anonymoose Posted April 10, 2009 at 03:39 PM Report Posted April 10, 2009 at 03:39 PM We've all been thinking about how to translate 'concerned', but what about 'river'? How do we know it's a 河? It might be a 江, or even a 溪 or 川 or something. Quote
dalaowai Posted April 10, 2009 at 05:45 PM Report Posted April 10, 2009 at 05:45 PM I figure it's gotta be a 河, seeing that 江s aren't very personable, 溪s are too small to care and 川s tend to "go with the flow" and are seldom concerned about anything. ;) Quote

Guoke Posted April 11, 2009 at 03:39 AM Report Posted April 11, 2009 at 03:39 AM Me? The winner? Wow, thanks! I had to pinch myself to make sure it's not a dream. I wasn't even serious. I just thought it was kind of cute...... ...... anyway, 我要感谢我的父母，我的老师......:lol: Quote
