jie2li4 Posted January 24, 2007 at 02:14 PM Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 at 02:14 PM These phrases are from someone's blog I was reading. I can't quite figure out what they're trying to say... Could someone help me out? 冷艷成熟 夜夜笙歌 淫逸奢侈 讓我眼淚直接奪眶而出 我真是造孽 Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koneko Posted January 24, 2007 at 11:29 PM Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 at 11:29 PM 冷艷成熟 [lit. cold, glamorous, mature] reserved yet glamorous and mature 夜夜笙歌 playing and singing every night 淫逸奢侈 to spend wastefully 讓我眼淚直接奪眶而出 [lit. let my tears directly force frame out] tears stream down my cheeks 我真是造孽 I am really sinful K.

jie2li4 Posted January 25, 2007 at 07:31 AM Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 at 07:31 AM Sorry, just one more question: 她大姊已經筋疲力盡了一個上午 把自己搞成醬還處罰自己從台北車站走到善導寺 何必？ What does 大姊 mean here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koneko Posted January 25, 2007 at 08:25 AM Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 at 08:25 AM 大姊 [lit. big sister] Elder sister K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jie2li4 Posted January 25, 2007 at 01:53 PM Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 at 01:53 PM Well, I know it means big sister, but it seemed strange in this context because the person being referred to is the speaker's mother. It's clear that the person who had "已經筋疲力盡了一個上午" is none other than the speaker's mother. Could 大姊 be used as kind of a general term to refer to older women as well?
