Chapter 27: The Final Hiding Place

(For the romanisation of Chinese and Japanese, see Transliteration. To understand the writing systems of CJV, see Writing Systems. For word order notes, see Word Order)

Where a Vietnamese word has been borrowed from Chinese, the original Chinese character is shown in parentheses.

 

Chinese (Mainland)	最后的隐藏之处 Zuìhòu de yǐncáng-zhī-chù	最后 zuìhòu = 'final, last'. 的 de = connecting particle 隐藏 yǐncáng = 'to hide'. 之 zhī = connecting particle 处 chù = 'place'.	Final hiding place
Chinese (Taiwan)	最後一個藏匿地點 Zuìhòu yīgè cángnì dìdiǎn	最後 zuìhòu = 'last'. 一個 yīgè = 'one'. 藏匿 cángnì = 'to hide'. 地點 dìdiǎn = 'place'.	A last hiding place
Japanese	最後の隠し場所 Saigo no kakushi-basho	最後 saigo = 'last'. の no = connecting particle 隠し kakushi = 'hiding', from the intransitive verb 隠す kakusu 'to hide'. 場所 basho = 'place'.	The last hiding place
Vietnamese	Chỗ giấu cuối cùng	chỗ = 'place'. giấu = 'to hide'. cuối cùng = 'last, final'.	The last hiding place

This is the Hogshead in Honeymeade. Compare this with Chapter 9, A Place to Hide. Particularly notable is the fact that most of the translations switch from an intransitive verb 'to hide (oneself)' to a transitive verb 'to hide (something)'.
