Entertaining Children

Chapter 7 I Didn't Expect You to Be Such Xiao Yao

Later, Wang Ruiqi couldn't help shaking her head following Xiao Yao in the video just like Jin Siyu. So she and Jin Siyu basically followed Xiao Yao in the video all the way and watched the whole video with a smile and shaking his head.

As soon as the video ended, Jin Siyu smiled excitedly and said, "Xiao Yao can write English songs. He is really talented. Moreover, this song is both fun and written in my heart. I am just like him recently, and I am very happy. I want to stay at home and do nothing."

Wang Ruiqi, who had exactly the same feeling, nodded with a smile, this song was written in her heart.

Seeing Wang Ruiqi nodding with a smile, Jin Siyu frowned again and said, "However, there is a line in it that I didn't understand. What does Strutinmybirthdaysuit mean? Does birthdaysuit mean birthday suit? Birthday suit refers to the one you wear on your birthday. Is it a more formal and gorgeous dress? But why is he wearing a birthday suit? It obviously doesn't match the lyrics of the whole song."

The video posted by Xiao Yao is a song in English, but the words in it are not particularly uncommon and difficult to understand. In addition, Xiao Yao’s pronunciation is very standard, and Jin Siyu, who is already in his junior year, basically understands everything...except What she asked Wang Ruiqi.

"This..." Wang Ruiqi's complexion was a bit strange, and finally she whispered in her ear: "It means naked, without any clothes on."

"Ah?!" Jin Siyu exclaimed, "Then what Xiao Yao meant was when he was at home..." Jin Siyu couldn't continue, and at the same time, the brain holes of the two of them were also opened.

In today's society, there are quite a few young people like Wang Ruiqi wandering and working hard in other places. After finally waiting for the Spring Festival holiday to go home, the general feeling is that going home for the New Year is more tiring than working in the company. Therefore, when Xiao Yao released the video of this song on the fifth day of the first lunar month, many young people felt the same way. They wanted to throw their mobile phones aside, lie on the bed and do nothing, and take a good rest like Xiao Yao sang. The song spread quickly.

Suddenly, Xiao Yao's Weibo video was forwarded and commented by countless people.

"This song really hits people's hearts. The Chinese New Year is really tiring, and I feel even more tired when I think about going to work after the Chinese New Year. I really want to lie in bed and do nothing like what you sang, Xiao Yao. "

"I really want to lie on the bed like in the song, without going out, doing things, or answering the phone, but I'm still willing to play with the phone."

"Xiaoyao paralyzed with lazy songs, this is laziness out of the realm. Some time ago, I saw the people in the crew of "Ling Yunzhi" comment on you at the Feitian Awards, and I always thought that Xiao Yao, you are a person who works hard and never relaxes for a moment. Well, I didn't expect you to have such a lazy side. But you can be lazy and come up with a song with all English lyrics, it's really lazy and lazy."

"People are too lazy to write and sing, Xiao Yao, you are too lazy to write and sing!"

From the release of the video on the fifth day of the first lunar month to the seventh day of the first month when most of the employees of the company started to go to work, in just two days, Xiao Yao's Weibo had more than 10,000 retweets and more than 3,000 comments.

#肖遥兴发歌# was on Weibo’s hot topic list. On major search websites, "Xiao Yao", "Lazy Song", and "thelazysong" have also become very popular keywords.

Soon, various entertainment media began to follow up and report on the popularity of the song. A video that Xiao Yao recorded by himself playing and singing also began to appear in the entertainment news of various TV stations.

Lying on the sofa and singing a song casually, recording a video and posting it on Weibo can become a hot topic. The media don't know whether to lament Xiao Yao's popularity or Xiao Yao's talent.

Of course, some media pointed out that the reason why Xiao Yao's "Lazy Song" became popular is also related to the time when he released it.

"The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival for Chinese people. It is indeed a rare day for family reunion to go home for the New Year.

But today's young people, especially those who work hard outside, feel more and more that Chinese New Year is a very tiring thing.

New Year's greetings, visiting relatives and friends, even a family of relatives cannot be left behind. This makes many office workers who have worked hard for a year very helpless. What they think may be just like the song sings, to lie on the bed and do nothing and have a good rest. And Xiao Yao's song appeared at this time, as if it expressed the aspirations of many young people. So it's no surprise that everyone loves this song so much. "A certain entertainment media commented.

This kind of comment can be regarded as the root cause of the short-term explosion of this song. Therefore, similar sayings began to spread, but the rumors that were passed on, somehow began to change. It was originally a fun song that I sang, but it gradually became Xiao Yao's complaints about the Spring Festival tradition.

"I just can't understand the young people nowadays. It's a good traditional Chinese festival, but I remember those foreign festivals in the West. What about Christmas and Halloween? They are more active than China's Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. Now even the most important Spring Festival Complained. I said I was tired, and I wanted to lie in bed and do nothing. What’s so tiring during the Chinese New Year? If you ask them to travel abroad, it’s guaranteed to run faster than a rabbit. The traditional Chinese virtues are almost lost by you. You still write this kind of song?" A well-known Weibo celebrity V posted a comment on Weibo.

Although this Weibo did not mention Xiao Yao's name, the two sentences "laying in bed and doing nothing" and "even writing songs" are obviously referring to Xiao Yao.

On Weibo, it doesn't mean that what the so-called well-known big V says will be agreed by others. Challenging authority is nothing new, especially on the Internet. Netizens will not treat you politely just because you are well-known. Therefore, as soon as this Weibo was posted, countless fans of Xiao Yao left messages and comments below.

