    Default Question about DGSD(Tian Long Ba Bu)

    Sorry if i misplaced this thread , in the beginning chapter of this novels(Chapter 1 -2 if i'm not mistaken) mentioned about 'Angels' practising sword skills in
    'No Measure Jade Cliff' , what i'm interested is :

    - What do they mean by 'Angel' ? , do chinese people at that periode famliar with the term 'Angel' ? , do they familiar with creature that have a pair of bird-like wing on their back ? , if they do maybe they also familiar with Jesus Christ ? LOL , anyway maybe this is just some mistranslations ^^ .

    I Found this quite funny , does anyone share the same experience with me ?

    Peace

    Events later on in the novel reveals that the angels are merely the reflections on the cliff of a couple practicing their swordplays - and their swordplay is so brilliant that the observers thought that they are watching an out of this world skill - hence angels.

    @Han Solo

    I see ... , so 'Angels' in that translation means 'Something out of this world' hmm ... , I guess it is hard to find the 100% correct word to translate a chinese frase CMIIW

    Peace
