Starting from June 12th, all three-star hotels in the eighth district of Beijing can get the English Translation of Chinese Menu from the Catering Management Office of the Tourism Bureau, and more than 2,300 Chinese dishes finally have their own fixed names. From now on, foreigners coming to Beijing will no longer be "on tenterhooks" about ordering Chinese food. However, the English translation of these Chinese dishes has gone through a difficult process from ridiculous to standardization and regularization. The English translation of Chinese food used to be ridiculous.

　　Chen Lin, a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, is a core member of the translation team of "Olympic Menu", and he participated in the translation of "Olympic Menu" all the time. When he and his colleagues saw the ironic English translations of many Chinese dishes, they felt a heavy sense of mission while laughing.

　　"The standardization of English translation of Chinese food began in 2006." Chen Lin said, "At that time, the Beijing Foreign Affairs Office and Tourism Bureau organized some old professors and started this work in cooperation with the translation room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We collected more than 6,000 kinds of China dishes, then reduced them to more than 2,600 kinds, and finally determined more than 2,300 kinds for translation. " Experts who have been engaged in foreign language teaching and research for many years, such as Chen Lin, couldn’t help laughing after seeing the original English translations of these Chinese dishes.

　　For example, "Mapo Tofu" is translated into "bean curd made by a pock-marked woman" (tofu made by a woman with freckles); "Husband and wife＇s lungslice" is translated into "hubband and wife’s lung slice"; "Broiler" is translated into "Chicken without sexual life" (chicken without sexual life), and these English translations are reported by the media as news.

　　"There are many others. For example,’ Braised lion’s head’ is literally translated. Like’ husband and wife lung slices’, who dares to order such a dish from a foreigner who doesn’t know?" Chen Lin said with a smile, "To this end, we have formulated seven principles for the translation of dish names, including trying to keep the cultural color contained in the dish names, expressing the raw materials, tastes and practices of the dishes, trying to keep the commonly known names as agreed, trying to be concise and to the point, and then dealing with special situations." Now, the above Chinese dishes finally have an official name in English. MapoTofu is transliterated as Mapo Tofu, Broiler Chicken is literally translated as Steamed Spring Chicken, and Braised Pork Balls in SoySauce is translated as Braised Pork Balls according to raw materials and production methods. Similarly, "Husband and wife lung slices" is translated into "Beef and Ox Tripe in Chili Sauce" (beef and tripe in Chili sauce).

　　Experts also argue in the process of translation.

　　Since it is a translation, there is bound to be an argument. "This is normal." Chen Lin said, "For example, some people translate it into delicious pork meatballs, and some people translate it into sour and sweet meatballs. After discussion, we finally think that the later translation is more appropriate, so the English translation that appears on the menu is the pinyin of" Gollum Meat "in front and the taste" ‘Sweet and Sour Pork with Fat‘ "in the back. "Chen Lin said that all the people involved in the Chinese-English translation of this dish name are equal, and anyone’s opinion may be rejected. "For example, one translation of’ shredded pork with fish flavor’ is’ pork strips with fish flavor’, but some people suggest that’ fish flavor’ doesn’t seem to have a fixed taste, which makes sense. Although I agree with the above translation, I followed everyone’s meaning and finally translated this dish into’ pork strips with sweet and sour taste’."

　　"The name of the dish can’t be too long. Our primary purpose is to let foreigners know the raw materials, tastes and practices. The China culture contained in the name of the dish can only be covered as much as possible. It is impossible to list long paragraphs on the menu to explain the origin of’ kung pao chicken’ or’ crossing the bridge rice noodles’. The spread of China culture and China food culture is indeed very important, but we hope that these will become the conversation materials at the dinner table. For example, through the introduction of tour guides, the mission of spreading food culture should be better. "

　　Therefore, on the menu, all the dishes with the word Gong Bao are prefixed with "KungPao", and the most common translation is "practice+raw materials+taste", and special circumstances need special treatment. "For example,’ Buddha jumps over the wall’ can’t be translated directly, so you can only use Pinyin, and indicate the materials and practices, so that foreigners can understand it at a glance." Chen Lin said.

　　The inexplicable translation of the name is more than the name of the dish.

　　The translation of "Olympic Menu" has aroused great concern, not only in China media, but also in many foreign media. For example, the Washington Post published a full-page report on the Chinese-English translation of the "Olympic Menu" on the front page. They can’t help sighing that they won’t be puzzled by the strange names of dishes when they arrive in China. In fact, it is not just the English translation of Chinese food that puzzles foreigners.

