monto Posted March 22, 2008 at 10:14 AM Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 at 10:14 AM Usually we say 岁月不留情 or 岁月无情 （literally nean "Years and months have no mercy" . Actually 岁月 means "time". So I'd rather say 岁月不留情 or 岁月无情 means "Time and tide wait for no man", but a little bit stronger in the emotion. The exact equivalant of "Time and tide wait for no man" is “时不我待” When we hear of 岁月不留人，it get more serious, we would automatically think that someone is quite old and might dye at any momont. There is also an expression, 岁月不饶人，almost the same meaning as 岁月不留情 or 岁月无情. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
