Hi everyone,

I'm a composer of a piece of music that I expect to premiere in China later this year. The English title is "Get In", as in something a driver might say to his passenger before a wild ride, a general phrase announcing the start of an adventure, etc.

Is there an expression in Chinese that captures the feeling of this? I thought of 请坐, but that feels terribly off. 坐坐吧 is a bit better. Any ideas?

Chinese people generally like fancy titles, so a direct translation of "Get In" might get you a puzzled look.

You should try to find some line from an old poem or a literary idiom that suggests the same sense of excitement for your title, like 人间正道是沧桑 or something.

Second imron's translation; the others have nothing to do with a car.
