The total box office of "Nezha 2" has exceeded 11.5 billion yuan! The overseas version of the dialogue translation was exposed

According to online platform data, the total box office (including previews and pre-sales) of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Conquers the Dragon King" has exceeded 11.5 billion yuan. Currently, it ranks 11th on the global box office chart and is making a push towards the top 10.

While the box office of Nezha 2 has exceeded 10 billion, it has also been officially released overseas. Many netizens are curious about how the overseas version of the lines will be translated, such as Nezha's most popular limerick?

According to reports, Nezha's doggerel is translated into iambic pentameter + heroic couplets, as follows:

I am Nezha the Third Prince

I am Nezha, the Third Prince bold!

Can subdue demons and write poems

I slay the demons, I write in rhyme untold.

Today we are here to eliminate evil

Today I come to rid the evil's breath.

You evildoers, die soon!

You wicked fiends, prepare for death!

Wang Xiaohui, vice president of the Translators Association of China, said that this is an iambic pentameter, which is also called 5 meters or 5 feet.

For example, in I am Nezha, I am counts as one (foot), Nezha is one (foot), and the Third/Princ/bold is three (foots).

Iambic is a foot composed of a non-stressed syllable and a stressed syllable. Heroic verse is a heroic couplet, with two lines rhyming in each.

Wang Xiaohui believes that you have to make the other party accept it, especially when it comes to Chinese allusions. It is common sense to us, but knowledge to others. The more cultural confidence we have, the more we need to have such an inclusive mind and bearing.
