Beginner: That's cool.
Intermediate: Awesome.
Senior: That was pretty hardcore.
[Editor's explanation] These three statements appear in this episode. Among them, cool is "too cool" and everyone will say; awesome "very good and powerful" has been used by A Bao very frequently in the first part of "Kung Fu Panda". In this episode, the slang term hardcore appears many times, and it has a double meaning in the film. First, as an adjective alone, it is equivalent to awesome; second, if someone is said to be hardcore, it means that they are serious, tenacious, and won't give up easily, which means "tough guy". A Bao has repeatedly said that the tiger is a hardcore iron lady.
② Complaining about "tragedy" It was the worst day of my life
. By far nothing else came close. It was the worst, most painful, mind-destroyed, horrible moment I have ever experienced.
. So far, nothing to do. It was the saddest, most painful, most nerve-wracking, most terrifying moment I have ever been through.
[Editor's explanation] It was the worst day of my life. We usually talk about this layer at most. To strengthen the tone, you can also add a comparison with what happened in the past: nothing can be done. Finally, it was modified with a series of adjectives, which was so sad that I was speechless. Such an expression is enough. However, when Master said that to A Bao, it was really disrespectful!
③ Playing
jokes - I found your stupidity mildly amusing.
I think you are stupid and amusing.
- Thank you, but I found your evilness is extremely annoying
.
- Who do you think you are, panda? Who do you think you are,
you dead panda?
- Who do you think I am, peacock
?
[Editor's explanation] Respond with the same sentence pattern as the other party, and subtly replace the key words and sentences. Note that stupidity corresponds to evilness, amusing corresponds to annoying, and mildly corresponds to extremely. This bickering is so bright! Being imprisoned by a bad person can still be in the mood to play tricks with others, I am afraid it is only a dragon hero with psychological quality like A Bao, right? (Actually, it's just heartless...)
④ The best line
Your story may not have a such happy begining, but that doesn't make who you are. It is the rest of your story, who you choose to be.
The beginning of your life story may be bumpy, but that doesn't affect who you become. The key depends on your later life path, you choose how to go on.
[Editor's explanation] Maybe we still remember the sentence of Master Turtle in the first part of "Kung Fu Panda": Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present". The second goat master also moved A Bao and the audience.
⑤ Little Philosophy
- How did you find peace? I took away your parents, everything. I scared you for life. How did you find peace
? I left your parents dead and homeless. I have branded an indelible scar on your life.
- Scars heel. Scars
will heal.
- No, they don't, wounds heel
.
- Oh, yeah. What Scars do? They fade I guess
? Will it fade away?
- I don't care what
scars do.
- You should. You gotta let go that stuff from the past, cause it doesn't matter. The only thing it matters, is what you choose to be now
. Let the past go by, because it doesn't really matter. The important thing is now to choose what kind of person to be.
[Editor's explanation] The wound will always heal, and the scar will gradually fade away. It's a very good and well-placed metaphor. You should remember this vivid method when you usually express it in English. But what is even more commendable is that, in order to maintain A Bao's silly personality, even in this particularly serious and reasonable part, he still left a burden for him to play, maintaining the unity of characters, which is very good,
