Genshin WQ: the alpaca quest.
#NatlanChineseStudy
瓦达娜 Wǎdánà: Wactana
半熟蛋: bànshúdàn: Half-cooked Egg (Wactana’s Yumakasaur)
绵驮兽 mián tuóshòu: alpaca (in Genshin)
This whole dialogue was easy and the quest so wholesome! One of my favourite things so far. I’ll just note a couple of passages that were a bit more difficult than the rest.
Wactana says that, for Half-cooked Egg, we are 浑身散发出强敌气息的危险人物.
浑身 húnshēn: from head to foot
散发 sànfā: diffuse, emit, give out
强敌 qiángdí: formidable opponent
气息 qìxī: flavour, smell
> A dangerous person whose whole body emits the smell of a formidable opponent.
Paimon thought that the alpaca was attacked 袭击 xíjī (make a surprise attack on).
About alpaca and saurian friendship, Wactana says:
被绵驮兽簇拥着的顽皮小嵴锋龙,光是看着这样的场景我就能吃下三碗火焰炖肉⋯
簇拥 cùyōng: cluster round, escort
顽皮 wánpí: naughty, mischievous
火焰炖肉 huǒyàn dùnròu: flame + stewed meat: Blazed Meat Stew.
The little mischievous tepetlisaur being surrounded by alpacas… just by watching this scene I would be able to eat three bowls of blazed meat stew. (What?)
(I just checked the translation for this one: “Me, I could chow down on three bowls of Blazed Meat Stew before I got bored of it.” Haha, it makes sense now!)
Also, this scene was just too cute not to draw!
