English translated chinese meme template (from the animated version of 'A better tomorrow')

[@shuacan]

damn, shit was deep after all

[@Bos_Meong]

really? i feel asleep 🥱

[@youtubeuser1159]

Well it is from one of the best action movies ever

[@Lfg117]

Not deep. Was 1 of a zillion spare azz, uber cheesy, Cantonese-Chinese dialect 'action' (sh*t) movies made in HK. The Cantonese pop song, added by the mainland Chinese creator of the Gen-Z meme, wasn't part of the original, wack 1986 'B' movie upon which the now-universal meme, was/is based. Irony.

​@@Bos_MeongExacto. Cantonese action movies a low-grade cinema. 😂

Why is it so well animated

[@TheGrammarNazi123]

I think the guy who animated it teaches animation.

[@RickR69]

Slave labor.

[@fluffsquirrel]

@@TheGrammarNazi123I've heard of that! In Korea, animators of big animation companies started teaching it in animation schools, and comments were made about it.

[@StrwbrrySmmr]

Yeah it's almost uncanny. A lot of times in animation you just see very basic mouth and body movements that can fit multiple languages and don't have to be focused on as much. This animation is crazy though, he's genuinely looking like a person having an intense conversation in his native language. Even the little lip movements, where he's breathing and coming up with his next words. Crazy

[@fluffsquirrel]

@@StrwbrrySmmr Very detailed description, couldn't agree with you more Strawberry! The effort put into this cannot be excused for "motion capture" or other lame ways to create animation. This had real emotion put into it.

Wtf? Now I can relate to him even more. Coincidentally I am also waiting for an opportunity for three years to get the life I want. 🙂

[@taiwanisacountry]

You could also translate it to, that he wants to get out of his current life. Implicit being that he is being stepped on. It is explicit in the Chinese, but in the translation it can be made implicit. Translating is hard, especially for subtitles because of the flow.

[@Jan.Mendez]

Jesus died for your sins out of love and rose from the dead 3 days later so that you may have eternal life, believe in who He is and what He did to be saved.

[@amirfarahi3800]

The mouth animator needs a raise

[@taiwanisacountry]

Man it is so difficult to make a proper translation of this xD in the second sebtence I would go with: I want to get out of this life. Where being under the sole of others is implicit, it works if we had more context clues. But we don't. It could have made the monologue as a whole stronger, in my opinion. I have my own principles! I do not want this kind of life. You think I like to beg? Sure it is a free translation, and if I had an exam I would have followed your setup, because they would ask me, why did you add this, and subtract this? Just take it as you found it.

[@ultrajorge]

Languages are a sure a thing... Something similar also happens with the movie "City of God", when you speak both portuguese and english, you see that so much is lost in the translation from PT to the english subtitles...

The absolute disparity of quality is what gets me.
