Mets reliever Jorge Lopez said he was saying that he was the worst teammate, not that the Mets were the worst team. Something got lost in translation. The Mets had a positive day yesterday with a win over the Diamondbacks and Francisco Lindor going 4-for-4. We took some calls from disappointed Rangers fans. The Panthers seem to want the puck more in the puck battles. Jerry returns for an update, but first Boomer wonders what's going on with Darren Waller in regards to retiring or not. He put out a song yesterday that people are mocking on social media. Jerry starts with the sounds of Sam Rosen as the Rangers lose to the Panthers. The Yankees beat the Angels as Juan Soto hit a 3 run triple. The Mets beat the Diamondbacks. Harrison Bader had an interesting answer for Mount Rushmore of NY athletes. Pete Alonso doesn't know what to think of the Jorge Lopez situation. The Mavericks beat the Timberwolves and advance to the NBA finals to play the Celtics. In the final segment of the hour, Gio said somebody threw up in the bathroom sink or dumped a bowl of granola.

Does the bible call Jesus God? If so, how many times? This seems like such a straightforward question, but it’s pretty hard to answer. We’ll examine three types of texts in which Jesus might be called God, including those with manuscript issues, translation issues, and interpretation issues. In each case we’ll see that, in fact, Read more about 418 One God 8: Jesus Called God?[…]

Last time we talked about what you might call “situational context” and how that helps our understanding of the Bible. This time we will talk about translations – how they can impact our understanding. The books of the Bible were not originally written in English. The written documents of the Old Testament books were handed down through time in Hebrew language. And the New Testament books were initially written in Greek. We're not suggesting that faithful Bible students have to learn those languages. But translators do know those languages – intimately – and they take their work seriously. But they have decisions to make. Types of Translations: · Formal equivalence = word for word= English Standard Version · Closest natural equivalence / Meaning for meaning = God's Word Translation · Dynamic/functional equivalence Thought for thought / phrase for phrase = New International Version · Paraphrase/ retelling = The Message; The Living Bible Link to Episode 203: https://anchor.fm/theologyontap/episodes/Theology-On-Tap--Episode-203-Canon-and-Translations-eqatq3 Pastor Mark's 5 (hopefully) easy-to-remember categories: 1. All Scripture is inspired, inerrant word of God - not just the stuff we like. 2. All of Scripture is centered on Christ. 3. The mission of God (Missio Dei) is evident in every book of the Bible. 4. All of Scripture's passages have one of two possible messages: Law or Gospel. 5. The best way to understand how to apply that Bible to your life today is to understand what it meant to the first writers/hearers. Resources: D.A.

If Pepsi's slogan “Come Alive” can mean “Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Dead” after translation into Chinese, then there's a good chance that you'll find yourself lost in translation. We don't want that to happen, so we want to help with this podcast in the form of a Mandarin Chinese lesson on translating. Episode link: https://www.chinesepod.com/0251

What does the Bible say about homosexuality? There are many who claim that our modern translations of the Bible have inaccurate renderings of the original language in texts that discuss homosexuality. On this episode of The Debrief podcast, Pastor Matt Brown breaks down what the Bible says about homosexuality - specifically focusing on the question of translation issues. What do the original languages of these texts - Hebrew and Greek- that speak on homosexuality actually mean?

We'll use the Arlington Statement on Bible Translation to highlight some contemporary problem issues with translation and the corrective principles. We also want to urge sound churches to consider making Bible translation a priority by praying, recruiting, and sending qualified Bible translators to the harvest fields. May it be so for God's glory!

We discuss the multitude of problems in the Book of Abraham translation process and examine apologetic responses including the "missing scroll" and "long scroll" theories.

Politicians have a way of making rules for everyone else and exempting themselves.

