ten then refused to move

Похоже, я нашла эту историю.

@темы: теги, какие теги?

так что же

Вопрос Гарольда отсюда.


Mr.Reese, 你听过 "十动然拒" 的故事么?

процесс расшифровки

过 - to pass through, to cross - пришлось поднимать логи, куда я скидывала ссылки, ибо распознавалка кандзи по двум правильно введенным радикалам выдать этот символ отказалась. Из чего делается вывод, что японцы его не используют. А в китайском он в верхней сотне.

听 - inquire;question;ask;investigate;probe - да, это мистер Риз умеет...

На первую группу 你听过 гуглотранслейт выдал "Have you ever heard", что, судя по грамотному построению фразы, должно быть близко к истине.

动 - добыт с совместной помощью двух словарей.

然 - найден в кандзи, за что спасибо, ибо ханский порадикальный поиск не так удобен, как тот конструктор.

Но в итоге на фразу в кавычках "十动然拒" гуглотранслейт сказал "Ten then refused to move." - вот прям так, с точкой внутри, даже в середине предложения. Чем немало меня озадачил.
Поспрашав его старшего брата - гугла, - выяснилось, что эта фраза в неизменном виде встречается в нескольких малоосмысленных переводах с китайского и, возможно, как-то связана с обучением и\или телекоммуникациями. Загадка, блин.

Полную фразу предшественник искуственного интеллекта интерпретирует так: Mr.Reese, you heard "ten then refused to move," the story?
Что на более осмысленный английский я перевожу в виде: Mr.Reese, have you heard the story of "ten then refused to move"?

После некоторых телодвижений у гуглотранслейта появился второй вариант загадочной фразы: "Ten contingent refused to move," (опять же, со знаком препинания, вот уж не знаю, почему). Спросив уже про эту фразу у старшего брата - гугла, получаю следующую практически нечитаемую статью, из которой с опытом невольного "переводчика обратно" выясняется, что данная фраза - что-то вроде мема на китайском, а впечатление, что она "относится к телекоммуникациям", возникает из использования слова network, где явно подразумевается интернет. For example, "Ten contingent refused to move" is a "mortgaging" idiom, сказано в статье. Конечно, ипотека тут ни при чем, а имеется в виду языковое заимствование. Расшифровка, которая там дается, ничего мне не проясняет, но далее приводится практически кулстори, как "In November 11, 2012, Huazhong University of Science" какой-то парень потратил безумное количество времени и сил на написание, если правильно переводят, то ли любовных писем, то ли записок в книгах, чтобы признаться девушке в любви. Девушка была "тронута", но отказала.

Итак, что мы имеем в итоге. В итоге получается, что наш обожаемый Гарольд ехидно улыбается и спрашивает "Мистер Риз, слышали ли вы историю о 'ten then refused to move'?" (как бы ни переводилось это загадочное выражение), намекая на грандиозный облом в стиле "я тронут, но спасибо, нет".

Поправьте меня, если я ошибаюсь.

смена настроения

Того кадра, которого хотела, гугл в другом разрешении не находит. Предлагает поискать другое по запросу harold finch. Догадливый, умница. (У картинки не было тегов, но он как-то определяет)
Что ж, поищем. Ничего сильно в глаза не бросается, пока не набредаю на это:

И начинаю истерически хихикать.

Из того, что спрашивает Риз, первый символ означает "ты\вы", предпоследний "я" в разных формах. Ну, в общем-то, не нужно знать китайский (а я и не знаю), чтобы понять, что он спрашивает.
Мне вот интересно, каким вопросом ответил Гарольд...

Mr.Reese, 你__ "十___" __事_?

"Крест" в кавычках означает "десять". А предпоследний символ (который я явно видела раньше, и потратила около пятнадцати минут, выковыривая его оттуда, где видела), насколько я поняла, "карьера\работа". Вот что он спросил, а?

песня читателя ФБ

В дневнике - тишина,
В ленте - разная фигня,
Кто-то пашет, а меня
Не припахал никто.

Я свободен от игры,
От вражды и от молвы,
От оргминимума и
От временных оков.

Я славы не прошу.
Я лучше отзывов побольше напишу.

Я - читатель,
Я в команду не пошел,
Я - читатель,
Сроков нет, и хорошо,
Я - читатель,
Я не креативлю тут,
Я - читатель,
Но, надеюсь, додадут.


Дисклеймер: на оригинал песни не претендую. Как категоричное заявление относительно моих планов на лето также прошу не рассматривать.

любите ли вы иероглифы так, как...

