以前发过一个帖子,想翻译一下中国象棋。楼主英语水平一般,大家给点建议,另外,考虑到外国选手看不懂中国式的记谱方法,本人用坐标法加以改进,中国象棋的象棋术语:顺手炮,我做了一个比喻翻译,就好像我走什么,别人也走什么,就像对面是一面镜子,翻译为MIRROR PAO,(暂且这样翻译,如果吧友有好的建议,欢迎@我,直车对横车: che versus:vertical and horizontal ,其他的大家看看,给点建议,不喜勿喷。
棋子的名称: 2 Rooks (R) (or chariots) 车 2 Knights (N) (or horses) 马 2 Elephants (M) (or bishops or ministers) 象 2 Mandarins (G) (or advisors or assistants or guards) 士 1 King (K) (or generals) 将 2 Cannons (C) 炮 5 Pawns (P) (or soldiers) 卒 这里有一些各种棋子的走动规则: Rooks The Rook moves as an orthodox Rook. Knights The Knight moves one point orthogonally followed by one point outward-diagonally. It may not leap over occupied points. Elephants The Elephant moves exactly two points diagonally. It may not leap over occupied points. Also, Elephants are confined to their home side of the river. Due to these limitations, the Elephant can see only seven points of the board. Mandarins The Mandarin (or Guard) moves one point diagonally. It may never leave the palace. King or General The King moves as an orthodox King, but cannot move diagonally. It may never leave the palace. (See King for more information.) [The symbols on red and black Kings differ, but their moves are the same.] The two Kings cannot face each other on an open file. For example, a red King on e1 and a black King on e9, with no piece on the e-file between them, is an illegal position. If either King sits exposed on an open file, the other King may not move to occupy that file. Cannons (Pao) The Cannon moves differently when it moves to capture than when it moves passively. The Cannon moves passively as an orthodox Rook The Cannon moves to capture as an orthodox Rook which is required to hop over a single screen. In other words, Cannons capture by hoping over a second piece in order to capture a third piece. For example, a Cannon on a1 can take a piece on f1 when exactly one of the points b1, c1, d1, or e1 is occupied by a piece of either color. Cannons only capture when hoping and only hop when capturing. They may never hop over more than one piece in a given move. Pawns Unlike orthodox Pawns, the Xiangqi Pawn's passive move and capture move are always the same. A starting Pawn moves one point straight-forward. A Pawn crossing the river promotes, keeping its old move and gaining a new move -- a one-point step to either horizontal. Pawns do not promote on the last rank, where they can move only left or right.
