Video Clip: Mulan Introduces Liu Yuandu to Her Mother
| Our Translation | Translated by Christopher Rea | |
| Mulan’s mother (comes in and holds bunch of matchmaking letters): Look, I don’t know how many people would like to make a match. Here are so many invitation letters. What should we do? | Look at this! I don’t know how many marriage proposals we’ve received. What do you think we should do about all these? | 木兰母:你瞧,真不知道有多少人来做媒。你看这么多的帖子,怎么办? |
| Mulan: I have already decided. | I’ve already made my choice. | 木兰:我已经定了。 |
| Mulan’s mother: Decided? Who is him? | You have? What kind of man is he? | 木兰母:定了?什么样的人? |
| Mulan: Mother, you can hear his voice first and see whether it works (lowers her voice) Liu Yuandu! | Mom, just listen to his voice first and tell me what you think. Liu Yuandu! | 木兰:妈,您先听听他的声音,看行不行。(向窗外,用低沉的声音)刘元度! |
| Liu Yundu: Yes! | Present! | 刘元度:到! |
| Mulan: How is his voice? | How does he sound? | 木兰:您听怎么样? |
| Mulan’s mother: It’s very powerful. | Bold! | 木兰母:洪亮得很。 |
| Mulan: Let me show you his appearance, and you can decide whether it works. | Just wait until you see him! I’ll take you. | 木兰:我带您去看看他的模样。看使得使不得? |
| Mulan’s mother: Slow down. I cannot stand your pull. | Hey, no need to pull! | 木兰母:慢一点,我经不起你这一拉。 |
| Mulan: Ok, mother, I understand (comes back out with her mother, and uses her normal voice) Yuandu (to her mother) It’s him. | Yes, mother. Your daughter obeys. Yuandu! He’s the one. | 木兰:好,妈,孩儿知道了。(携母出,用女声喊)元度。(向其母)就是他。 |
| Liu Yuandu turns back and looks at Mulan with surprise. | ||
| Mulan: Please enjoy yourselves. | At ease, gentlemen! | 木兰:各位请随便。 |
| Mulan’s comrades are all shocked when they find out Mulan is a girl. Mulan runs away. | ||
