BYUNGCHAN__1112: 今天也加油吧💪 好想你💛 我爱你🥺

[ENG] Today too, let’s jiayou* 💪 Miss you lots💛 I love you🥺

*t/n: jiayou is like “fighting” in korean or loosely “keep it up/good luck”

Thoughts about translating 加油 (jiā yóu)? I don’t speak Mandarin, but I've consumed enough Chinese media at this point to pick up words like 加油. I think I understand what it means, but I have zero idea how to translate it. Subtitles always translate it differently based on context. I feel I understand the meaning, but it would take a paragraph in English to explain it to someone. Wikipedia actually calls it "the hardest to translate well" to English, and I think I agree. What do you think?

hahahaha oh gosh

okay so 加油 jiayou is absolutely an idiom in the way that, say, ‘let the cat out of the bag’ is an idiom in English. There are no actual cats being let out of bags when you say that (I hope???), but we understand it, culturally, to mean that a secret has been revealed, a surprise exposed, etc etc.

so 加油 jiayou is a phrase of encouragement — you’d yell it at an athletic competition, text it in a group chat before an exam, send it to a friend before their job interview, with the general vibes of good luck!!! you got this!!!

literally, it means ‘to pour on gasoline’

because like, cars run better/faster with more gas?

hilariously, Wikipedia is informing me that this is often attributed to racing fans during the Macau Grand Prix in the 1960’s

What does jiayou mean?

jiayou/ jiāyóu (加油) is a saying of sorts… the direct translation is “to add fuel/ energy”

In context, people say it when they want to cheer someone on. Kind of like “good luck” or “you can do it” or “I believe in you”

-

I assume you’re talking about XZ’s whole thing from the recent video… the reason people are somewhat taken aback by him saying “jiayou” to that particular question is because that’s not his typical response. There are plenty of interviews where he’s been asked similar questions and he has always expanded on reasons and been supportive.

So, it was hilarious that he decided to do none of that this time around

He sounds so insincere the first time he says it too. I love it lol

translations:

“citizen producers, please take care of me!”

Really wish to stand on idol producer’s stage and say this with everyone again, but its a pity that its impossible now. I have always had a dream to be in a boy group, to become a member of china’s most outstanding boy group. Even though I know that this dream is very big and likely to be impossible, but I have always dreamt of it, and also using everything to rush forward to achieve this dream.

December of 2017, an early morning of a certain day, our manager sent us a weibo notification to tell us that we passed the interview, I immediately jumped up and became high until i exploded, and couldn’t calm down for half the day ( still thinking why the program notified us in the middle of the night, it was only until I came in that I realised that the crew doesn’t need sleep ). Other than feeling happiness, I also told myself: This is a program that I was anticipating, a stage that i was looking forward to, a chance that I was waiting for… Anyways, gathering all of my anticipation, I ! Will definetely! Grab hold of this chance! i went to the program with my group mates yang feitong, chen minghao, zhang dayuan, wang zihao. Because I was the oldest among the 5, I became the leader of this small group. I wanted to walking to the end with my younger brothers.

After much discussion, we decided to go with《立》as our performance song because this song can represent our attitude. We hoped that we can achieve a stage that is “able to support both earth and heaven”. I want to thank long fei ge here for taking time out of his busy schedule to teach us his song and impart his experiences to us. With a seniors power, we will work hard !

After entering the program, we were faced with our first mission which was the “theme song evaluations” and “theme song stage”.  At this stage I really blamed myself, if i had done better and nagged more, if I had used more time to help minghao and dayuan practice, then all of us could have stood on the stage, and wouldn’t have left 2 people behind. When we were interviewed, i asked if I was disappointed that my company mates couldn’t stand on stage. I can’t really remember what I said then, but I only remember that it was the first time I cried in the show, because I saw minghao and dayuan’s expression and understood their helplessness and sadness then.

