The Chinese Translation for Guardians of the Milky way is HYSTERICAL

UPDATE:

This post was written before information technology came out in Mainland China since it didn't get released until some fourth dimension later. It then got posted on Reddit, and was the #5 ranking article on there. And so it began being mentioned on numerous web log sites* and now

Even the Director of Guardians of the Galaxy has coined my  English translation!!!

This is part 2 of the movie poster serial.  I've got a guilty secret to tell you all. I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy twice in ii days concluding week!

I honey all Curiosity movies, and this was probably my favourite of the bunch.  I'1000 what y'all might call a part-time geek. I grew upwardly reading Wolverine comics and playing with Spiderman toys, merely I never actually read all the hard core comics that people seem to read these days, (anything past Alan Moore/Frank Miller etc).

Anyway, I went in to the cinema knowing nothing nearly the storyline or the characters, other than what I garnered from the trailers.

Wow! What a fun movie.  It didn't take itself also seriously, each graphic symbol complimented one another, and the CGI did non distract from the plot.  It felt like a completely new movie experience, dissimilar the constant sequels that come out around summer time.  I might go as far as proverb that It felt like watching Star Wars for the kickoff time.

Anyways, enough of my amateur film reviewing. Let'due south become downwards to business. Let'southward learn some Standard mandarin.

As you lot can see from several of these names, they have simply been translated phonetically, so Groot is just gé lǔ tè. Because each graphic symbol is 1 syllable, English words ofttimes get cleaved upwards into several characters.
