畅玩手游《王者荣耀》被批歪曲历史 引发群众热议

 　　A popular Chinese mobile game, "King of Glory," has come under fire for allegedly promoting an inaccurate¹ representation of ancient Chinese history.

　　近日，中国畅玩手游《王者荣耀》被指没有准确表述中国历史，从而受到了指责。

　　State media outlet² Guangming Daily published an article blaming the game for "distorting history."

　　官方媒体《光明日报》日前刊登了一篇文章，指责《王者荣耀》"歪曲历史"。

　　The article claimed that, despite using many famous names from Chinese history, "King of Glory" completely misrepresented the figures' true stories and status.

　　文章称，尽管《王者荣耀》使用了中国历史上许多著名人物，但是却完全歪曲了这些人物的真实事迹和身份。

　　According to the newspaper, famous poet Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty became an assassin, while noted³ doctor Bian Que from the Spring and Autumn Period was cast as an expert on poison.

　　据该报报道，在《王者荣耀》中，唐朝著名诗人李白变成了刺客、春秋名医扁鹊变成了下毒高手。

　　More than 60 characters in the game were based on characters from history, including many from the classic novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

　　该款游戏中60多个角色都来自历史人物，其中还包括许多《三国演义》中的经典人物。

　　"They not only travel through time and space to fight together, the characters in the game take on historical figures' names with no connection at all to their experiences in history," the newspaper argued, adding that this characteristic could easily confuse young players.

　　该篇报道表示："这些人物不仅穿越时间空间一起战斗，而且虽然他们顶着历史人物的名字，但是和他们在历史上的真实经历一点关系也没有。"该报道还称，这些特点很容易让低龄玩家陷入迷惑。

　　"King of Glory" is a multiplayer online battle arena⁴ (MOBA) game designed by Tencent Games. It was launched in 2015. In 2016, the total revenue of the game reached 6.8 billion RMB, some 17.7 percent of the total revenue for mobile gaming in China.

　　《王者荣耀》是腾讯游戏设计的一款多人在线战术竞技游戏（MOBA），于2015年首次上线。2016年，这款游戏的营收达到了68亿人民币，占据了中国手游市场全部营收的17.7%。

　　The Guangming Daily article was met with significant support and approval. Some people pointed⁵ to online search results for the historical figures, which increasingly yield information about the characters in the game rather than the real luminaries⁶.

　　《光明日报》这篇文章得到了极大的支持和认可。一些人指出，如果在网上搜索这些历史人物，出来的信息越来越多是关于游戏中的人物，而不是真正的历史。

　　However, some hit back at the accusation⁷, arguing that games are supposed to be creative, and that "King of Glory" doesn't purport⁸ to be set in any specific historical period.

　　不过，也有一些人则对这一批评予以了反击，认为游戏就应该创新，而且《王者荣耀》并不是以任何特定历史时期为背景的。
