I am again talking about the translation of the Caprice. I give you the headings to show the structure
Prelude
Part I Legend of the Orient
1. Overture of Lunar Exploration--Chinese Orchestra
2. Hou Yi, Shooting Down 9 Suns-- Chinese Chamber Music
3.Chang E, Fairy Lady Flying to the Moon -- ditto
4. Full Moon of the Millenia--ditto
Part II China Soaring
5. Sailing on the Milky Way--ditto
6. Samba in Space
Part III Zenith of a Harmonius World
7. Songs of Science Caprice
What do you think of the above translation?
Very good! Just a few things...
2 Hou Yi, Shooting Down Nine Suns-- Chinese Chamber Music
Only use figures for informal writing, write numbers in full for material such as this
Same for "ditto"
3 Chang E, Fairy Lady Flying to the Moon -- Chinese Chamber Music
Spelling of "millennia"
4. Full Moon of the Millenia -- Chinese Chamber Music
5. Sailing on the Milky Way -- Chinese Chamber Music
Spelling of "harmonious"
Part III Zenith of a Harmonious World
I have to say these titles sound wonderful!