　　"Before translating the names of dishes, we have done many other translations, including signs and road signs in public places, and we have seen more jokes, such as’ Be careful of falling into the water’ being translated into’ falling into the water slowly’ and’ Don’t trample on the green land’ being translated into’ Greenland’, but this English word refers specifically to’ Greenland’." Chen Lin said.

　　Chen Lin also used the words of foreign friends to emphasize the importance of standardizing the translation of dish names. Some foreign friends told Chen Lin that it is better not to change some existing translations. For them, these translations are very interesting. In this case, they can communicate with their friends. They even suggested that a related museum should be established.

　　"When I was interviewed by foreign media, I said that there are historical reasons for this situation in China. Now, these efforts we have made for the Olympic Games are to provide convenience for them and also reflect the overall English level of our country, so it is very meaningful to do this work. " Chen Lin said.

CCTV News:Following Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, cherries imported from a vegetable wholesale market in Shijiazhuang have also tested positive for nucleic acid recently. Shijiazhuang Municipal Market Supervision Administration issued the "Emergency Notice on Suspending Imported Fruits in the City". From January 24th, the food production and business operation units in Shijiazhuang suspended the purchase of imported fruits. The county market supervision and management bureaus carry out comprehensive investigations on the enterprises that store, process, produce and sell imported fruits within their respective jurisdictions, and all the imported fruits sold on shelves in the whole city shall be sealed off the shelves, and all the imported fruits in existing stocks shall be sealed on the spot.

Although Shijiazhuang officially announced on January 25th that after re-inspection of relevant products and personnel, the test results were all negative, and no COVID-19 virus was found. As soon as the news that many imported cherries were positive came out, many consumers were worried that imported cherries could still be eaten with confidence. What does it mean that its nucleic acid test is positive?

Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist of China CDC, said that nucleic acid positivity is not the same as infectivity: on the one hand, the temperature of preserved fruits is higher than that of frozen fish and other foods, and the virus has a short survival time at the temperature of preserved fruits; On the other hand, the nucleic acid test is positive, which may be a live virus or a dead virus or virus fragment, and it is not necessarily contagious. Wu Zunyou reminded that as long as you pay attention to hand hygiene and wash with running water before eating fruit, there should be no risk of infection.

Feng Zijian, deputy director of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, also said that positive detection does not mean infection with the virus. "It depends on the amount of pollution, and whether the polluted virus is active." Take Wuxi as an example. The imported cherries in Wuxi are positive for nucleic acid, and the virus load is very low, which will not cause too much infection risk to consumers. Feng Zijian said that people engaged in food processing or handling were infected before because they had been exposed to the virus for a long time and many times. For consumers, imported fruits generally do not cause infection, and they can be safely eaten after cleaning.

　　　　 Liang chen and Lu Jing, the sweet couple CP, have become the new wall of the audience. The love between them from the internet to reality has brought the sweetest candy in spring to countless audiences.

　　Of course, this drama is more than just "sprinkling sugar". In the love relationship between liang chen and Lu Jing, the audience can see that the feelings are clean and pure. Under this emotional core, it also stands out in the "sister-brother relationship".

　　At the end of the drama, Xu Mengjia, the screenwriter, accepted an exclusive interview with Sina Entertainment. In addition to sharing the creative process of the drama, she also responded to some questions raised by the audience.

　　From network to reality, it takes a process.

　　Sina Entertainment: Why did liang chen and Lu Jing fall in love online for so long? Many viewers are anxious to see their sweet interaction.

　　Xu Mengjia: The first story tells that online dating comes into reality. Online dating is different from love in real life. It can quickly fall in love with a person at first sight. When online dating, Lu Jing didn’t know liang chen’s true identity, let alone his height, weight, age and appearance. Moreover, liang chen also turned on a voice changer, which will make Lu Jing even more uneasy. Another point is that Lu Jing and liang chen didn’t go for online dating at first.

　　During the game, we let two people have feelings for each other, and then admit that they like him/her without knowing the identity of the other person, and they are willing to go to real life. This decision is not so easy to make, and it needs to be cautious, so it needs some emotional foreshadowing to reach the degree that the last two people are willing to go to the show.

　　Sina Entertainment: In the process of playing games, how do two people’s emotions progress step by step?

　　Xu Mengjia: When we first made the outline, we sorted out the emotional progressive relationship between the two people. First of all, we always think that the first five episodes of the game are very important. In the first game, it was Lu Jing who fully demonstrated his skills, and liang chen admired him very much. But at the same time, liang chen also fully demonstrated his own dishes, and Lu Jing was actually a little disgusted and depressed.

