trungyy Posted November 7, 2007 at 07:22 AM Author Report Posted November 7, 2007 at 07:22 AM How about then translating "brother sister hood" in chinese for a tattoo? Quote
HashiriKata Posted November 7, 2007 at 10:43 AM Report Posted November 7, 2007 at 10:43 AM How about then translating "brother sister hood" in chinese for a tattoo? Try 兄肥弟瘦 ( it's an idiom meaning "profound fraternal love") Quote
studentyoung Posted November 8, 2007 at 01:32 AM Report Posted November 8, 2007 at 01:32 AM Try 兄肥弟瘦 ( it's an idiom meaning "profound fraternal love") Sorry, but 兄肥弟瘦 is seldom used in daily life and might cause misunderstanding,too. (呵呵，不过HarshiriKata 的书是读不少的了，连这么个冷僻的成语都挖出来了。) How about then translating "brother sister hood" in chinese for a tattoo? We usually say "兄弟同心，其利断金" to express a close fratemal tie. How about take 兄弟同心 as a tattoo? Cheers! Quote

HashiriKata Posted November 8, 2007 at 09:16 AM Report Posted November 8, 2007 at 09:16 AM Sorry, but 兄肥弟瘦 is seldom used in daily life and might cause misunderstanding,too.studentyoung is right. For those who may wonder what the phrase really means, here's the story I found on the internet:《后汉书·赵孝传》：天下大乱时，人相食。赵孝的弟弟被饥饿的盗贼抓住备食用。赵孝闻之自缚后对贼说：我弟弟挨饿已久，太瘦，不如我肥，你吃我吧。”贼闻此言大惊失色，赶忙将赵孝的弟弟放掉了。 Quote
karen Posted November 12, 2007 at 05:15 AM Report Posted November 12, 2007 at 05:15 AM how about 爱相随（be the love with you)? The love could be very general, for galfriends or family... 楼上的中文程度真是赞啊！ Quote
heifeng Posted November 12, 2007 at 11:35 AM Report Posted November 12, 2007 at 11:35 AM How about then translating "brother sister hood" in chinese for a tattoo? 兄弟 姐妹 帽子 Well, since we like to be so anal (and sarcastic) lets make the last one 连帽子 (哇哈哈哇哈哈哇哈哈哇哈哈哇哈哈哇哈哈~don't include the sinister laugh though) or you could just get 兄 on one shoulder and 弟 on the other like I said before....That seems short and sweet to me....