У Rosetta Stone в японском модуле несколько видов вывода текста. Изначально, если я правильно помню, стояло ромадзи. Но это слишком просто. Суть-то в том, чтобы на японском читать. Хотя розетта в сторону чтения совсем не заточена. Итак. Поставила кану. Домучилась до третьего урока и застряла. Потом то да се, забросила конкретно это дело. А тут вот села. Проскочила сходу третий, а четвертый в самом начале подвис. И, покуда искала, куда бы потыкать, набрела снова на этот переключатель, а там есть кандзи с фуриганой...
И знаете что?
Стало проще. Потому что чертовы кандзи читаются в разных местах по-разному. И то, что в фонетике выглядит бессистемным бредом, в кандзи оказывается вполне структурировано.

Пример

Пример (кану вставлять не буду, потому что в данном случае равнофигственно):

onna no ko = девочка		onna no ko tachi = девочки
onna no hito = женщина		onna no hito tachi = женщины
otoko no ko = мальчик		otoko no ko tachi = мальчики
otoko no hito = мужчина		otoko no hito tachi = мужчины

Пока логично, да? А теперь в виде местоимений:

kare = он		kare ra = они (если в группе есть лица мужского пола)
kano jo = она		kano jo tachi = они (если только женщины)

Та-дам! Скажете, не выносит мозг?

А теперь посмотрим в кандзи

А теперь посмотрим в кандзи:

女の子 onna no ko = девочка		女の子達 onna no ko tachi = девочки
女の人 onna no hito = женщина		女の人達 onna no hito tachi = женщины
男の子 otoko no ko = мальчик		男の子達 otoko no ko tachi = мальчики
男の人 otoko no hito = мужчина		男の人達 otoko no hito tachi = мужчины

То есть (грубо):
女 - женский символ
男 - мужской символ
人 - человек
子 - ребенок

Для прикола, в китайском

Для прикола, в китайском:

女孩子		nu hai zi = девочка
女人		nu ren = женщина
男孩子		nan hai zi = мальчик
男人		nan ren = мужчина

Теперь вернемся к местоимениям:

彼		kare = он		彼ら		kare ra = они (если в группе есть лица мужского пола)
彼女		kano jo = она		彼女達		kano jo tachi = они (если только женщины)

Итого, все они содержат символ, который, будем считать, означает третье лицо. С какой такой радости он читается по-разному (kare и kano), мне неизвестно, и не факт, что это где-то описано, ну да ладно. Соответственно, по умолчанию род местоимения получается мужской, и для получения женского к нему добавляется уже знакомый нам женский символ, который в этом случае (ну что ж поделать!) тоже читается по-другому, а именно jo (то самое, которое в shojo и bishojo). Образование множественного мужского с помощью слога ra можно запомнить, а женское множественное получается также, как в вышеприведенных словах. Та-дам! Здравствуй, логика!

А вообще, чтоб я еще раз собралась что-нибудь с таким количеством вставляемых в текст картинок писать... Картинки сдохли, переписала в юникоде.

вывод

некоторое наблюдение

У Машины несколько интерфейсов. Некоторые из них не затрудняются читать по-английски мои разглагольствования по итогам просмотра, но как минимум одному то ли тяжело, то ли некогда, поскольку упоминание было, но бессодержательное. А вот другому, наоборот, не составило труда упомянуть на том же инглихе, причем грамотно.
Следовательно, их несколько.
Да-да, это я про вас. А вот если я тэг не поставлю?

That's the downside of seeing a show on TV before you know you're going to love it to bits: spoilers. Things you see before you really care. Oh, I got the whole "Finch is a darling, Reese is cool, Shaw is badass, Root is brilliantly mad" drift even then, but the devil's in the details.

As it's easy to guess, 21th is one of the episodes I've already seen, if partially. But I couldn't perceive it in depth.

all hell breaks loose

So, I already know they cannot reaquire Grace. They'll have to exchange. Finch will show up for that.
But now I do hope that Root, who stayed with a full shipment of super servers, will bug them out somehow, so when the Samaritan reaches a certain threshold of power, they start crashing down.
And I know she'll appropriate one or two. Good girl.


What can I say about the exchange scene? Harold's turn to be a little heartless. John tells him to stay alive, he even doesn't tell him to stay alive too. He means it, somewhere, probably. Still, the fact stands.


Oh, seven. Root is a very good girl as of now.

The FUNKEN HELL Reese just did?! Jumping with the assailant out the window? He gets to land on top, of course, but was that really necessary?

Aaaand I hope with Bear's help Root will get Mr. Greer. By the way, why is his name John, too? Authors couldn't be bothered with variety?