　　By the second time, liang chen had already made him a human backpack and sent him bullets. This kind of behavior was actually touching for Lu Jing. At the same time, because he felt the admiration of liang chen, he also wanted to show off his skills. Unexpectedly, he overturned, and it would be a little fun for them to start playing again.

　　When we arrived at the prison scene, we wanted to make an obvious progress in their feelings, so we emphasized that liang chen had some funny operations during his play, and liang chen was there to protect Lu Jing when he hung up. When Lu Jing came back, he asked liang chen why you didn’t run? Liang chen said that because we are going to die together, in this process, Lu Jing felt that the girl was very helpful. So I have changed a lot for her.

　　Through these games, we let Lu Jing and liang chen feel the joy and fun of playing with each other, and at the same time let them see each other’s bright spots.

　　Sina Entertainment: What are the considerations in the design of game scenes?

　　Xu Mengjia: We changed the original PVP game into PVE, and changed the battle between players into a confrontation between people and robots. First, we kept the foundation of the gunfight game, followed by the collaboration between players, and the design of the copy of the game. If we just beat around in a map, it would be too boring, so we set different scenes for each copy, including the royal banquet hall, the prison and the ancient tomb jungle. In this case, it means that the audience can have a visual ice cream effect, and they can see that the hero and heroine have different costumes and different tasks in different scenes, and they will have a sense of freshness every time they are in the game mode.

　　Sina Entertainment: In the previous plot, there were many coincidences between liang chen and Lu Jing, and netizens commented that it was "too routine". What do you think of such comments as a screenwriter?

　　Xu Mengjia: I admit that this problem does exist, but there are actually objective reasons. First of all, the two of them are online dating. As I said before, there needs to be a process to warm up their feelings in the game. Two people don’t meet, but we are worried about them, because not meeting for a long time won’t do, so they also have some intersections in real life. In the process of writing, it’s impossible for them to really make any progress in real life, because they don’t know each other that you are the object of playing games with me every day, so everyone will think that there may be some drama in this part. Now I see the back and find that there is such a problem.

　　There is no contrast between liang chen and Lu Jing, but they grow together.

　　Sina Entertainment: Compared with Liang Chen, Lu Jing is a college student. Will the relationship between two people have a sense of disparity between feelings because of the disparity in status?

　　Xu Mengjia: Although there is a certain gap temporarily, I think the two people are evenly matched. First of all, in her career, Liang Chen is certainly needless to say. She is a successful female star with many awards. However, although Lu Jing is a student, he has also won many awards, and he is still a good student. He is also the first Asian champion, and now he is still trying to participate in various competitions and big data competitions. Therefore, Lu Jing’s future is actually not lost to Liang Chen, which is in his career.

　　Emotionally, I think these two people are independent personalities, and they don’t say that one party is completely obedient to the other. First of all, they all have clear plans for their own lives, their own careers and their own future. Two people belong to the common growth, even if there are problems, they will discuss with each other, run in with each other, and then reach an optimal and harmonious state, so I think the state of these two people is very equal and also a very good state.

　　Sina Entertainment: Apart from the setting of two schoolmates, what is the uniqueness between Lu Jing and liang chen, which is different from the love between male and female protagonists in other plays?

　　Xu Mengjia: First of all, they are different in identity. One is a student and the other is a singer. They are bound to encounter secular prejudice, for example, some people think that primary school students eat soft rice, etc. What we want to say is, don’t care too much and be too afraid of secular prejudice. Once you choose, you should pursue it bravely and fall in love bravely.

　　There are two people together, liang chen and Lu Jing are actually problematic, but don’t give up easily. We should communicate well, run in with each other and grow together.

　　Finally, don’t care too much about some external conditions. The essence of love is the attraction of the soul, so I think I hope that after watching it, the audience can stick to true love and don’t choose a relationship or enter a marriage just because it is suitable.

　　Sina Entertainment: In the process of watching the drama, do you think that Lin Yi performed your imaginary landscape?

　　Xu Mengjia: I think he is Lu Jing in my heart. He performed an unconventional schoolmaster. Lu Jing is very friendly to his roommate, the people around him, his neighbors and his friends. I think this is very similar to the feeling that Lin Yi himself gave me. Lu Jing is a very hard-working person, and I think Lin Yi is also a very serious person.

　　In fact, in the preparatory stage, I have already discovered that he is a very serious actor I have ever seen. He will often attend script meetings with us and give opinions. For example, Lin Yi thinks that maybe the Lu Jing written in our script is sometimes too pretentious. Unlike a college student, he will advise us to accept it. I think what he said is very reasonable, so we try to make Lu Jing change him to be more grounded, more like a college student, and not too pretentious.

