JunXiong Posted January 13, 2008 at 05:28 PM Report Posted January 13, 2008 at 05:28 PM Could someone help me to translate the following ? 世界电影之旅:非同一般的演员尼古拉斯-凯奇 What is the exact meaning of 一般 ?

Lu Posted January 14, 2008 at 01:02 PM Report Posted January 14, 2008 at 01:02 PM 一 般 觉 得Generally, I think... or Generally, it is thought...一 般 喜 欢I usually like... but I think it can also mean you kind of like it, but not spectacularly so.非同一般 means 'is not the same as ordinary', thus extraordinary.

SWWLiu Posted March 6, 2008 at 03:34 AM Report Posted March 6, 2008 at 03:34 AM ... how could we translate in English 一 般 觉 得 or 一 般 喜 欢。。。 ? These two "fragments" sound very incomplete to me. I think you will have trouble making full sentences with them. Could you try to give examples of how you want to use them? Quote
monto Posted March 6, 2008 at 08:42 AM Report Posted March 6, 2008 at 08:42 AM With the good answers already given, what left for me to do seems to only add a word 一般般 of spoken Chinese, meaning "just so so" Quote
