Chapter 308

Lin Han, who originally planned to write a new book for a few more days, had to return to his busy schedule because of the English version of "Three-Body Problem". The "Three-Body Problem" series was popular in China, burning the patience of overseas readers almost the same.

Although Lin Han gave the original manuscript to Liu Yukun for translation after writing the last two works, the translation is not an imaginary problem style, and it needs to be optimized and the sentences are detailed and appropriate.

On the world-wide forum of sffod, many readers have started to translate it themselves and even helped foreigners sort out comparison tables, but this is still difficult to understand.

For Western readers who are not familiar with China, those large amounts of detailed annotations are essential, and some special scientific terms also require professional explanations, such as the Tomoko in the first part, the Water Drops in the second part, and the Two-way Foil in the third part. How these words can better make foreigners understand them is the question Lin Han needs to think about.

Science fiction has some professional vocabulary, sometimes just a small piece of technical description, but it requires a lot of extra homework. Lin Han read a large number of English science papers before preparing for translation, and at the same time contacted two physicists from Tsinghua University to understand how they named them in the scientific community, and was also reviewing mathematical formulas.

As a Chinese in his previous life, he didn't need to read the English version of "The Three-Body Problem", but just bought the English version to collect the cover. At that time, he flipped it out casually.

In other words, the English version of "The Three-Body Problem" is more like Lin Han's first translated work. It truly relies on himself, which completely ignited Lin Han's passion for work!

According to the current progress, Liu Yukun has translated "Dark Forest", while he wants to independently translate "Death Eternal Life"!

The name has been named "death's-end", which roughly means the end of death, which is similar to the name.

At night, the heating made the study extremely warm. Lin Han was wearing a sweater and sitting in front of the computer, and a cup of coffee was placed beside the table. While he was looking up the scientific papers he borrowed from the National Library, he knocked English onto the document.

"It's 12 o'clock, are you sure you won't sleep?" Chen Jiaxuan's head was a little messy. She leaned against the door and just put a mask on her.

Lin Han reached out and took a sip with a coffee cup. He replied, "It just happened to be writing these things when it was late at night. You go to bed first. I'll write for a while. If the keyboard sounds too loud, you can close the doors of the bedroom and study."

Chen Jiaxuan walked over slowly. She took away the coffee cup from Lin Han's hand, then bent down and kissed him on the lips, "Don't drink coffee at night. You translate your own, it's even more tiring than writing "The Three-Body Problem" yourself."

"This is incomparable. After all, English is not my native language. I can only start rushing to put it on the shelves. Let's get this English version out as soon as possible, and convert it into Spanish, French, German, Japanese, etc. If you don't write it out, overseas readers will probably come to Yanjing to sit in and demonstrate."

Lin Han hugged Chen Jiaxuan's slender waist, then helped her to tidy up her head slightly, but there was no way to make progress.

"Okay, OK, don't stay up all night, I'll go to bed."

"Good night, have a good dream."

After watching Chen Jiaxuan close the door and leave, Lin Han subconsciously stretched out his hand on the table, and the coffee cup disappeared. He smiled silently, shook his head and continued to devote himself to the translation career.

There are always some lengthy paragraphs and a large number of vocabulary in the version of "The Three-Body Problem", which will increase obstacles if translated directly, so Lin Han chose to break down these longer paragraphs and delete too many modifiers.

By adjusting the word order, the narrative Luo's collection is clearer. Lin Han used to have performed the English version of "I, Robot" and "Martian Rescue" by himself, but they were all copied directly through memory. There is no difficulty, the main branches have not changed, the background and specific plot are just minor repairs.

This time, the translation of "Death Eternal Life" depends on Lin Han himself. In addition to retaining the original literal meaning, it also requires sky-high explanatory sentences to ensure that readers can understand his meaning.

As for some typical Chinese sayings, Lin Han did not use the original rhetorical technique, but directly explained the meaning of the sentence. He was unwilling to let the Western stereotype of China influence this work, and too direct translation would become very mysterious.

Cultural differences are essential. This soft culture output must retain the original flavor of the version as much as possible and cannot be completely Westernized. Otherwise, what is the difference between it and the science fiction of European and American writers?

I don’t know how long it has passed, but Lin Han shifted his gaze from the computer screen to the outside of the window. He stood up and moved his shoulders and neck. At this time, the community was silent, and it was obvious that only the street lights were still standing guard.

Flying snowflakes fluttered down, and the whole world was covered in silver. Lin Han rubbed his eyes and temples. When he looked at the time, he didn't expect it to be 2:30 in the morning.

After yawning gently, he decided to relax, so he began to take out his phone and continue to try out "Martian Rescue", which had been running in his phone for nearly a week.

During this period, Lin Han did not deliberately adjust the time. He guided the protagonist in the story to escape from danger according to normal proportions. Even though he had written "Martian Rescue" and watched the movie, he still died many times during the game.

Click to enter the game app. This icon looks very touching, with conspicuous and refreshing colors, and the page you enter is very smooth. After all, this is just a text adventure game and does not need to take up much running space.

At present, Lin Han's progress has reached the point of growing potatoes. The last time the character he chose died was because of using oxygen and hydrogen to make water. If readers knew that the author had been having such a hard time, they would probably be laughed to death.

Similar to the game "Lifeline" that Lin Han once played, the main line of "Marls Rescue" is to return to the earth safely, but there are many ways to die.

Even when Lin Han was planning, he wanted to combine "Martian Rescue" with "Georgetic" to allow the male protagonist to escape from Mars alone, and then go back to Earth alone after various hardships in the universe.

Obviously, this is different from the plot trend of "Martian Rescue", so he was rejected by the group and the planning team. Lin Han himself enjoyed it. He felt excited just by thinking about it, although it was full of all kinds of impossible things.

