Someone can help me translate the story of Twin Heroes Prologue? i need some info for twin heroes in my site.
《新絕代雙驕前傳》的故事背景發生在系列第一代《新絕代雙驕》的十八年前。之所以叫做前傳,是因為那時候我 們熟悉的小魚兒,花無缺等人都還沒有出生,故事講述的是他們的兩位父輩:天下第一神劍燕南天,天下第一美男 子玉郎江楓兩人由相逢相知而結成生死莫逆的故事。透過豐富的劇情與遊戲性,玩家們將感受更多來自新絕代雙驕 世界的感動。

The new twin heroes prequel stories happens 18 years before the first series of New twin heroes. The reason it was called prequel cause at that time the xiao wu er ( the little fish ?! i don't know his english name) and also hua wu que ( flower prefect??? What the heck is this english name so lame. @_@) haven't born. The stories tell the history of thier two father; the world greatest sword man yan nan tian and also the world greatest handsome male wu lan jian feng. They meet and become the best friend. Through the rich stories , player can fell more on the gaming world of new twin heroes.
Before the world was in choas, man zhu (barbalian?) on the north was a threat to the dinesty. The king was useless, is pervert. Hentai. @_@ There's many people complaining. On the government, the qi jing meng and also ji guan meng( the trap) two of big power was on the race to obtain power. And on the wu ling (common description on the world in china) and in wu ling the people was having fight over the skill of jia yi sheng gong.
The main character, jian nan yian, at the little village town "horse shoes town was a black smith. Being a child being raised by a black smith and also placed the responsiblity to look over the village. Several time of cheat death he always escaped in his dream. ON day he meet someone and he obtained the skill of jia yi sheng gong. Obtaining the power of the skill but he can't use it. In the jiang hu what he will meet? what he will face? And those who know the truth will take what action to him? how he meet jiang feng? The one who always saves him in the dream who is he? Or she? (Not detailed) Why he or she look alike and having seen him or her before?

I'll give it a go too. I learnt 11 years of both English and Chinese and I like to practise it now and then. For the record I'm vantoria's southern neighbour, I'm from Singapore.
{start}
"The New Twin Heroes Prologue" is set eighteen years before the first "New Twin Heroes". It is called a prologue, because the familiar story protagonists, Xiao Yu Er and Hua Wu Que, have not been born yet. This game is about two heroes from the previous generation: World's Number 1 Swordsman Yan Nan Tian, and World's Number 1 Handsome Man Yu Lang Jiang Feng - how they met and became loyal and inseparable friends. Through the colourful storyline and rich gameplay, the players will feel more of the excitement and glory of the world of Twin Heroes.
During the time of chaos, the Mun tribes threaten our dynasty from the north. The useless emperor only indulges in dance and women, and all throughout the country the people grumble. Up in the Imperial Courts, the two camps "Qi Jing Men" and "Ji Guan Men" battle for influence; down in the pugilistic world, the possession of "Jia Yi Shen Gong" causes endless strife.
The main character, Yan Nan Tian, is a young smithing apprentice in an outlying village called "Horseshoe Village". He was brought up by his blacksmith father, and is responsible for guarding the village. He faced many dangers but was able to negate them in his dreams. One day, in a strange encounter, he gets hold of the invincible "Jia Yi Shen Gong". What further dangers will he encounter, a boy who has the world's most powerful skill but doesn't know how to use it? How will he be treated by the people who know the importance of what he possesses? How does he eventually meet Jiang Feng? Who is the man in his dreams? Why does that man feel real yet unreal, and feel somewhat familiar to him?
{end}
I've not translated the Chinese text word for word, instead I try to preserve the meaning and feel of every phrase - I feel that is more important in helping non-Chinese speakers understand what the passage means. Also, I've chosen not to try and translate the names of the skills and factions, because in my experience they always come out comical - Chinese uses different superlatives from English.
