A Ph.D. in astronomy named 艾 AA had discovered the planets around DX3906.
DX3906的行星是一位名叫艾AA的博士生发现的。

Note: There is a discrepancy in the introduction of the character between the Chinese edition and the English translation. In the Chinese version, she is credited with discovering the planet DX3906 itself(DX3906的行星), but the English translation describes her discovery as "the planets around DX3906." This adjustment in the English version likely stems from a logical consistency within the narrative, as the planet was already acknowledged to exist.

삼체 3. 사신의 영생

👉 Note that the English edition of the book adopts a more interpretative approach, focusing on the broader implications of Say's character and her influence, rather than the literal details. In the Chinese version, the text is more direct and explicit in its dialogue: Luo Ji recalls that Say was a beautiful woman. Cheng Xin remembers her whispering into her ear after a presentation, complimenting her on having a beautiful voice. (Even when she makes her first appearance in the 2nd book, some descriptions are either omitted or altered in the English translation. I'm not a big fan of translators taking too many liberties.)

The Korean edition closely follows the Chinese version.

三体 3. 死神永生:

附在她耳边轻轻说：“你的声音很好听。”
“那也是个美人，这些年我也常想起她。"

Book 3. Death's End:

Say walked next to Cheng Xin, leaned in, and whispered, “We need more people to think like you.”
“She was a true visionary."

“You’re still living for your responsibility,” Sophon said.
“Don’t worry,” she said to her two human friends. “As long as I’m alive, no harm will come to you.”

The Korean Edition translates the first sentence into "박사님에겐 살아야 할 책임이 있어요," which is somewhat off from the original and sounds corny. In fact, the original means just the opposite. In this case, the English edition is more faithful to the original text.
