Strawberries513 Posted July 4, 2007 at 01:04 PM Report Posted July 4, 2007 at 01:04 PM I recently purchased a "dream sheild" from a Native American. I want to give it as a present to my host family in Beijing. However, I would like to include some info in Chinese about what it is. So if someone here could translate the following for me (leaving the words in bold in English) that would be wonderful!! "This is a mandella. It is believed to be a good luck charm and thought to bring their owners prosperity, health, and happiness. It was made by the Blackfoot Native Americans. They call it a dreamshield and in their culture is a shield against bad dreams." Sorry, I know thats alot, but I dont want to give them this item and have no explaination for it. Thank you Quote
ChineseSpeaker Posted July 4, 2007 at 01:59 PM Report Posted July 4, 2007 at 01:59 PM 这份礼物名叫 mandella。人们认为它代表着一种关怀和祝福，祝福它的主人好运连连、幸福安康、万事如意。这份礼物由美国的土著 Blackfoot 人制作，他们将它称为“梦盾（dreamshield）”。在他们的文化里面，梦盾是一种能够使人免受噩梦之扰的盾牌。 Quote