Dammit, Root. Should have shot him.

things got interesting

And now it gets madly interesting.
I like Root for now, Shaw's cool, Harold is as usual, John too. Mr. Greer and Collier are both pain in the backside.



Oh I hope that payphone call is from her... Take it, John?

Pff. I didn't mean her.


Damn, the old bad guy is too clever. That was a damn effective move.
Serves Root right to take her arrogance down a peg, (and John gets to say "I told you so") but shouldn't happen at the cost of a number.


"Patch these into this", huh. She doesn't say what the hell it is, but I think I was right about a Cochlear implant.

And I think it was Root who shot those people..?


And what would you know, she did.

I wish the Machine talked to Harold. Only, like with John, he just doesn't talk to her anymore, so why would she?

things are cooler than I thought

Huh! First glance, and we already know how much John Reese is better than that Dillinger guy. And he got the tea wrong.

I wonder how much of the impression is from the authors deliberately making Dillinger annoying, and how much from my aquired thinking that Reese is one true partner for Finch?
I'm almost not mad at him anymore...

Oh bloody bloody bloody hell! Hello, John. And Kara.
Which kind of sucks. I'm sure Dillinger will end up at the wrong side of a bullet with those two.
But Finch is only supposed to meet John after John "loses" Kara, so how does he know John's face?

Unless he was receiving those early cases of Jessica's repeated number and defusing them somehow... then he would look into her past and see John, but how he'd know John's CIA?

Is it awful that I'm cheering for John, even though Dillinger is the one saving the number from him?

Oh. Oh. Casey's not hacked into a machine, he tried to hack into the Machine. Huh... means John worked on the other side of the numbers? The relevant side?

Oh bloody oath. Bringing a number into the Library! Is he daft?


Wow. A car with Casey in the trunk, ready to get really dead, just crashes into a pole? Doesn't sound right. But then, the Machine wouldn't do that. She didn't do that stuff in any of the other cases. If anything, she'd be interested in his disappearance.

Aaaand here comes the bad old guy. Mr. Greer, huh?

HUH!. And that's the laptop. "Tweaking it", yeah, right. Harold has a neat habit of severely understating things.


Oh I hope they kill him very painfully.
My best guess would be that Harold had already finished his "tweaking" (which translates into writing a virus to take down the Machine, with a little bonus inside), at least mainly. Because of what we've already seen.
I knew I didn't like that Dillinger guy for a reason.


Oh Harold. It's the second time he walks when he shouldn't. No surprise he ended up limping.


Oh John. Okay, I'm not mad anymore. He's just too damn noble.


And this is, of course, Shaw.
Harold really should enlighten them about that situation. For a bit of a bonding time.


How in the all bleeding hell can he dig with a showel? Considering he needs to use one leg for balance and the other to press?
Okay, good leg for balance, bad for digging. Must hurt.


Oh, I knew it's Root.

Why is the Machine doing that stuff, I wonder?

action, humour and fanservice

Oh, finally. Down with the tension and drama, back to the good old fun. And with a great start, too.

Finch: As a donor who RSVP'd, you'll be my plus-one, Mr. Reese.

*giggles*
I honestly thought that it was a stuff of fanfiction. But to have that actually happen in canon? It's terribly sweet.

They really should have made Finch get the bowtie done for Mr. Reese.

And Shaw is soooo a shipper. Welcome to the club, Shaw.

Really? That whole thing wasn't made up in fanfiction? *pleasant surprise bordering on shock* Really?
Shouldn't be pausing it so often, but I do like to stretch a pleasure.

*squeal of helpless delight* Yes. Yes, he's gorgeous. And so is Harold's face in reaction. Damn.

Is the whole episode filled with fanservice, or should I brace for imminent disappointment?


There it goes. Oh well.


But, guys, I think Kelly isn't the ninja, I think she's the decoy that's about to get killed. Although she's too good at fighting to be just a random person.


Nope, seems like the real deal. Then maybe the dead decoys thing was a lie.



Wow, a 3D-printer! Harold does have the best toys. What're the guys printing?

Oh yes, fingers. I don't believe there would be all five on the card. Especially in a good enough quality.
But if they try a bunch of people...
Okay, they went with one. I'm going to believe this once.


And the rest is a typically good operation. Also, Reese and kids, always a cute combination. In a scary way.


I'm not good in formulating a conclusion this time, but... Diamonds, Finch?