Sometimes English words seem vague to native Chinese speakers.Most of you have learned that there is no direct translation for “yes” and “no” in Chinese. Answers to questions are given by using the verbs involved in the question. The word “available” is similar. There is no Chinese equivalent. In fact, my Chinese tutor told me it was challenging for her to understand the English word “available,” because it seems rather vague and is used in ways that don't seem connected from a Chinese viewpoint.To read more, including Chinese characters and diagrammed translations, go to:Available 有空，沒事，有錢，可以用，有賣，空缺 in Chinese

 The English phrase figure it out meansto solve, to understand, to reason outThis is consistent with the definitions of the word figure, which have to do with both to form or shape and mathematical calculations. This basic concept is still present in the Chinese vocabulary that represents this idea.The basic phrase used in Chinese is (verb) + 出來出來ㄔㄨ ㄌㄞˊ(chū lái)out come When 出來 comes after a verb, it means coming out, completion of an action, or the ability to discern or detect.For knowing how to say figure it out in Chinese, we use the definition the ability to discern or detect after a sense or thinking verb. Here are some of the common combinations: .... to read more, including Chinese characters and diagrammed translations, go to:Figure It Out 算出來，想出來 … in Chinese

Why do Chinese people choose English names?Every Chinese person I have met has had an English name. Whether they were living in Taiwan, living in the United States, or on a cruise ship, each one of them has introduced themselves by their English name. They would only tell me their Chinese name when I asked. I would try to say it, and would sometimes get it correct, but they seemed to want me to use their English name.I think this is partly because the tones are so important in Chinese. English speakers who are not fluent in Chinese almost always mangle Chinese names. This may not seem like a big deal to English speakers, ... to read more, including Chinese characters and diagrammed translations, go to:The Many Faces of Chinese Names

Understanding the Chinese pronouns that are translated to he, she, or it requires knowing a couple of things. First of all, the pronouns that mean he, she, or it in Chinese all sound the same, but have different characters.他 ㄊㄚ (tā)  “he”她 ㄊㄚ (tā)  “she”牠 ㄊㄚ (tā)  “it”它 ㄊㄚ (tā)  “it”There are two different characters meaning it, because there is one for animals and one for inanimate objects.To read more, including Chinese characters and diagrammed translations, go to:Understanding the words he 他, she 她, and it 牠 or 它 in Chinese

The use of the letter “i” in pinyin can be confusing. Pinyin is the use of the ABC's, such as is used in English, to symbolize sounds in the Chinese language. Sometimes the pinyin sounds are fairly similar to the English sounds, and sometimes they are quite different.When saying some words, the single pinyin “i” has a sound more like the traditional English long “e” pronunciation. For example,雞 ㄐㄧ  (jī)❶七 ㄑㄧ (qī)❷In other uses, the single pinyin “i” sounds more like an English short “i”. This is the case in words like是  ㄕˋ (shì)❸日  ㄖˋ (rì)❹Fortunately, there is a pattern to this ... to read more, including Chinese characters and diagrammed translations, go to: Understanding the i's in Pinyin

She says that while people would probably understand me if I used 做 ㄗㄨㄛˋ (zuò) for everything, it would not sound right to them.

I have been using bopomofo more in my Chinese learning lately. In case you haven't heard of it, it is a phonetic system for Chinese sounds that was designed to teach Chinese-speaking children how to read.I wrote a few weeks ago about how using bopomofo helps my brain switch to Chinese more thoroughly. When I posted that blog, one of my daughters sent me a link to some keyboard bopomofo stickers she had looked at. It didn't take me long to decide to buy some.To read more go to:Chinese BoPoMoFo Stickers for My Computer Keyboard 

Why I switched to bopomofoThe first year or so, I stuck to pinyin for learning about Chinese pronunciation. I made some progress, but when I moved back to the USA, I found another, local native speaking Chinese tutor. When she often lapsed into using the bopomofo phonetic representation that she had learned in grade school in Taiwan, I noticed it seemed to flip a switch in my brain. Using the bopomofo kept my brain in Chinese-mode and made me more aware of the distinct Chinese pronunciation of the sounds represented.To read more go to: A Simple BoPoMoFo Chart Helps Me Learn Chinese

This foot was apparently added, rather than lost, in the translation. In fact, the Chinese characters on the sign in question, found by someone while hiking in China and posted at engrish.com, don't say anything directly about feet. Part of the problem is that which is universal to all signs. Wording on signs is abbreviated.The literal translation of the Chinese characters on the sign is as follows... to read more, including Chinese characters and diagrammed translations, go to:The Dangerous Missing Foot 危險走失的腳丫子 in Chinese 

