The movie Ye Jinglu played was originally in English. There were no genuine resources on the Internet. It was a pirated version found from a seed bank, with some subtitles made by the Chinese language group that loves to generate electricity.
When it comes to translation, English-to-Chinese translation is the same as Chinese-to-English translation. In many places, it is always difficult to achieve perfect honesty and elegance, especially for amateur Chinese groups, so there is no way to translate some lines. As good as it gets.
But it doesn't matter to Li Chenghuan.
He also watches some movies at home, especially after he can understand the movie without reading subtitles, this becomes an excellent pastime.
Back then, he had finished watching Friends without finishing an episode.
One advantage of learning English in this way is that you can understand some vocabulary and short sentences based on scenes and situations. If you also understand some local culture, you can even understand the jokes that only native speakers can get.
This classic love movie is very good in terms of plot and character selection, and it is very eye-catching.
But Ye Ninglu still had some doubts and looked at Li Chenghuan several times while watching.
She feels that this is a youth romance movie, but it probably won't particularly attract the attention of little boys.
Because of the English original sound, Zi Hao felt a little bored after watching it for a while, and whispered: "Sister, can you watch Iron Man..."
Ye Ninglu did not answer immediately, but looked at Li Chenghuan, "What do you think?"
Li Chenghuan smiled and said, "I can do it."
Ye Ninglu watched the movie for a while and said, "Let's just watch this one."
Ye Zihao sighed.
The movie continued to play, and there was a section in the middle that was missing subtitles, perhaps due to a problem with the subtitle group, and even its own English subtitles were missing.
Ye Ninglu was stunned and quickly went up to debug it, but most girls were not very good at using computers, so she tried several times but couldn't get it right.
Ye Zihao began to express his opinions in a low voice again: "Sister... let's watch Iron Man..."
Ye Ninglu turned around, looked at Li Chenghuan helplessly, and said, "How about... let's change to another movie?"
At this time, Li Chenghuan saw the turning point of the plot and wanted to continue watching. He hesitated and said, "Well, do you also want to watch Iron Man?"
Ye Ninglu blinked her eyes and subconsciously blurted out: "How is that possible?" Then she looked at the screen: "There are no subtitles..."
Li Chenghuan said: "That doesn't matter. I'll translate this paragraph for you."
Ye Ninglu was stunned for a moment, "Can you translate?"
Li Chenghuan smiled: "Let's try it..."
Ye Ninglu looked at Li Chenghuan with a strange look, then whispered "Oh" and clicked play.
The lines were in English, but the dialogue was not very frequent. Li Chenghuan slowly explained what the characters in the play said. Ye Ninglu looked at Li Chenghuan from time to time, with more surprise and curiosity in her eyes.
It’s just that there wasn’t enough time to finish watching the movie, so grandma downstairs invited them to dinner.
Ye Ninglu clicked to pause the movie and couldn't help but ask: "Chenghuan, how did you learn English?"
Ye Zihao also said with admiration: "Brother, you are so awesome! You are even better than my sister!"
Now I have another source of material to brag about when I go to school tomorrow.
Li Chenghuan smiled casually, "Well, just listen more and read more."
Several people stood up. Ye Ninglu looked at Li Chenghuan thoughtfully and said, "You are really different from other primary school students. To be honest, I believe you when you say you are a second-year junior high school student, no matter how you speak or how you look."
Li Chenghuan smiled hoarsely: "Really..."
The three of them went downstairs.
How can the two old men downstairs wait for the fish to be served? They both drank half a bottle of Wuliangye with peanuts, and started bragging about the past, one voice louder than the other.
Although they always hurt each other, it was obvious that the relationship between the two was very good. Ye Kai became excited and pointed at Li Chenghuan and said: "Chenghuan, is this your first time as a guest at Grandpa Ye's house? This is all strange. Your grandpa, even if he has become familiar with the door this time, he will come over to play often in the future! Although Ninglu and you two are two years apart, Zihao and you are about the same age, so we will definitely play together, haha..."
Ye Zihao sighed and said, "The two of them can play together..."
Ye Ninglu's grandma cooked a lot of delicious food. In addition to cooking the two precious fishes that Ye Kai caught, she also cooked many dishes.
It was the first time for Li Chenghuan to be a guest at someone else's house. Naturally, he couldn't eat as much as he wanted regardless of his image. He stopped using his chopsticks early. The two old men were still bragging, so he found an excuse and walked outside to the yard. Blow dry.
Ye Ninglu also came out after a while. She walked to Li Chenghuan very naturally, looked at the tree in front of her, and asked, "Do you like watching movies?"
Li Chenghuan nodded: "Not bad."
"Don't like watching Iron Man?"
"I like movies with a sense of life."
"Heh..." Ye Ninglu's expression was a little weird. After all, anyone who hears a primary school student say "I like movies with a sense of life" would feel weird.
But Ye Ninglu was a little happy because she also liked this kind of movie.
After all, girls have to mature earlier. She likes feature films that have no conflicts and just tell stories, such as Love Letters and Tokyo Story.
Especially Tokyo Story, she has watched it many, many times, but she is still moved and overwhelmed every time she watches it.
There are too few people around who have similar tastes.
Such movies will make her feel peaceful, while people around her will think her tastes are weird, like an old woman.
Not to mention people of the same age, it is extremely difficult to find a close friend even if you are five years old.
Almost all the people she met on the Internet who had similar tastes were over 30 years old.
Ye Ninglu thought for a while and asked Li Chenghuan: "Have you seen Tokyo Story?"
Li Chenghuan smiled: "Is that a black and white movie?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Ye Ninglu's always calm face, and she nodded hurriedly: "Yeah!"
Li Chenghuan said: "Yes, I have seen it."
Ye Ninglu suddenly laughed: "You...you have actually seen this kind of movie."
Li Chenghuan also smiled: "I prefer those kind of family movies."
Ye Ninglu looked at Li Chenghuan with something indescribable in her eyes, and asked, "Where are you, my dear?"
"Hmm... I haven't seen it."
"I recommend you to watch it! If you like Tokyo Story, you will definitely like this movie. It is Ken Takakura's last movie!"
"Ha... okay, I'll go and see it."
"Do you like slow movies like this?"
"It's not slow. I like movies with delicate emotions."
"Aren't you afraid of being called sissy by others?"
"Isn't this how motherhood is reflected..."
While chatting, Ye Ninglu even forgot that the other party was a primary school student. At some point, she suddenly thought about it and was surprised. Usually she thought boys of the same age were naive, but today she was actually talking to someone who was younger than herself. This is how a two-year-old boy talks.
Surprise, surprise...
Zi Hao sat on the threshold, frowning and looking at his sister who was chattering non-stop.
Ye Zihao was a little aggrieved. He still wanted to have a good relationship with his elder brother Li Chenghuan.
"I've never seen her chatting so well with anyone..."
