Daan Posted December 17, 2009 at 03:14 PM Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 at 03:14 PM Some random and liberal suggestions: 一个女孩子，荒郊野外拦车，你知不知道“危险”这两个字怎么写？ You're girl, and you're going hitchhiking in such a desolate area all alone? Do you even know what the word "dangerous" means?! Going hitchhiking all alone in the middle of nowhere...girl, if that's not the definition of dangerous I don't know what is! 文明礼貌，自觉排队 Please queue in an orderly fashion.

Kenny同志 Posted December 18, 2009 at 05:19 AM Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 at 05:19 AM Thanks Daan. I am impressed, especially by the first translation. It is indeed a job well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted December 18, 2009 at 05:39 AM Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 at 05:39 AM If you're going to use it in a translation however, you should use "you're a girl..." or "you're female..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny同志 Posted December 18, 2009 at 05:43 AM Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 at 05:43 AM yeah, Imron. In fact, the first sentence is a movieline, which I find very interesting, so I am curious how would you say that in English and Daan did a great job.

Daan Posted December 18, 2009 at 06:54 AM Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 at 06:54 AM Oops, there should obviously have been an article there. Should have checked more carefully after modifying my translation. Thanks for pointing that out, imron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
