After ZYL arrives in YOHE, tells him: "Not long from now, we will communicate across ten thousand years. At that time, it was you who inspired us to continue fighting." That sounds like it was some time ago, and had a deep and lasting effect on them.

Oh, that's true. (I wonder how accurate that translation is.) (*reluctantly dismisses my shiny new proto-headcanon* ;-p)

It looks very accurate to me. As literally as I can render it:

"In the near future, we will communicate across ten thousand years. When that time comes, it [is/will be/was] you who has given us the confidence to persevere with the fight."

(Chinese doesn't have tenses, and in English you have to choose. Fu You talks about the future but uses a particle that indicates something is already done when talking about him giving them confidence.)

Cool, thanks! (I was just wondering if it could imply (in non-word-for-word translation) "and now we have the confidence...", but I should probably let it go. g)

[trobadora]

With the caveat that my Chinese is not very good, I don't think that would work. Sorry!

Oh well, never mind. Thanks again. :-)
