translation for a message

[rezaf]

someone sent me this message:"我初十返沪再联系你。“

1-Does she mean 初时？

2-Is the translation "I will contact you as soon as I come back to Shanghai"?

[skylee]

The translation is - I will contact you again after I have returned to Shanghai on the 10th day of the first month of the lunar new year.

初十 means the 10th day of the first month of the lunar new year, i.e. 16.2.2008.

translation for a massage

awe shucks, I thought this was gonna be along the lines of do you provide happy endings and such massage terminology...That would have boosted the forums site hits. First red envelope monkey and now massage translation. But I guess I shouldn't be the one making jokes about spelling...unless I actually start spell checking my own posts which likely won't happen:mrgreen:

Dude

Message

Massage

Quite different words

[self-taught-mba]

Ah shucks.

With the question already answered and the ambiguity already removed the only thing that's left is for us Board pundits to do is speculate about the juicy thread that never was.

[gougou]

Changed the title to prevent any further disappointments.

[self-taught-mba]

gougou, come on! Let us run with it for a while. We're just getting started here.

[huisheng]

Nah, even if the topic is about massage, it's juicy only when you want it to be.

:oops:my english is rusty, what can i say, apart from this forum i have never used english in any other situations.

No worries. No one is laughing at your English. Just having fun with words. English is hard to learn and anyone that uses it that well already deserves a medal in my book. Please don't be shy about posting. Sorry if we offended you.

Same here, having fun with words and showing ya some tough love too! Plus now you'll probably remember the correct way to spell message and massage in the future:mrgreen: So make sure to keep the posts comin', spelled correctly or not!!