3x13

It's not evening yet.

angry, sad, hopeful

Aaaaaaaaaand isn't it just a bit suspicious.
Reese might write it off, though. I know someone who tends to get this a lot. With me, digital systems hardly ever fail when I need them. Maybe sometimes. But that someone I know? It's like Murphy's law. The ATM's gonna be malfunctioning, ticket systems hang up, anything electronic can go haywire. And they don't even touch anything. They just come to the terminal and the operators start swearing. Funny thing, in hindsight. Not when it's happening.
So, Reese might write it off. But something's definitely happening.



Oh, I hope the Machine messes with his flight program. He just doesn't get to sit and relax in headphones. Nope.
Well, that's almost as good.
Aaaand he put the phone near himself. I hope she sees him...


4C? Wait, there was an episode named like that. Oh dear, is that the one I'm watching? I tried to avert my eyes from spoilers, but I've got an ominous feeling...
Well, I think I'm sure that Reese makes it out alive, but I'd like him not to be too battered physically. Emotionally though, fair game.

Had been wondering for a second if 4C means "foresee", but Reese spotted an airplane seat. So much for my guesses.


A bit of a forced action. Good. I'm pretty sure the Machine fitted him for that flight, or Root did (which is about the same, Root doesn't care about him outside the "Harold, Machine and assets" circle). Not that Harold wouldn't pull tricks like that, but he wouldn't leave Reese without intel, so, not him.


Huh!

Harold's face is so shocked, as if he set different melodies to different callers and already knows that it's Reese. While I'm pretty sure the melody is default.
On a second thought, perhaps it's different phones for different callers...


They do share that cruel streak. Insisting that they can choose not to save anyone. And Harold doesn't blame him.
But in a few minutes he's going to blame himself.
Besides, if I'm not wrong he did pocket the marshall's badge. How's that for not being involved?


Oh, actually. I wanted the Machine to talk to him? She did better. She's lovely.


Holly the flight attendant: Whatever happened to people helping other people?
Tooooo right, Miss Holly. Reese should drink to that.


Reese: I quit my job.
Holly: Didn't like your boss?
Reese: I didn't like my boss's boss.
One of the few redeeming aspects of John's current behaviour... he never said he didn't like Finch.
As for not liking the Machine, which translates into blaming her for Carter's death, that's still unfair. She did all she could, considering her limitations. It wasn't even Carter's number they worked with. Those two should have watched out for Simmons.
Actually, the Machine probably wasn't calling about Carter's number even then. She predicts stuff based on online interaction. At that point the HR was destroyed. There was no interaction. If Simmons decided to kill Carter, he didn't blabble about it. She simply wouldn't know in time.


Well, hopefully this Holly isn't in on the "get the guy in 4C" plot?


That speech about responsibility isn't fair either. It's obviously directed at Harold, and was he ever doing anything except taking responsibility since the ferry explosion? Besides, there were others trying to do the very same thing. He, at least, did it right.



Huh. The annoying guy, not Holly. Good.



"Oh dear", indeed. Well, Harold can fly planes in general, right? It's better than those hapless people that get to do that in all those airplane-in-distress movies.


How does Reese manage to cheer Finch up by referring him to the applause and still sound angry at him, huh?

John Reese, that was a cruel joke. Harold already does look like his eyes are permanently filled with tears. What is the need of making him anymore sad? He can't even smile properly. Even by his own standard of not-smiles.


I'm still kind of mad at Mr. Reese. But he's starting to redeem himself.

Paused before the start. Having a bit of coffee. Not like my liver's going to thank me, but we programmers have our weaknesses. Should follow Finch's lead and drink green tea, I guess. Only old habits die hard.

sad, sadder, angry

Look, I get it. On some level, it's good that John didn't go to this operation. Because now Finch and Shaw are both in there, and John is outside, potentially able to save them. Only he has no idea where they are, and whether they need saving.

I also now understand why the Machine doesn't talk to him. Because he doesn't care. For him it's just a device. Me, I talk even to my computer. Stuff like "oh, come on!" when it slows down, and "please, do" when processing something tasking, and "hey, you alright" when there are odd signs like harddrive clicking and sudden unexpectable freezes, and so on. And that's knowing it doesn't receive my words in any quality, since I don't run any speech recognition software. If I knew it's actually listening? I'd be talking to it all the time, no matter whether it responds or not.
Reese just doesn't care. And he knows she listens. He yelled at her quite enough. But he doesn't care to talk. So she won't.
Which is a pity.

What the Machine does is feel an active need to protect Admin. And since she's no longer having her personality erased, she's finally doing something about it. It's only logical that Root will be the one saving Harold this time.
I only wonder how did she get in contact?

Both of the girls seem to be skipping Hersh when firing their shots. With Root, I guess the Machine recognizes him as an asset to the program, but Shaw?


And now, the Machine has got Admin out, how about saving her human interface, huh?