At the “theme song” stage, I was in a different section from feitong, but our positions were near each other. when feitong came on stage, he happily shouted “yilong, yilong, I’m standing here!” I immediately replied feitong saying “wah, we aren’t standing too behing, we would have screentime, lets dance properly” we laughed together, but when I turned my head around to look at feitong the second time, their positions had changed and feitong was moved to the last place of that sector. during the break I walked over to find feitong, he had lost his smile and said that he lost his screentime. I felt awful in my heart and wasn’t sure what to say. I lied to him saying “ no, I just now saw that there was a camera pointing at you, it was your solo screentime, it looks very good. when you jumped, it can be seen”, when feitong heard it, he finally smiled and asked if it was true and I said that it was. But when the program aired, my lie was exposed. However, I don’t regret that lie, feitong is my didi, his sadness is the same as my sadness. My feitong didn’t disappoint me, “3-octaves tong” is the real you, it will definitely shine.

On the first stage evaluations, very luckily I was chosen in zhang PD’s song shake, it helped me met zhengzheng (luo zheng), dongdong and zhexiang. The first time I worked closely with unfamiliar members. In the program, this was the first stage and the first time I became a leader, even dongdong said that he did not expect me to be such a strict person. I really have to perform well, I want to experience the charms of being in a boy group. When I stood on stage and the lights shone on me, it felt like all the efforts and hard work i put in was worth it. I only wish to stand there and show the best performance to everyone, i hope that the first stage i show can recieve recognition. “shake that thing”!

The second stage evaluations, I got flow. Honestly, initially when all the songs were introduced, I didn’t want this song the most. Since I didn’t have a choice anymore, I have to finish this song properly, although our group only had 4 people, everyone worked very hard, we barely had any sleep during the practice. Because 4 of us had low ranks, we had to work harder to be noticed. A regretful thing still happened, the night before the performance during rehearsal, yunyi hurt his eyes and couldn’t perform anymore. Because of the sudden change, everyone became flustered and didn’t know what to do, in my mind i kept thinking that we were “finished”. 2 hours before the stage, 3 of us have to re distribute parts and change to dance position. Although we don’t know what else we have to face, we only said work hard and we can do it, but deep down it really felt uncertain. On stage, I really tried to smile, but when we went down from the stage, my eyes became filled with tears because I knew I had let down the stage, the meaning behind the numbers “237256” that you guys said. The show didn’t air my apology, so I will write it here.

Also, I didn’t manage to participate in 《Boom Boom Boom》 but i’m still grateful to the citizen producers who chose the song that I really like. When I got this song, i said that it would be my main song because our team name was “zoom zoom zoom”. Also want to specially thank lei zi (song yanlei) for picking me to be that lucky trainee, although I didn’t managed to finish the performance, but I hope if there was a chance i want to perform it for you guys.

Thanks to zhang pd, mentor li ronghao, mentor zhou jieqing, mentor cheng xiao, mentor jackson and mentor mcjin, for imparting to us all your experiences, its very valuable and unforgettable, we gained a lot. Thanks to all the crew, its onle because of the effort that you put in that we are able to have a beautiful stage! thanks to summerstar, my parents and my siblings. Thanks my brothers, there are too many people that I want to point out, so I won’t point out one by one.  brothers, forever!

During the eliminated stage, I was thinking if I should give up my dream of being in a boy group, or if i’m lacking luck, if i’m getting too old and should find other things to do… but justin’s words snapped me out of it. If I have a dream, we have to work hard to get it, that way I’ll always move forward!

I think, the harder you work, the luckier you are, although sometimes the sweat you put it will lose to luck, in that cause we have to put in more efforts to make up for my bad luck. Opportunities will only come to those who are prepared, I want to continue preparing!

grateful to my fans for supporting me and voting for me. The reason I am able to stand on stage was because of the motivation and power that you guys gave me. Really thankful for your hard work and effort you put in and every scream that you gave me. In the future, i hope that you guys can continue to follow me, I will definitely show you a better side of me, a better stage, so that more of you guys can notice.