Back to the topic, the astronaut selected by Lin Han finally planted potatoes after various hardships and successfully contacted the earth. It was originally the Space Administration to guide the astronauts, but now it has become a player.

After no food and living conditions were bothered by the fact that Lin Han controlled the protagonist to explore the surrounding maps, Mars rover, solar charging panels, food, and reactors were indispensable, and they could not be frozen to death as soon as they went out.

However, the Martian storm came unexpectedly, and this storm actually caused some release points. A corona discharge caused by particles in the sandstorm damaged the circuit of the Mars rover!

The astronaut was isolated and helpless more than ten kilometers away from the camp. If he walked back to find repair tools, he might die in the middle of the road. Forget it if he got lost, it might even be because of insufficient oxygen and air pressure in the space suit.

The game's pictures and music are very touching. This is the right to buy it after spending a lot of copyright fees. It's just right to cooperate with the game. Moreover, the dubbing staff they invited is very emotional and fully expresses the psychological condition of the crashed astronaut. The player has a natural sense of inclusion in his ears and wants to rescue him quickly!

This time I played for several hours. When there were sounds of dog barking outside the window, Lin Han rubbed his red eyes. He had just played for several hours in one breath, and he also successfully used the compass to find the camp location and used another Mars rover to pull the damaged car back!

The game is very playable. Lin Han yawned several times in a row. After saving the game progress, he mobilized the statistics next to him. He had died 11 times and had accumulated 35 hours of game time.

Save the screenshot of the initial cover of the game and the number of deaths. Lin Han put on a micro. Bo said: "I'll report to you about your recent work situation. I'm currently working hard to translate the English version of "Death Eternal Life". I stayed up all night last night, but it was because of playing the game! The mobile game of "Martian Rescue" has been completed and is currently under closed beta. As a game expert, I have played for so many hours in a row, and now they are not friendly to players at all. I've actually died 11 times! And I've died so many times but haven't passed the level yet. I really doubt whether this plan was written by me. I died accidentally. I strongly recommend that the game be renamed to Mars's one million ways to die! a Star Leap Game"

Lin Hanwanwei and Bo showed off his flaunts and went to the bathroom to clean himself, then fell asleep on the bed. He was too sleepy.

And the sensation caused by screenshots of this game on the Internet has just begun!

"Mars Rescue" was sold by Lin Han last year and has a very good sales volume in China. Lin Han was even noticed by the Mars project team of the China Space Administration for its outstanding achievements. It can be seen how much influence it has.

Not only are there professionals from the China Space Administration conducting analysis, but even the American Nasa engineers have sought after this movie.

Unlike ordinary and seriousness, "Martian Rescue" seems particularly humorous and witty, and the writing is very down-to-earth. Almost all Lin Han readers like this science fiction.

I said a few months ago that this movie will be adapted into a game, but now the picture is truly exposed. Although there are only two screenshots that have not been modified by art, they are very eye-catching.

The game starts up very atmospheric. On the orange-red Mars, a lonely figure in a space suit is facing away from people, desolate and lonely, and he is waiting for people to rescue!

The screenshot behind surprised fans even more, tf?

As the author and the game planning consultant, Lin Han couldn't pass the level perfectly. Not to mention perfection, he died 11 times and continued to explore. If an ordinary player could play it?

Will it be too difficult?

But it seems to be more difficult and playable. If it is the same as those web games with a level 999, what else is it?

The more difficult it is, the more attractive it is. Lin Han’s fans can’t wait to reply on Weibo.

"Good morning, it's not a good habit to stay up all night, hurry up and go to bed! Foreign readers can wait slowly. Anyway, I have finished reading "The Three-Body Problem". Regardless of whether they can see it, the body is the most important thing [cover your mouth and laugh]"

"Oh my God, Teacher Lin is addicted to games and is getting thinner. I also want to play this game. Where can I get the qualification for the closed test?"

"Teacher Lin, you are so embarrassed that you can die so many games you make. I'll share it with you. How did you die these 11 times?"

"The front row is watching strongly. I only noticed that Teacher Lin's cell phone is only 5% battery? Obsessive-compulsive disorder means to charge it quickly!"

"I can't wait until when will "Martian Rescue" be released!"

"It is the right thing to do when you hurry up and make new books. Don't play games, lose your ambitions."

"My God, Teacher Lin must have been targeted by the game operator. Hurry up and take revenge!"

"The front row watches the game opening screen, the interface is so touching, don't swear your appetite."

At this time, the editor of Xingyue Game's Weibo also came to join in the fun. He turned this post and posted a picture comment, "Teacher Lin, can you be content with just 11 deaths? I have died 27 times. Who knows what I have experienced!"

As if Pandora's magic box was opened, a group of Star Leap Game employees posted screenshots of their game, with deaths of either more than ten or twenty times, and some individuals reached forty times, which is said to be specifically designed to test death plans.

An employee with zero deaths was showing off at Lin Hanwei.com: "A group of scumbags, I've crushed you after seeing my deaths. What does it mean to pass the level in one life!"

However, the onlookers exposed his mask without mercy. The game time was only 1 minute, which was obviously just starting to play.

The style of painting suddenly changed. No game company has ever compared the closed beta game with fewer deaths. Netizens have been eye-opening once!

These attracted netizens began to ask, when will this TM be played? It shouldn't be too much of a too much appetite. No text adventure game has ever received so much attention.

This game, which just revealed its own face, quietly climbed to the top ten of the new work expectations list of well-known game websites with the expectations of so many fans!

Star Yue Games and "Martian Rescue" are about to make a big splash!
Chapter completed!
