How to Express these Special word of MF?
Now, the building of Translation Project is in progress! More and more document is being done. In this procedure, the translators have to face this problem, " it's so difficult to translate some special word, such as "磨房","拉磨","老驴","新驴"......"
(our slang?
)
Therefore, let's begin to discuss how to express these words with our personality and creativity:
[$nbsp][$nbsp][$nbsp]I think maybe we can invent our words, as proper noun. No direct translation!
1. 磨房
2. 拉磨
3. 老驴
4. 头驴
5. 新驴
6. 自助游
7. 驴友
8. 驴
9. 自虐
10.腐败
11.杀人
12.马甲
13.拍砖
14.攻略
15.认证头驴
16.驴友
17.....
It's difficult to translate the above words into English properly. Let me consider.
6,budget travelling
8,some guys who like travelling or outdoor activities
that`s mean 自助游 = B.T.
and i always think 磨房 = male + female = M.F.
驴: donkey
老驴: L.D (compatible chinese & english)
新驴: X.D
头驴: T.D
Like these.
that's mean:猪头=tansky=t.s?


1. 磨房 Mill \ MOFANG \ DOYOUHIKE
2. 拉磨 A grind\ trekking
3. 老驴 experienced trekkers
4. 头驴 a leading trekker\ the head trekker
5. 新驴 fresh trekkers

11.杀人 the who-kill-me game\ the who-is-the-killer game
12.马甲 a waistcoat \ a camouflage\ a disguise
13.拍砖 to brick (brick作及物动词用时正好有"批评,攻击"的意思 )
14.攻略 clues\ guidance
Personally I think this version is the best accurate and professional.
Prefer this one.

these are better. Thank you, papaya! I learned a lot from you.
Reserved, thanks.

By the way, what the "killing game" stand for?
[$nbsp][$nbsp]拉磨____go hiking
[$nbsp][$nbsp][$nbsp][$nbsp][$nbsp]驴_____donkey
[$nbsp][$nbsp]老驴_____sophisticated donkey
[$nbsp][$nbsp]新驴_____newborn donkey or newhand donkey
[$nbsp][$nbsp]头驴_____lead donkey
[$nbsp][$nbsp]认证头驴——accredited lead donkey
驴友———donkey guys
in chinese, we call ourself as 驴,in english,we call ourself as "donkey " too,
no need paraphrase.
新驴_____newborn donkey or newhand donkey
How about
新驴_____newcomer donkey
It may storng or even sophisticated at outdoor. But it don't familiar with the rule or culture of MF too much.
You r welcome to share your ideas !
"驴---backpacker, Climber, trekker" is a little bit too formal, which isn't in line with Doyouhike culture. I like the translation " 驴--donkey " by南岛北岛.
"Senior" , "Junior" are also a little bit too formal.
"老驴----aged donkey" , "新驴----newcomer donkey" are my translation. At least, I'm an aged donkey not a senior donkey.

great minds think alike
in fact, no word in english can exactly expresses the meaning of 驴 in MF,so, I would rather create a new word "LV" instead of trying to translate it.
I found an article explaining some definitions using in a forum, but it was from UT(UltraThreads), the forum code we are using
.
Please read the article and the original help document in UT.

磨房MF=Mill Forum

As my mind
1. 磨房 - MF
2. 拉磨 LM =hikking
3. 老驴- LL
4. 头驴 TL
5. 新驴 XL
6. 自助游 help-self trip
7. 驴友 LY
8. 驴 LV
9. 自虐 ZN
10.腐败 FB
11.杀人 Killing
12.马甲 MJ =turtle shell
13.拍砖 bat bric
14.攻略 tactic
[$nbsp][$nbsp]for the red word, we need not translate it as the Engilsh version, because this is MF, we have the special words in here, just like 北京,the english version is BeiJing. So, any person whoever coming here, who need know 磨坊=MF. we are lv, (it's even easy to say neddy
)
that's is easy to understand for any body.
if he like the hike, he must be like MF, like to become a lv zi.