Lastly, summerstar’s last trainee yang feitong !!! my feitong !!! You are the reason for our survival !! Right now I am a citizen producer helping to promote you !!! yang feitong!! jiayou!!! Yang feitong!!! stand up!!!

I hope everyone will still remember me who is “outside of the palace”, summerstar trainee, wang yilong.

*Boleh percaya, boleh tidak.* 請把這文章看完，好運會當頭喔！信不信由您！祝您好運！ Bacalah artikel di bawah ini sampai selesai, keberuntungan akan datang. Percaya atau tidak terserah anda. Good luck! 一隻狐狸發現一雞窩，卻因為太胖攢不進柵欄。於是餓了三天，終於進入。可是飽餐後又出不去了，只好重新餓了三天才出去。最後它哀歎自己，在這個過程中除了過了個嘴癮，基本上是白忙一場了。 Seekor rubah menemukan kandang ayam, akan tetapi krn tralu gendut jd tak dpt masuk. Jd dia puasalah 3 hari, stelah itu barulah dapat masuk k dlm kandang ayam. Akan tetapi stelah makan sampai kenyang si rubah tidak dpt keluar dr kandang, jd puasa lagi 3 hari baru dpt kluar. Terakhir dia meratapi diri sendiri , karena ketamakannya apa yang diusahakannya dari awal sampai akhir semuanya hanyalah sia2. 人生何嚐不是如此啊。赤裸裸來，赤條條走，無人能帶走一生經營的財富與盛名。用青春賺的錢，難以買回青春；用生命賺錢，難以買回生命；用幸福換來的錢，難以換回幸福；用時間掙來的錢，難以掙回時間。即使用一生得到全世界的錢，全世界的錢也買不回自己的ㄧ生。 Bukankah hidup manusia juga seperti itu? Kita datang telanjang bulat, pergi bukankah juga begitu? Tidak ada satupun orang yang meninggal bisa membawa mati segala kekayaan, reputasi yang kita punya di dunia. Menggunakan masa muda kita untuk mencari uang dengan susah payah, akan tetapi uang tersebut tidak bs digunakan untuk membeli masa muda; menggunakan kebahagiaan yg kita miliki untuk mendapatkan uang, akan tetapi tidak bs digunakan untuk membeli kebahagiaan; menggunakan waktu yang kita punya untuk mencari uang, akan tetapi uang tidak bisa digunakan untuk membeli waktu;Meskipun kita menggunakan seumur hidup kita untuk mendapatkan uang , akan tetapi uang tidak bisa membeli seumur hidup kita. 所以該工作時且工作，該休息時且休息，愉快工作，享受生活 ，珍惜所擁有的，愛你所愛的，開心過好每一天。 Jadi kapan waktunya bekerja ya bekerja, kalau sudah waktu istirahat ya istirahato, bekerja dengan hati gembira, sambil menikmati hidup, hargailah semua yang kalian punya, cintailah yang kalian cinta, melewati hari hari dengan gembira. 房子再貴，你睡的只是一張床。車子再好，超速還是要吃罰單。 包包再貴，也只比塑料袋多一個炫富的功能。 Rumah mau semahal apapun,toh tidurnya juga di atas ranjang. Mobil mau sebagus apapun, kalau melewati batas kecepatan ya ditilang juga. Tas mau semahal apapun, kalau dibandingkan sama kantong plastik kelebihannya cuman alat untuk memamerkan kekayaanmu. 別人的老婆再美， 總有一天會變成老太太。 Istri orang lain mau seberapa cantiknya,suatu saat nanti juga pasti akan jadi nenek2. 別人的老公再有錢，不如一個窮光蛋老公愛你。 Suami orang lain mau seberapa kaya juga gak bisa dibandingkan dengan suamimu yg meskipun miskin akan tetapi mencintaimu. 