So should I be changing mandarin studies for Klingon?

Changye: Many thanks, I tried a dictionary but it really did not give me that clear a definition。
SkyFx: You need to watch 星际旅行 klingons are the enemy alien race (at least in the original series). I'd love to know if you can get 普通话 versions of this....that would be cool.

Dubbed and subtitled versions of Star Trek are available on tudou.com. I admire the translators' efforts, since the subtitles are an amateur effort, produced mostly by (unemployed?) young people who collaborate over the Internet. Obviously the dubbed versions are put out by the studios and companies.
