Serenity #3 translations

Finally getting around to this.

Again, not nearly as much as issue #1.

Page 14, bottom panel, Wash: 不要命的速度 bu4 yao4 ming4 de su4 du4

Essentially "breakneck speed". bu4 yao4 ming4 means "don't care/want to live" and "su4 du4" means speed. Which, yes, makes Wash's saying rather redundant.

I must have offended somebody in a previous life

Yay, those were relatively easy. Though I'm not sure the grammatical/idiomatic construction on the last one is completely correct, but oh well.

Jives with what I got -- much easier than the last two issues!

Since you are in the House Madrassa crew, I thought you should know you're getting cheated on the "Top Crews" rankings. It currently lists you (as of 11:41 am EDT) as the #10 crew. This is ludicrous since the #8 and #9 ranked crews both have far fewer points than your crew has.

FYI, I only checked the bottom three crews (to see why our crew, Birds of a Feather, had dropped out of the top ten).

Crew #08: 068,045 (Antisocial Bastards)
Crew #09: 079,210 (Outta the Black)
Crew #10: 109,855 (House Madrassa)

My Crew::: 074,485 (Birds of a Feather)

So technically these four crews should be ranked like this:

07. Crew #10: 109,855 (House Madrassa)
08. Crew #09: 079,210 (Outta the Black)
09. My Crew::: 074,485 (Birds of a Feather)
10. Crew #08: 068,045 (Antisocial Bastards)

Based on the fact that spot checks on Friday also revealed massive errors in their "Top Crews" calculations, I'd guess you probably have more points than several of the crews from #1 - #7 that I haven't even checked.

Just thought you'd like to know!
