Hello, hello! I am looking to translate a poem (of sorts) for my online jewelry store, www.cinsummer.com I am integrating an intro page that will have the poem displayed in many different languages and I want to be sure the Cantonese translation is correct, because I do not have a proper keyboard for the symbols, this is a difficult task for me. Your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Text to be translated:

You stop.

You like it,

It´s beautiful.

You ponder,

you wonder.

You explore

There is no such thing as a "chinese keyboard"/proper symbols. I assume you want standard written chinese and not something in cantonese colloquial or slang?

Oh, I'm sorry for my ignorance! That is exactly why I needed help. and please pardon my lack of knowledge again, but will the standard written Chinese be the most recognizable and cultural format? If so, yes, that is what I am looking for.

thank you!

Well poems don't follow standard sentence grammar rules in English, how about:

你 停止

你 喜欢

是 美丽

你 考虑

你 奇迹

你 探索

but best to get another opinion from someone who is actually good at writing :)

'wonder' here actually has two different meanings.

one is miracle。这是名词

the other meaning is 'think deeply' . 动词

clearly here it's mean 思考 or 冥想

best regards