As we enter a new theme month, we're talking about translation. That's translating languages and translating mediums.  Colin Williamson joined us from Seattle to discuss the process of localization. Colin used to work for Square Enix as a localization expert back in the mid-2000s, and helped retranslate some of the oldest Final Fantasy games, even going back and correcting the work of industry legend, Ted Woolsey. Download Here. Subscribe on iTunes. Subscribe on Stitcher. Woolsey's work was flawed, though not for a lack of style. He did the translations largely on his own, couldn't communicate often with the design team, and had crazy deadlines to finish them. Colin meanwhile worked in a team, not too far from where the actual designers worked, and he started the translations while the game was still under development. Those circumstances also helped him codify all the language currently used in Final Fantasy games, like "Phoenix Down" over "Phoenix Feather." A lot has changed since Woolsey worked for Square, and Colin tells us all about it, starting 21:30. **Want to learn more about the history of Final Fantasy? Check out our 1, 2, 3 part history specials. ** Colin also gave us a couple games that are particularly great examples of localizations. For our own list, take a look at our primer.  On May 8 and 10 we visited the Bento Miso for Comics vs Games and the Bit Bazaar to talk 3D, VR, books and board games. Comics vs Games is a yearly event in Toronto where comic artists team up with game designers to create a video game. This year, the theme was 3D, leading to the virtual reality games Altar and Libraria. Altar, created by designer Daniele Hopkins and artist Gillian Blekkenhorst, allows you to briefly walk around the ruins of an alien civilization. While designer Kyle Dwyer and artist Adam Hines teamed up for the pop-up book adventure game, Libraria.  (All photos from Attract Mode's 3D gallery. Clay models were all done by Ventla are long forgotten Nintendo characters that we can't name. The two prints are meant to be 3D with red/blue glasses. If you have 'em, try 'em.) Each round of Comics vs Games is accompanied by a gallery curated by the fellows at Attract Mode, a video game art collective. This year they held a 3D gallery containing a selection of three dimensional 2D art, presented with old school red and blue glasses. We talked to Matt Hawkins, a long time member of Attract Mode about why they collect video game fanart, and some of beautiful renditions of Dark Souls and Year Walk, amongst numerous other games. You can hear from him, Gillian and Kyle starting 35:00. Then at the Bit Bazaar we checked in with Conor McCreery and Elizabeth Simins on the other ways one can turn a book into a game, or vice versa. Welcome to the Bit Bazaar at the Bento Miso on May 10. Mare Shepard shows off N++ right next to the entrance. Emily Carroll and Damian Sommer talk about their development process on the Yawhg, one of the first Comics vs Games projects. Vagabond Dog's Jake Reardon shows off Always Sometimes Monsters at his booth at the Bit Bazaar Some wares, images, zines, and postcards for sale at the Bit Bazaar. A volunteer from Snakes and Lattes shows off a version of the Machine of Death card game, based on Ryan North's anthology book of the same name.  There's not just games for sale at the Bit Bazaar. You can get rare chocolates, cider, and sometimes pies on the top floor of the Bento Miso. Conor McCreery was at the Bit Bazaar, a sort-of independent video game flee market, to show off the new prototype of the upcoming Kill Shakespeare board game. Conor is one of the creators of Kill Shakespeare, a comic where all of Shakespeare's works exist in the same universe. Imagine the Marvel comic book universe, but for Hamlet and Othello. With those sorts of mashups already on the table, their publisher,IDW, invited them to turn the three-volume comic into a board game. Conor tells us about how the game works, how they got involved, and why a Kickstarter does more than raise thousands of dollars. You can hear all about it, starting 51:30. The prototype version of the Kill Shakespeare board game at the Bit Bazaar.  Meanwhile, Elizabeth Simins talked about the power of video game zines at one of the panels at the Bit Bazaar. Elizabeth, an artist who occasionally does a comic for Kotaku with journalist Cara Ellison, told us about zine's appeal and their utility. For those who don't know, a zine is like a small handcrafted magazine made by only a few people. Elizabeth loves their physicality and so do the people who buy them from her, although she admits she probably won't get rich off a zine. Still, they enable her to discuss things like misogyny in games, like in "Ain't No Such Thing as Misogyny." If you'd like to hear more about video games zines, and a few of Simins projects, take a listen at 51:30.
