webmagnets Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:02 AM Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:02 AM I would like to know how to say "two-timer" Nciku suggests - 欺骗配偶的人 but I am looking for something that indicates betrayal AND the fact that there are two choices for the person to make. a two-timer needs to make up his mind. he needs to make a choice.

Artem Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:09 AM Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:09 AM How about: 爱情不专一的人 Let me know if that expresses what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webmagnets Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:12 AM Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:12 AM I am not sure. Do you "have" anything with "liǎng" in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webmagnets Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:14 AM Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:14 AM Does this make sense: "Ni rènshi guo yí ge yǒu liǎng ge nǚpéngyou de rén ma?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artem Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:18 AM Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:18 AM How about 脚踏两只船? Though that's not really two-timing, more like being indecisive between two things, but in context it could mean two-time. Yeah, that would be "Have you met a person who has two girlfriends?" 你认识过一个有两个女朋友的人吗？ in this case liang3 两 is two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artem Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:40 AM Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 at 12:40 AM No problem I've heard and used both ways before, so I'm not sure which would be more common. I don't often discuss those kind of matters in Chinese, to be honest. Maybe a native person can comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpkinlily Posted January 4, 2010 at 03:05 AM Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 at 03:05 AM it is 脚踏两条船 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semantic nuance Posted January 4, 2010 at 05:21 AM Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 at 05:21 AM Or more of colloquial: 劈腿 (two-timing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
