Talking about Breaking Bad

"Breaking records" is an English idiom, which means repeating the same thing or doing the same thing over and over again, and "Sister Xianglin" is a character in China's literary works who repeats her tragic experience over and over again. Therefore, translating "broken records" into "Xianglinsao" is a visual expression, which means repeating one's own tragic experience, just like Xianglinsao.

In episode 13 of Breaking Bad, Jesse said this idiom because he felt that he and the people around him were repeating the same mistakes, just like Sister Xianglin. Therefore, translating "Breaking the Record" into "Sister Xianglin" can better express Jesse's meaning and let the audience understand the feelings and thoughts of this character more deeply.