不要為了追求沒有的 ，而忘了自己已有的幸福 Jangan mengejar sesuatu yang kamu gak punya, terus melupakan kebahagiaan yang kamu sudah punyai. 知足常樂！如果拿你身上10斤肉換取父母的十年長壽，你願意嗎？ 願意的請轉發。 我願意做好一切換好一輩子。 Puaslah dengan apa yang kmu punyai sekarang! Kalau 10 jin ( 5kg)daging di badanmu diambil untuk menukarkan 10 tahun umur panjang untuk orang, apakah kamu bersedia? Kalo iya please forward this message. Aku bersedia berlaku baik untuk menukarkan seumur hidupku. 只要你分享給自己的好朋友，五天以後你一定好運臨頭，超準！！加油！！ Kalau kamu berbagi denga teman2mu, 5 hari kemudian keberuntungan akan datang. Sangat akurat! Jiayou! 這是來自荷蘭的一個諺語： Pepatah akurat dari Belanda: 錢可以買到棟房子，但買不到家庭。 Dengan uang kita bisa membeli rumah, akan tetapi tidak bisa membeli keluarga. 錢可以買到鐘錶，但買不到時間。 Dengan uang kita bisa membeli arloji, akan tetapi tidak bisa membeli waktu. 錢可以買到床，但買不到睡眠。 Dengan uang kita bisa membeli ranjang, akan tetapi tidak bisa membeli tidur nyenyak. 錢可以買到書，但買不到知識。 Dengan uang kita bisa membeli buku, akan tetapi tidak bs membeli pengetahuan. 錢可以買到醫療服務，但買不到健康。 Dengan uang kita bisa membeli perawatan medis, akan tetapi tidak bs membeli kesehatan . 錢可以買到地位，但買不到尊重。 Dengan uang bisa membeli kedudukan, akan tetapi tidak bisa membeli rasa hormat 錢可以買到血液，但買不到生命。 Uang bs membeli darah, tetapi tidak bs membeli kehidupan 錢可以買到性，但買不到真愛。 Sex bs dibeli dengan uang, akan tetapi tidak bisa membeli cinta sejati. 這諺語已環繞世界8次，現在是你得到幸運的時候。這不是開玩笑，你的幸運來自郵件或互聯網 。五天内把這諺語傳給需要幸運的人，以下是有關這信息得到幸運的人： Pepatah ini telah keliling dunia delapan kali, sekarang adalah waktu Anda untuk mendapatkan kebahagiaan. Ini bukan lelucon, bagikahlah pepatah di atas kepada orang yang membutuhkan keberuntungan，berikut adalah orang yang mendapatkan keberuntungan: 康斯坦1953年收到這信 息，他叫秘書傳送給20人，4天後他中了1億元 的彩票。para tahun 1953 Constanta menerima informasi ini, ia meminta sekretarisnya mengirim peesn ini ke 20 orang, empat hari setelah dia memenangkan 100 juta yuan Lottery. 卡洛斯收到同樣的信息，但沒有傳送，他4天後被辭退。不久，他把信息傳送别人，最後變得富有。 Carlos menerima informasi yang sama, tetapi tidak segera meneruskannya, empat hari setelahnya ia diberhentikan.tidak lama, ia mengirimkan informasi kepada orang lain, dan akhirnya menjadi kaya. 貝魯在7天後收到這信息 後取笑他，4天後他兒子病倒了。他即將信息傳給20人，4天後他兒子痊愈了。 7 hari setelahnya Bayrou menerima pesan ini. Setelah itu ia menganggapnya hanya sebuah leluco , empat hari setelahny anaknya jatuh sakit. Setelah itu segeraDia meneruskan pesan ini kepada 20 orang,empat hari setelah anaknya sembuh. 這信息是南非傳教士Anthony De Croud寫的，在4天内將這信息發送给20個親朋戚友，在4天後你的幸運將會降臨。 Informasi ini ditulis oleh Misionaris Anthony De Croud dari afrika selatan, dalam waktu empat hari sebarkam informasi ini kpd 20 teman dan kerabat, setelah 4 hari keberuntungan akan datang kepada anda.