"Maybe we like this song because we feel that the Chinese New Year is tiring. When people wrote this song, they didn't say that it was because they felt that the Chinese New Year was tiring. Besides, even if those of us who listen to the song say that the Chinese New Year is tired, is it anti-traditional? We have nothing to say. You probably haven’t experienced the hardships of snatching tickets during the Spring Festival travel season, and there may not be more than a dozen relatives who can leave in five days.”

Some of the first comments were still explaining the truth, but the latter ones were much simpler and cruder.

"Have the bloggers heard of "thelazysong"? Do you not understand English? Which sentence in this song mentions the Spring Festival? Does that sentence refer to tradition? I suggest bloggers to learn English well first."

"The blogger is English-blind, the identification is complete."

"You don't need to know English to be a public intellectual, haha."

 …

After the news of winning the Feitian Award for the best newcomer and participating in the Mathematical Olympiad winter camp training, Xiao Yao's already large number of fans has doubled. After the appearance of "Lazy Song", the number of fans has skyrocketed again. Therefore, the number of comments on this well-known Weibo is also quite large, so that there are many comments such as "I just came to see the comments".

Because there were a lot of comments on that Weibo that mocked the public who didn’t know English, and just ranted without understanding the lyrics. There were really many boring people who began to listen carefully to the lyrics of Xiao Yao’s English song, and were going to write it down. After translating into Chinese, Aite should be known, and he continued to slap his face while teaching him English.

As a result, the whole incident developed in another direction.

On the Internet, there is another topic of #办一些公知指英语歌歌歌词#. For a while, many versions of the Chinese translation lyrics of "Song of the Lazy" appeared on the Internet. Without exception, these microblogs of translated lyrics are all known by Aite.

Xiao Yao didn't respond to the well-known person's remarks from the beginning to the end. Everyone didn't even know whether he had seen the Weibo post. All the counterattacks were spontaneous from fans. Logically speaking, Xiao Yao should have nothing to do with this matter, but unexpectedly, a vigorous translation activity brought Xiao Yao into everyone's sight again.

The lyrics in the song "thelazysong" are not difficult. Basically, a high school student can complete the translation work with a dictionary. Most of the Chinese translations of the various versions on the Internet have different words and sentences, but the basic meaning is still the same...except for one sentence.

In the first few versions, strutinmybirthdaysuit was translated directly into clothes worn on the birthday. Some people who don't like the translation to be too straightforward, and like to add their own imagination to play, even translated it as "showing off in a birthday dress."

But soon, the mistake in this sentence was pointed out. In the first few translations, someone began to comment below: "strutinmybirthdaysuit is an American slang term that does not mean wearing clothes for birthday or wearing a birthday suit. Straightforward translation, this sentence means wearing Clothes for birth, not birthday clothes. People are born naked, where can they wear clothes? So this sentence means naked, naked. To translate it more popularly, it should be swaggering with bare buttocks .”

"It's not wearing a birthday dress to show off, but showing off your buttocks?" When these correctional comments came out, the majority of netizens, especially Xiao Yao's fans, were astonished.

"Check it out again!" Netizens who translated "birthday dress" dared not believe it or disbelieve it. Since the comment is said to be American slang, let's see if there is such a saying in American slang.

Those who look up books, look up dictionaries, look up information on the Internet, and those who have relatives and friends in the United States even directly contact relatives and friends to ask. Either way, it's not too much trouble. And no matter which method the result is, it turns out to be "naked buttocks" instead of "birthday dresses".

After convincing the netizens who corrected the mistakes, Xiao Yao's fans began to turn their brains on Xiao Yao.

"Could it be that Xiao Yao was really naked when he was at home?"

"Xiao Yao looks in good shape, I don't know how many abs you can see when you're naked."

All kinds of YY began to appear with brain holes, and fans who were more nympho even began to imagine some more private aspects.

And on Xiao Yao's Weibo, many fans also started to leave messages. Most of these messages are caused by the lyrics of the phrase strutinmybirthdaysuit.

Among these comments, the most powerful sentence is "I never thought you would be such Xiao Yao!"

And the sentence that appears most often is "please post photos of strutinbirthdaysuit!"

Xiao Yao's mind was full of black lines when he saw the messages asking for fruit photos. In fact, Xiao Yao didn't understand this slang term in his previous life, so he thought it meant wearing a birthday dress or paraphrasing it to show off in beautiful clothes. Although he has been to the United States in this life, none of the people he has come into contact with speaks this kind of slang in front of him. So Xiao Yao didn't know that this sentence meant bare buttocks, so he didn't modify the lyrics of Martian brother.

Under the reminder of netizens, Xiao Yao also checked, and only then did he realize that he had made a joke. But this joke is only known to him. Nowadays, everyone generally thinks that he is good at English, so he must know the true meaning of this slang, but his habits at home are a bit special. Then let everyone think that their habits are particularly good. Besides, there is a sentence of I'lljust before this, which means that I want to, and I didn't say that I am like this at home.

It is definitely impossible to post fruit photos on request. The lyrics have been sung, and the video has been released, and Xiao Yao can't explain that the living habits he wants are not as sung in that lyrics. So he could only choose to ignore those messages with red hearts in his eyes, pretending not to see them like an ostrich. Fortunately, the first semester of high school is about to start, and he has a legitimate reason to disappear from social media networks.
