Honest Trailer: THOR 電影老實說 :《雷神索爾》

Honest Trailer: THOR  電影老實說 :《雷神索爾》
Sabrina Wong

I am a huge fan of Hero movies and I sometimes go to Youtube to see some movie trailers, which are supposed to give you a brief introduction about the movie. Hoever, this time is Honest trailer! This series of trailers contain spoilers and its purpose is to provide audience a review of the moives. They are funny and hilarious as they point out the unreasonable flaws and bugs in the movie.

This time, it's the Honeast trailer of THOR.


It is not the orignial version but the Chinese version of the Hontest Trailer. Now let's take a look at the bilingual features in the trailer.

The speech community:
The chinese version is for Chinese user, especailly Taiwanese according to the words choice. English speaker could still be the audience but not targeted as they do not have need of using the chinese subtitle.

Societal bilingualism:
The language used in the trailer is for the language society. The producer translated English into Chinese is for chinese users.

Citizen readership:
The trailer is posted in the public video sharing platform and is free of charge. The readers are expected to be citizens rather than comsumers as the video is not advertising for any product.

Minimal bilingualism:

Most of th text is in Chinese with only a few exceptions. For example, CGI is kept in English . It stands for Computer-gererated imagery and can be translated as 電腦合成影像.  

Hobbyist producer:
The producer of the Chinese version is a hobbyist creator as he is not sponsored and supported by comanies. He could only use his own resources to do the translation.

Hope you enjoy the trailer!

Visit Serbia (South Eastern Europe)

As the most of you know I am from Switzerland, but what the most of you don't know that my parents are originally from Serbia. In fact of that, I want to take the opportunity to promote one of my two home countries, Serbia.

Serbia is located in South-Eastern of Europe. It is the only country in World which is using two different script, namely Latin and Cyrillic script. Serbia is the perfect mix of West and East Europe.
You can find the typical Western Europe buildings as well as beautiful churches, which are famous in Eastern Europe.

Here a short video about the capital city of Serbia, Belgrade (9min) :


Also good way to know Serbia is through food (4:13 min) :



PS: Novak Djokovic, the famous tennis player, and a lot of other famous athletes are from Serbia.

See you in Serbia!

海洋生物的將來The future of the marine organisms

Hi I am Yobi.
最近有一宗關於海洋生物的新聞事件引起人們的熱烈討論。


【太陽報專訊】海洋公園六條雌性鎚頭鯊,短短八小時內接連離奇猝死該批被國際自然保育聯盟(International Union for Conservation of Nature <IUCN>)紅色名錄列為瀕危物種(endangered species)的鎚頭鯊(hammerhead shark),昨晨在「海洋奇觀」水族館游姿異常,隔離治療後不久就陸續猝死,疑是感染死亡率奇高的怪病。園方指館內其他海洋生物無異常,該批鎚頭鯊前日仍然很健康,園方對事件大惑不解,需進一步解剖調查。現時館內幸存的八條鎚頭鯊仍在海洋奇觀,性命危在旦夕。有專家指,以往海豚、海獅感染惡菌死亡多在夏季,今次情況有別往常。

[2008,中央政府向海洋公園贈送五條有「水中大熊貓」之稱的中華鱘一條屬國家一級保護及瀕危動物的「中華鱘」不足三日遭俗稱海狼的梭子魚噬殺,園方其後才「醒覺」將中華鱘及海狼分隔其後再有兩條因不適應海水飼養而死亡,其餘七條中華鱘被迫要回鄉「休養」令園方飼養動物的能力備受質疑。此外,不少保育團體批評新水族館「海洋奇觀」飼養多種魚類,擔心部分魚類會因「困獸鬥」而自傷殘殺]

