“**“How to translate?
Thread Content
Just watched Phoenix TV’s aforementioned topic; generally: two meetings； The National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) – in China Daily’s translation, these are referred to as “two sessions”. But what’s most interesting is that foreigners simply use the term “lianghui” for them, and this term has even been included in certain encyclopedias; isn’t that interesting?
Hehe, foreigners sometimes just use the pinyin for these special words. For example, in the movie Kung Fu Panda, the turtle is referred to as Mr. Wugui; moreover, the term \"teacher\" is sometimes translated as \"master\", and other times it’s simply written as \"shifu\". Hehe
I saw on CCTV-10 the program Hope English doing something similar**, but this way it’s more straightforward. National People's Congress (NPC) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)
It seems that Chinese is moving towards becoming a global language; there will now be one more official language in the world
As China grows stronger, this is something that can be expected; for example, with the launch of Shenzhou 5 in 2003, the term \"taikonaut\" (Chinese astronaut) came into use… :lol
** Twin sessions: I read the beginning of the news article and felt that the translation of that magazine was quite good; I’ve always held that opinion. Lol, because when it says to attend **, it refers to participating in its respective session. I just checked, and there are indeed quite a few ways to refer to this term: **NPC+CPPCC Two Conferences (i.e., the National People’s Congress and the Chinese Political Consultative Conference) Two Congresses (i.e., the National People’s Congress and the Chinese Political Consultative Conference) This post was last edited by lihx_susan on 2009-4-9 21:29】
