Lin Han, don't pretend to be dead, come out quickly."
"Why did you think of writing about Mars again?"
After a while, Li Wenyuan wrote such a long story. As a science fiction writer, he understood more how rare this form is. Poetry seems to have never been a fate with science fiction. Lin Han's poem seems to have opened up a brand new world.
"Don't spread it for the time being, let's talk about it after it is published. By the way, I'm still writing "Three-Body 2" and haven't thought about the rest of the matter yet."
Li Wenyuan was indeed a little disappointed when he had good things that he could not share with others. "I'll try writing science fiction poetry later. Do you think this can be used in ancient science fiction poetry?"
"Uh, I haven't tried it, but it should be quite difficult." Lin Han told the truth. It was difficult enough to combine modern poetry with science fiction, let alone ancient poetry.
Li Wenyuan seemed to have found something fun, and he quickly spoke, "Then you keep writing, I'll find the format of ancient poetry to imitate it."
At about the same time, the editor of Reader magazine Matcha Melon Seed also received new news: "Our supervisor said that you can accept your "On Mars", but he hopes that such poetry will not appear in the next few issues. Is this OK?"
"No problem, I'm just trying it out. After a new genre is born, you need to think about it slowly. Then you can keep busy. The legal staff is still studying the contract. I'll email you after signing it."
"Okay, goodbye to Mr. Lin"
"Bye-Bye"
...
No matter what, Lin Han can't be too picky if he can calculate it. He is a newcomer to the poetry world, so he must abide by the rules set by others.
He carefully preserved the poetry document alone, and continued to write the ending of "Dark Forest".
This movie is nearly 300,000 words and is divided into three parts. After he browsed the previous text, he began to pound.
"Luo Ji slowly stood up, and finally glanced at Ye Wenjie and Yang Dong's tombstone, and staggered along the path when he came.
The ant had climbed to the top of the tombstone and proudly waved his savings to the newborn sun. For the things he had just born, it was the only witness to life on Earth.
...
‘I have a dream, maybe one day the bright sunshine can shine into the dark forest.’
At this time, the sun was setting here, and now it only showed a point on the top of the distant mountains, like a brilliant gem inlaid in Shishan E-commerce. The child had already run away and bathed in the golden sunset with the grass.
The sun is about to set, and your children aren't afraid?
‘Of course not afraid, she knew the sun would rise tomorrow.’”
After typing up the words to be continued, Lin Han knew that the "Three-Body 2: Dark Forest" ended here. He dragged the document to the front with some emotion and began to carefully review this article.
When writing too fast, your fingers can't keep up with the rhythm of your thinking, and sometimes you will make typos. He needs to proofread it himself first and then hand it over to the magazine. This is a responsible expression.
This time, he no longer imagined himself as an author, but restored himself to the identity of the reader and felt the shock of his heart from the reader's perspective.
The grandeur of the universe and the insignificance of human beings, the application of the laws of the dark forest, and the temporary success of the wall-facing plan also made Lin Han breathe a sigh of relief. He knew that this was just the calmness before the storm, and the tide was surging under the calm ocean.
Unlike the one-spot viewing, Lin Han now reviews word by word, but he didn't see one third at night.
Lin Han left a bookmark where he stayed, and then turned off the computer. He packed his wallet keys and went out to have dinner with Chen Jiaxuan. She said on WeChat that she would get off work soon.
The evening rush hour is never a scam. After a while, Lin Han came downstairs to Chen Jiaxuan’s office. At this time, they were still employees working overtime to do publicity and planning.
Mr. Lin Han helped Chen Jiaxuan open the car door and then close it. Then he turned to the other side to sit in the driver's seat and then tied his seat belt. "Today I have finished writing "Dark Forest" and will probably be able to check it tomorrow. Then I will give it to Renmin University Press so that they can start the publishing program."
