13 | You are my little little apple How much I love you, still not enough Red smile warms my heart Light my life's fire fire fire fire fire | Paoma keliko ianao Ny haben'ny fitiavako anao, tsy mbola ampy Tsiky mena midorehitra manafàna ny foko Mandrehitra ny afo afo afo afon'ny fiainako |
14 | You are my little little apple Like the most beautiful clouds in the sky Spring comes again Flowers are in full bloom on a mountain slope Planted hope will reap | Paoma keliko ianao Toy ireo rahona tsara tarehy indrindra eny amin'ny lanitra Tonga indray ny lohataona. Ao anatin'ny fotoam-pivelarany ireo voninkazo eny an-tehezan-tendrombohitra Ho tanteraka ireo fanantenana novolena. |

17 | Perhaps the most well known one is a spoof of Kim Jong-Um - the North Korean leader's face along with Osama Bin Laden's and U.S. President Barack Obama's are superimposed onto existing footage of dancers. | Angamba ny iray fanta-bahoaka indrindra amin'ireny dia ny fisariana adàla amin'ny anaran'i Kim Jong-Um - ilay mpitarika an'i Korea Avaratra miaraka amin'ny lohan'i Osama Bin Laden sy ny an'ny Barrack Obama, filoha amerikana ataingina eo ambonin'ny an'ireo mpandihy misy ao anatin'ilay lahatsary. |
18 | The video, which was made by a Chinese web user, reportedly angered North Korea. | Voalaza fa nanafintohina an'i Korea Avaratra ilay lahatsary, izay Shinoa mpiserasera anaty aterineto no namokatra azy. |

23 | As for the Chinese military's version, most of the comments on social media point out that the armed forces' intention is to create a cute soldier image to appeal to young people. | Fa ho an'ilay dika nataon'ny tafika Shinoa indray, ny ankamaroan'ireo fanehoankevitra ao amin'ny media sosialy dia manipika fa mba hamoronana endrika miaramila mahafatifaty ka hiantsoana ny tanora hiditra ao amin'ny tafika no tian'ny mpitandro filaminana hahatongavana amin'ilay izy. |
24 | It is still difficult to tell whether the strategy is effective, but it reflects how Chinese political propaganda authorities are desperate to find a way to connect with younger generations. | Mbola sarotra ny hilaza hoe nahomby na tsia ilay tetika, saingy asehon'io kosa hoe hatraiza ny hakivian'ireo Shinoa manampahefana ara-politika mpanao fampielezankevitra tamin'ny tsy nahitàny fomba hakàna ny fon'ireo andian-taranaka tanora. |