Oh, Harold. I hope the air supply isn't limited.
A pity about the bank worker. Girl's got unlucky, but now she's going to bleed and suffer right in front of Finch, and he really doesn't need that on top of everything else.



Wow. I just had a bout of love for Fusco. Going for the kill. Just what I said, John should be sorry. Well, it looks like Fusco just made him.



And Shaw just keeps making me laugh in the most inappropriate times. *giggles*



Yeah, right, help her. She did save your Admin. Do something.
I don't particularly like Root, although she has those moments, but, for one, she is on the Machine's side. For another, she always fiercely protected Harold (after that one case when she kidnapped him).



Powerful threat, but Root still can get a Cochlear implant. An awful lot of pain, though. I wish it didn't happen.



Oh, it's a brilliant, wonderful thing that Vigilance doesn't know about Harold's Machine. Shows that he's always been right about being so private and having so many aliaces. Nathan mocked him, and where is Nathan now? This other guy didn't do that stuff, and there they are going after him. Harold's cool. He has to be alright.
John still should be sorry.
Also, hopefully Fusco's coming. They could use an extra hand.



And I really hope Root kills her.



Stomping them with a foot might be an ineffective way to kill drives. Information can be recovered. They had to throw them closer to the door, at least.



Oh, finally.
What if he was a second too late? Biting the bullet wouldn't have cut it, nu-uh.

Finch: Mr. Reese, I am inordinately happy to see you.

And he is. So much emotion in his voice. And his eyes, and those broken glasses. I want to frame this moment and keep it somewhere. Stuff like that doesn't happen to normal people in normal life.




Wait. Harold left his dad a book about birds, and no one's caught up with his naming pattern? How dumb should they be?




How heartless is that? Carter, died because of the Machine? The fact that they had numbers was the only reason she got Quinn to FBI and not got killed before doing anything.

I'm really, really mad at John Reese right now...

Reese is being more than unreasonable. And other developments

And that is kind of beyond heartless. Has John sustained brain damage from bloodloss? Leaving Harold so distressed that he walks past the goddamn payphones! That's something...
Harold will deal with it, of course, he's a strong person. Doesn't make it less heartless.


HOW in the all bleeding hell?!
Guess Root doesn't even need a corded phone. That's scary, you know?



Harold Finch is a cruel man. Good, kind, but cruel.
I know I've already said that, but.

The odd thing is, his reaction to that Claypoole is a bit too strong. Could he be one of the guys involved with the Machine on a lower level of creation process?


Oh no no no no no. Can that be Finch's father?


Oh dear, that kid is Finch. Isn't he adorable?



Aaaand here comes Samaritan. I genuinely don't know what it is, aside of being a supercomputer of sorts, possibly somewhere on par with the Machine - and isn't it nice of Finch to not even give it a name - but I do know that it means trouble.


I need subtitles to even understand what kid Harold says. Isn't that cool?



Can't be his father, though. The age doesn't add up. Harold's dad looked about forty, and had a failing memory too, and now Harold himself is nearing fifty, so that would make his dad, what, at least eighty years old?

And Harold seems to be an only kid, so not his brother, either.

Okay, just friends. That's fine.


But the man is dead, anyway. His agency learns he's been to an unknown location talking to hell knows who, they'd off him. Besides, there's that bit with terminal cancer. Well, hopefully not on Harold's watch...

Oh, that's lovely singing. *giggles*

Shaw: John's gonna be sorry he missed that.
Too true, Miss Shaw. And he should be sorry. He really should. I would understand him holding a grudge when that thing with the leaked laptop was revealed, but this time there was no Finch's fault, only Carter's personal crusade which got her killed. Almost got John killed, too. But there wasn't an ounce of Harold's fault.
Suppose something happens to Harold when John is on his self-assigned vacation, then what?


Aaaaand Samaritan's got everything Harold's denied his Machine. Daaaaamn.



Oh. Oooooooooooh. I did suspect there was something fishy happening, but then both Shaw and Finch accepted her as the real thing and I let it pass. But...


OH FUNKEN HELL. So that's the "ma'am" Hersh answers to.
Good thing Harold always keeps his cover and the folks don't know he's the one who did get the Machine done.
Or maybe they know from the bad old guy who saved Stanton. Damn.

Oh for the love of nature, Harold, do you always have to physically shield those people?
John should be sorry. Very sorry. Something did happen. Nothing tragic, yet, but "it's not yet evening" as the saying goes.

That, however, does leave us with a question: did Harold have something to do with the missing drives?
Did Root?

And oh dear, can the Machine launch Samaritan?
