renzhe Posted June 26, 2009 at 09:59 PM Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 at 09:59 PM Give us some context. On its own, I'd say it's "the dream (that was dreamt)" and "the mistake that was made". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylee Posted June 27, 2009 at 12:05 AM Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 at 12:05 AM 作的夢 ~ the dream that one dreamt / dreams 犯的錯 ~ the mistake(s) caused (by restlessness) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted June 27, 2009 at 05:16 PM Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 at 05:16 PM Meaning of the sentences: 1. 作的梦虽然远远的 = Although the dream I had has long gone 2. 说谎伤害都是不安犯的错 = I lied to you and hurt you, only because I felt insecure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagilogo1 Posted June 27, 2009 at 06:24 PM Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 at 06:24 PM 1. 作的梦虽然远远的 = Although the dream I had has long gone The 作的 as I understand means 'that I had'. Is it not a mistake to say 作的食物 meaning 'the food I have made' ? 2. 说谎伤害都是不安犯的错 = I lied to you and hurt you, only because I felt insecure 不安犯的错 - as I understand 'insecurity' is a better translation than 'restlessness' in this example, and the 犯的错 part is not included in your translation because it is trivial as in "lying and hurting is 'something' caused by my feeling of insecurity" where 'something' can be removed from the sentence without changing the meaning of it.

renzhe Posted June 28, 2009 at 11:07 AM Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 at 11:07 AM You can say "做的饭", because 做饭 is a set phrase, just like 做梦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted June 28, 2009 at 11:35 AM Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 at 11:35 AM (edited) @ sagilogo1: the assumptions in your questions are correct. Translations by different people can vary because of the context we imagine when we translate.