海洋公園一直本著愛護地球、愛護大自然的宗旨達到保育和教育的目的,又屢獲國際殊榮可是其處理海洋生物的手法實在受到各方爭議
The aim of Ocean Park.海洋公園的宗旨
我認為無論海洋公園我們自身都應該海洋物的死亡負上責任。
對於海洋公園,它不應該假借保育名義,實只為牟利例如園方為「搞噱頭」,舉辦遊客潛水與鎚頭鯊等海洋生物共游的活動,嚴重干擾魚類在水族館生活曾經看過一宗新聞,海洋公園為了賺取更多金錢,特意增加海豚的表現次數和時間,甚至讓一些海豚生病離譜的是,園方辯稱海豚可“按其意願”自由參與表演,這是極度荒謬和令人不能接受的。海洋公園應好好反省他們對待海洋生物的方式。究竟園方把他們當作賺錢工具,還是真誠的想保護那些瀕危物種?
The performance of the dolphins attracts hundreds of people.海豚表演吸引數以百計的觀眾
於我們,我們都應海洋負責任,因為我們生活在同一世界。我們不應該繼續支持和容忍那些危害海洋的人組織。我們能做的其實有很多,如多留意有關危害海洋生物的新聞或是拒絕進食魚為海洋生物應有的權利。
Stop eating shark fin.拒絕進食魚

海洋生物的未來,就掌握在我們手中。

Justin Bieber 嫖妓?

HI I AM MILLER!!!!
This is a scandal about Justin Bieber!
Blame it on Rio!
Justin Bieber tried to sneak out of a brothel in Brazil while covered in a sheet Friday — but photographers caught him red-handed.
The 19-year-old pop star and a friend spent more than three hours in the popular whorehouse Centauros in Rio de Janeiro — before leaving with two women, sources said.
He jumped into the back seat of a car while the women, who covered their faces, were put in SUVs and escorted back to his hotel.
Bieber’s security team covered him with a bedsheet bearing the sex den’s logo as he walked out of the establishment — and one of his handlers sprayed photographers with water, demanding they stop snapping, sources said.
The fotogs, who had been tipped off about Bieber’s visit to the whorehouse, confirmed it was the singer through his security team.
The Biebs was also identified by his gray wraparound wrist tattoo, which is visible in some photos, and his signature sneakers, sources said.
Bieber was later kicked out of the hotel for breaking rules, the Brazilian news Web site EGO reported. But another source insisted that Bieber left because hordes of fans mobbed the place, a creating a “security issue.’’
Sources at the hotel claimed he and his crew had for days been partying, doing drugs and disturbing people, according to EGO.
The singer, who had been staying at the upscale Copacabana Palace hotel in southern Rio, moved his entourage to a rented mansion in a gated community, the site ¬reported.
A spokesman for Bieber declined comment.
Bieber’s trip to the brothel comes after he allegedly spent the night with a hooker in Panama last week, the Panamanian newspaper Cronicas reported.
A prostitute told the paper that Biebs paid her $500 for sex after the two met at a nightclub in Panama City.
He took her back to his hotel room and the two smoked weed, she told the paper. After the sex, he returned her to the club, where she met back up with friends, she said.
Fans slammed the star via Twitter on Saturday, saying he’s too caught up in partying and sex.
“Justin bieber has officially lost it,” tweeted @Nessa1Glee.
Said @zeenieinabottle: “Don’t wanna hear him, see him, nothing. So done. This is absolutely disgusting.”
The singer also took to Twitter, denying he hired hookers.
“Please stop believing rumors, they are just that. bs rumors, getting tired of it, no truth to them. moving on now. seriously moving on,’’ he tweeted.

小Justin召妓笠頭帶女走

45,280
加拿大小天王Justin Bieber上月尾被爆在巴拿馬召妓後,他前日在巴西里約熱內盧再次召妓斷正!他當時被影到在當地一間妓院逗留超過三小時後離開,不過就被保安人員用毛巾笠頭上車走,有眼利網民認得出小Justin的紋身。小Justin上車後,有兩名女子上了另外一輛車,一同駛向小Justin下榻的酒店。小Justin最後因被指涉吸毒等不當行為而被酒店踢走。
From the above news, i found that the apple daily traslates this scandal all when keeping the person name (Justin Bieber) unchanged.
So, it seems the media would like to keep the name of famous and popular entertainer unchanged while they will change the political people. It's a habit.
Thanks for watching, Bye. Miller