"It's so fast? You have to combine work and rest when writing. I haven't heard anyone say that you write as fast as you." Chen Jiaxuan has heard that someone has died suddenly after overwork. She wanted to install an alarm clock for Lin Han and remind him to rest at any time.
"Don't worry, I know that I just downloaded a video game recently."
After the two of them arrived at a hot pot restaurant, they started ordering dishes seriously. The night in late autumn was a bit cold, so it was great to have some hot pot and spicy food.
The hot pot here is very authentic. Lin Han felt it was a little spicy, but Chen Jiaxuan still didn't feel it. She touched her belly and said with some melancholy: "I wouldn't have eaten so much if I had known it. Eating a hot pot would shatter my previous weight loss plan."
Lin Han didn't care about this. He put a quail egg into Chen Jiaxuan's bowl, "Just eat hot pot and exercise, and weight loss is not something you can rely on diet. I think you are in the right shape now, so there is no need to make it into ribs, and it is not good to feel."
"You're right. After you've digested it almost, you'll exercise on the treadmill for half an hour to go to bed at 11 o'clock."
"Let's go together. I happened to be not going to exercise today. I think the bed exercise is better for losing weight."
Chen Jiaxuan glared at Lin Han, "Even hot pot can't block your mouth, eat quickly."
"That's all!"
...
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening after eating the hot pot. They swayed on the street and let Ye Feng blow away the hot pot smell on their bodies, and then drove back to their homes.
Turning on the lights in the living room, Chen Jiaxuan took off her shoes and threw them aside. As an entertainment practitioner, she turned on the TV and didn't know what to watch, and finally fixed the channel on the sports live broadcast.
"Why are there a few more emails? What's the matter?" Lin Han just picked up the iPad, but there was a message on it. After clicking in and looking at it, it was actually from Penguin Publishing Group.
Chen Jiaxuan looked at the women's volleyball girls on the TV and asked casually: "What's the matter? I'm looking for you so late."
"The English version of "Three-Body Problem" was translated. They gave me the full text translated by Liu Yukun to let me see if there is anything wrong. I hope that the original author, I, can give them the news within three days. At the same time, I also gave me a physical book cover of the English version, which is so beautiful!"
Lin Han clicked the high-definition watermark-free large image on the cover and turned his eyes to the screen. Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but be surprised, "Is this the cover? I think it's a poster of Hollywood science fiction blockbusters. It feels so touching!"
The cover in front of you describes the scene in the Three-Body Game. The pyramid and one-eyed shape are very eye-catching, and the three suns are also faintly hung in the air, with their own style.
This looks much more sci-fi than the cover of the simplified version, and it can't be taken away at all. Lin Han really wants to share it with his fans.
"I'll take this picture down as a wallpaper. If I make a movie in the future, I can use this as a current poster." Lin Han lowered his head and started to operate it. He also downloaded the translated English version.
The Three-Body Problem in the previous life was also translated by Liu Yukun. Although Xiao Liu in this life had a deviation in age, his skills were still there. Lin Han slowly browsed it and felt that it was not much different from his previous life.
As an authentic science fiction fan and a three-body fan, Lin Han bought a hardcover physical book in Chinese and English as a collection, so he read the English version of "Three-body" which is translated into "Three-body Problem", which is more like a scientific research paper.
Due to the time difference, it may be during the day in Europe and the United States. His past emails were quickly responded to. Penguin Publishing Group agreed to Lin Han’s approach to publishing the cover, thinking that this would be a good publicity.
So Lin Han simply posted the same content on Twitter, Facebook and Weibo: "Today, the double happiness is coming. The first draft of "Three-Body 2: Dark Forest" has been written. It is being revised and proofreaded. It will be handed over to the publisher later. In addition, the English version of "Three-Body 3" has been translated and will meet you all around the world in the near future. The large picture on the cover of the high-definition **** is so cool!"
Today is destined to be a carnival day for the Three-Body Cult!
The fourth update is 10,000 words, don’t stop the monthly ticket, there are more than 30 tickets today
