The interviewer and the TV program speaks Mandarin. She only speaks Cantonese. Mandarin speakers can't understand Cantonese and vice versa. It is that simple, people.
I'm an asian and i can speak perfect English, Chinese and French. I also have a Scottish accent as i grew up in Scotland but am born in China. I have currently moved to Singapore
Somebody please help me locate and identify the interviewer in the video as I want to send a personal greeting to him courtesy of my fists! That annoying bitch needs to shut the fuck up and learn some proper interviewing etiquette, aka SHUT THE FUCK UP WHEN THE INTERVIEWEE IS TALKING! "Mmhmm" " Mmhmm" "Mmhmm"
The first part is just an introduction about Katie, stuff we already know. (She's 18, she's from Scotland, and she beat thousands of girls to become Cho Chang.)
u know what is so messed up. she was in both the order of the phoenix and goblet of fire movie but in the half blood prince she was in the movie but with no lines. and u cant even find her in the movie unless u have the widescreen version. and only time she is seen in the half blood prices is next to Neville longbottom at the lighting of Dumbledore's death. like if u have full screen, u wont even see her at all. that's so messed up.
Sorry guys but the thing is I study Japanese not Chinese so I can't translate it. But if someone is willing to help with the translation, we'd all appreciate :D
@hpworldfangirl All they're saying in the beginning is her name (Peishi Liang is the mandarin version of Katie Leung) and how she was chosen out of 4000 some people. I'll give a brief one:
"18 year old young woman Peishi Liang from Scotland plays Harry's love Qiu Zhang. (Cho Chang is cantonese, and this interview is mandarin. Thank god, since I don't understand cantonese) She never acted in films before, and admitted to be shy, though she became one of the most famous people in HP suddenly.
@hpworldfangirl and i reached the character limit.... the summart of the beginning in mandarin is basically telling a little about her before the actual interview part:)
@hpworldfangirl erm they're speaking chinese. It's a hong kong talk show that they have to do in mandarin because the majority of china knows mandarin, but not all of them know cantonese, which is the language of hong kong. i understand chinese, because i am chinese, but they're speaking really fast so it's hard to understand.
@hpworldfangirl basically, they're just introducing the interview, saying they have harry potter's Cho Chang, or, as they call her in china, Zhang Qiu.
people from HongKong = cantonese (they speak cantonese, like you do, I assume. I do too.)
she's probably born and raised in the UK, but that doesn't mean she's indigenous. her family are immigrants from HongKong, therefore they're originally from HK so Katie's blood is cantonese. her ethnicity is still Chinese. She's Britisch-Chinese, but you can also say she's cantonese.
Well,that is not exact.People from Hongkong and speak Cantonese doesn't mean they are Cantonese,Cantonese only means people from Canton(KuangTung) Province of Mainland China.
infact,many Hongkong people are originally from Shanghai during Chinese national war.
Cantonese" means ppl from the province Guangdong (formerly known as Canton) in mainland China, yes. Since 1997 HK is a part of China again and HK falls under the province Guangdong. This is how it officially is.
Ppl in HK don't agree with being a part of China, they don't feel like they're Chinese, as in Chinese from China. That's OK and if you feel that way then that's OK too. But that ^ is how it officially is right now, so i won't go in discussion about whether HK is a part of China or not.
It's not in such exact terms as you put it. Almost all the people from Hong Kong will say that they're Cantonese. Sure, People from Canton is ALSO Cantonese, but that doesn't mean people from Hong Kong can't refer to themselves as Cantonese as well say they DO speak Cantonese and there is no such word as "Hong Kong-nese"
LoL, i saw in an interview before she spoke, brief mandarin it was when her mom was talking to her. Saying quote *Katie ne yo nae gah part* *part is english though its a mixure of chinese and english. I speak crappy mandarin myself so I tend to mix english with chinese together sometimes when talking in chinese to fill those unknown words at that moment :P
pisses me off when ppl can b so narrow minded and think, that 'oh she looks asian, means she speaks no english'. which is completley BULL CRAP!! fuckin racist narrow minded ppl. GRRRR
Elle vient de Hong Kong donc elle doit surement parler cantonais. Pourtant mandarin... je m'en doute, enfin si... mais peut etre elle parle avec des difficultes
OMG!!! i love katie!!! she is sooo pretty!! i think she is the perfect cho chang!! she is probably even nicer tha cho!!! lol :) thanks for posting!!! <3
