請勿使用在他站相同的帳號和密碼

[82riceballs]

I read this sentence while trying to make an account on a website:

請勿使用在他站相同的帳號和密碼

I think the gist of this means: Please do not use the same account ID and password as "在他站"??? What does this mean?

Thanks!

Probably a mistake and my guess would be something along the lines of 占用 and 其他 and somewhere in between there is a combination of those that got messed up???? :shrug

THanx!

[chenpv]

站 is short for 站点（儿）, a casual way to refer to 'website'. So the Chinese sentence goes: Please do not use the same ID and password for other websites.

[muyongshi]

And it makes so much more sense! :shrugs again

@chenpv- thanks so much!

@muyongshi- that's okay, pal!

在他站 at other websites

[roddy]

Yeah, 他 as in 其他 rather than as in 他们- see also 他国，他人 - other countries, other people.

[nipponman]

Funny thing is, even though I study Japanese as well--which uses 他 in this function exclusively--I still had trouble figuring it out.
