Red tide, green tide, ... and black tide?
|||
The year 2011 started well, with more work than I can handle and none for free. (Yes, I work for free some time.)
Among the things I have done so far (less than 10 days into the new year) is to lightly edit an article of more than 10, 000 words, in 24 hrs. I could have done it if it were truly light editing. Instead, I was doing re-translation half of the time. So, I asked for 48 hrs.
As I edited along, I saw "black tide invasion." I stopped: "I have heard of red tide and green tide. But, what is this black tide?" Well, I had the Chinese version right in front of me, so I checked. Guess what it was supposed to be?
