Esteban_ a écrit :Can we have a little translation in English? plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Hi Esteban_ all all english speaking friends,
As promised, you will find below a complete translation of the episode.
The translation is not perfect (I've done it quickly), the "oh", "ah"... have not been translated, but this should be sufficient to understand all the dialogues. Please let me know if there is anything you don't understand.
Cheers
Teacher: Buddha stayed 29 long years in the family palace. Then he travelled so much. It was to understand the world surrounding him… Buddha’s life does not seem to interest your highness. Would another subject be eligible to awake your interest?
Prince: You know very well what could awake my interest.
Teacher: Your highness… We have already discussed this. It would be way too risky for you to get out the Forbidden City. Your life could be threatened.
Prince: But I too want to travel like Buddha to understand the world surrounding me! Isn’t it my duty as a Prince? … With your help I could get out quietly, only for a few hours, without anybody noticing it!
Teacher: But what if his majesty the emperor came to know about it ? He would have me beheaded!
Prince: I will get out - with or without your help.
Mendoza: Who tells you that these monks will accept to help us?
Ambrosius: It so happens that these Taoist monks are alchemists, like me. And everywhere in the world, alchemists help each other.
Ambrosius: Good morning, alchemist brother. I belong to the Order of the Hourglass. We need some information. Could you help us?
Mendoza: This fraternity among alchemist is absolutely… striking.
Zia: What could possibly the use of all these seeds?
Mei Li: This is to heal toothache; this is to sleep well; and this, for heartache; if you lose your hair, take these herbs; and if you lose your memory, hum…
Sancho & Pedro: A DRAGON !!!!
Mei Li: Come and see! The Dragon holders are practicing for tomorrow!
Mei Li: This is the Dragon of jade, which protects our rice plantations.
Pedro: Yes, of course! Dragons don’t exist !
Sancho: And even if they existed, they wouldn’t scare us!
Mei Li: Don’t panic! There are only a few firecrackers!
Tao: I have understood! It works with powder! This is very smart!
Meil Li: Moreover, firecrackers make bad spirit run away. Do you want to try? … You have until tomorrow to practice.
Zia: Tell me, Mei Li… is this a temple?
Mei Li: Yes… you know here, there are hundreds of temples!
Esteban, Zia, Tao: hundreds??
Zia: And do you know a temple which is related to this symbol?
Meil Li: This is the symbol of the Renaissance temple. Do you want to see it?... Come!
Sancho and Pedro: These are hot peppers!!
Ambrosius: Good morning, Alchemist brother. I belong to the Order of the Hourglass. We need some information. Could you help….
Pedro: I feel better! Hey, they don’t need our help to find the Golden Dragon! it is thanks to us that they will find the temple in the first place…
Sancho: Cheers to the Golden Dragon!
Pedro: to the Golden Dragon!
Mei Li: Here it is: the Renaissance temple. I need to go. Shall we meet again here tomorrow?
Esteban: Agreed. Thank you for your help, Mei Li!
Esteban: Good morning. We are looking for a…
Monk: Sorry. We don’t receive strangers.
Tao: Hey, wait! We don’t want to make troubles! All we ask is…
Monk: Don’t you want to move?
Master: What’s the matter? Why all this agitation?
Monk: Master, these are strangers who want to come in.
Esteban: Good morning. We just would like to know if you heard about a Golden Dragon.
Master: Please come in.
Master: Please be welcomed in the Renaissance temple. My name is Yu Choon Hei (?).
Esteban: My name is Esteban. And here is Tao and Zia.
Ambrosius: Good morning, Alchemist brother. Do you know a temple which would be related to this symbol?
Monk: Of course. This is the Renaissance temple. Come. I will take you there.
Master: Zia, Esteban. Before we talk about the Golden Dragon, I would like that each of you chose one of these jars.
Esteban: What do you mean? Any of them? but they are all the same…
Tao: What’s this?
Master: Tao, come with me. Take your time… let your intuition speak.
Zia: This one.
Esteban: hum… and for me… this one.
Master: Let’s see what contain those jars which you have not chosen.
Tao: Amazing! You chose those which contain flowers!
Master: These are lotus flowers, symbols of purity.
Zia: How is it possible?
Esteban: This is luck…
Master: No, Esteban. This is neither luck nor chance.
Monk: Master… Two strangers from the brotherhood of the Hourglass are seeking audience.
Esteban: These are Ambrosius and Mendoza.
Mendoza: Children!
Tao: Well, you took a lot of time!
Ambrosius: But.. .how did you get here?
Mendoza: And where are Sancho and Pedro?
Master: It is time to change the water of our venerable Lady.
Master: This carp is our oldest guest. Some claim that she is more than 120 years old.
Master: This passage has been build six centuries ago, when our brotherhood inherited the heavy task of protecting the Yellow Dragon.
Esteban: Let’s go and see!
Master: Only the holders of the medallion are authorized to go down in the passage.
Tao: It is always the same thing!
Mendoza: It would still more prudent that an adult accompanies them.
Master: Sorry. This is impossible.
Ambrosius: Take this. This lamp will certainly be useful to you.
Esteban: Thank you!
Tao: Wait!
Tao: You didn’t think that I would stay, with my arm crossed, and wait for you?
Esteban and Zia: Tao!
Tao: So, shall we go?
Esteban: That’s strange… there is nothing is this room.
Tao: There must be somewhere a mechanism that will trigger the opening. There is always a mechanism!
Tao: What did I say!
Tao: What is this? Did you hear?
Esteban: We have to find the way out! And quickly!
Zia: There may be something on one of the walls.
Tao: I can’t find anything!
Esteban: Neither can I! Down there, on the floor! We haven’t looked!
Esteban: Zia, Tao, are you all right?
Zia: Yes, yes, all right.
Tao: I am sorry… I think it is because of me that the trap triggered itself.
Esteban: Do you think all this happened because there were three of us?
Zia: The monks certainly installed this system to prevent the Yellow Dragon from being stolen.
Tao: In any case, my people would never have invented such a trap!
Esteban: Come on, never mind, Tao. We made it! And we even opened the secret passage!
Esteban: Oh… Look!
Tao: Ah yes!
Esteban: So that the fire of the Dragon shows the way…
Zia: Wasn’t it what the message of the sacred drum said? But how to find the way?
Tao: He… Do you think this Dragon is really big?
Esteban, Zia, Tao: Wov… magnificent!
Tao: This Dragon is not yellow…
Esteban: What is this?
Tao: Incense sticks? But what is this doing here?
Zia: Look here… there is a casket!
Esteban: It doesn’t pass…
Tao: Ah, we will have to think well once again to make him loosen his teeth…
Zia: I think I’ve found it!
Zia: You see? This is the only drawing where the dragon’s mouth is open. And… he has smoke in his nostrils!
Master: Thank….. You!!
Esteban: We just have to put our arms in his jaw to get the casket. The honor is yours!
Tao: huh… I made enough catastrophes for today.
Tao: Well done!
Tao: This Yellow Dragon is not that big, finally…
Zia: Little Dragon, but big fear to get it!
Esteban: Well, this is time to check that the trap does not trigger itself when there are only two people.
Tao: The Yellow Dragon! We found the…. Oh….
Chief of villains: The Yellow Dragon! Thank you…