　　We will talk with Lin Yi about his own understanding of Lu Jing. In the process of the actor’s own search and understanding of the role, Lin Yi did a very good job. The biggest surprise he gave me was actually kissing the scene. Lin Yi was really good at meeting relatives and acting very well.

　　Sina Entertainment: What do you think is higher than the script in liang chen performed by LULU?

　　Xu Mengjia: What surprises me about LULU is that her acting skills are very good. In the process of acting these romantic dramas, she will make me feel particularly substituted.

　　In the process of performing this role, she will give us something that is not written in the script. For example, she has her own thoughts on the career development of this role. In fact, I think there are still some places that are not quite like a female star in our script. But through LULU’s performance, I think this is what I want to show a female star in her life. She actually makes up for some shortcomings in the script.

　　Sina Entertainment: liang chen chose Lu Jing instead of Ding Jiayun. In the love between the year and the year, why are there more "love under the year" in recent years?

　　Xu Mengjia: First of all, I think sister-in-law love is different from the traditional idol drama, which is generally a mode in which men are older than women. It is a quite new theme, and the audience doesn’t watch it very much. At the same time, I think it also reflects the rise of women’s consciousness in society. Now the audience doesn’t particularly like to see women’s roles attached to men.

　　The audience’s ideas are similar to those we want to convey, that is, they strip off the external conditions of a man, such as his age, his income and his career. If you only look at him, his personality and his quality, will you still like him? What we want to convey is that you like his soul and his personality, not his external conditions. Under such circumstances,

　　There is something wrong with the rhythm. We have tried to restore the famous scene.

　　Sina Entertainment: How to convince the audience of the heroine’s identity background?

　　Xu Mengjia: We didn’t package liang chen as a "big star". liang chen is just a popular female singer. As a singer, she is still a little different from the current star. But I think LULU has actually performed the feeling of being a popular singer.

　　I think whether liang chen can become a popular singer depends on her own ability and strength, rather than focusing on things like hype and publicity. We want to shape her into an image that attaches great importance to her work and cares about her future career growth, and is also an image that dares to break through herself.

　　LULU performed particularly well in this respect. In the 26th episode, she had a match with Liu Yiqing. At that time, liang chen insisted on singing "The First Dance in Winter", but Liu Yiqing just felt that we couldn’t do it for the time being. Can you put it down for the time being and get through this competition before making a breakthrough in the future? But LULU, she played with tears in her eyes at that time. Just say that you have been following the arrangement of the company for so many years, but you have never thought about my feelings. Why did you join this program? I came to this program just to break through myself, otherwise why did I come? When I saw this scene, I was actually particularly moved.

　　Sina Entertainment: It’s almost the end of the show. Now let’s take a look at the creation of the whole drama. What do you think is the gain and loss of this drama?

　　Xu Mengjia: First of all, the biggest feature of this drama is sweet and funny. I think we have done it in this respect. Whether it is the leading role or the supporting role, the image of the role is vivid and can be remembered by the audience. I think this is what we have done. There is also the famous scenes and lines of the original, and we have tried our best to restore them. There are some problems. First of all, there are still some problems in the rhythm. Everyone says that there are too many passes, which feels like a routine. We admit that there is indeed a problem. There is also my feeling that we paved the line between Sun Binyu and Mashanshan too late. In fact, their scenes should be mentioned in the male and female two, and more scenes should be given to them in the early stage, which is also a problem that we will try to avoid in future works.

Bi Shumin said:Travel is a blind herb that can cure the bitterness of life.

It is also said that traveling is from a place where you are tired of living to a place where others are tired of living. Spend your own money, make others rich, then go back to the place where you are tired of living and continue to live tenaciously.

Like most people, I like to go out and have a look every year. In the past few years, the travel environment has been affected, and every time I go out, the troubles caused by the epidemic are not satisfactory.

After the Spring Festival in 2023, the epidemic was suddenly unsealed, which made people excited.

Retirees’ lives include not only pots and pans, but also poems and distant places. Gradually drifting away from society, it is inevitable to produce some spiritual internal friction. It is much better to spend some money to eliminate internal friction than to spend money on medical treatment.

Time and tide wait for no man, travel plan, put on the agenda.

After years of practice and feeling, I still prefer the semi-self-help travel mode: harmony but difference, casualness and freedom.

You don’t have to worry about the itinerary and accommodation, and you don’t have to worry too much about the safety of traveling alone. You can not only enjoy the leisure of seeing the mountains and water, but also have the opportunity to meet like-minded travelers.
