Why is chocolate also called chocolate?
Chocolate is a popular Cantonese transliteration in Cantonese, not the so-called "old translation". The main difference between it and Mandarin pronunciation is that Mandarin often has a curly tongue on the chocolate "cho", while southerners are not used to doing it. Therefore, it was replaced by a relatively flat (Cantonese) "Zhu".

Wu Tiantian and others are pure nonsense! ! ! It says "Chocolate is closer to English pronunciation". On the contrary. Zhu Guli is closer to English in pronunciation, because Cantonese is not the direct language of Chinese, but the ancient Vietnamese which is constantly sinicized, while the latter (ancient Vietnamese) is closer to the Indo-European language family, and the former (Chinese) is the Sino-Tibetan language family. From the pronunciation of "late", it can be concluded that "forced" in Cantonese is closer to the pronunciation of "late", while "forced" in Mandarin is quite different.
