我跟你拼了 And Its Translation

[Kenny同志]

鄙人才疏学浅，故此特来请教方家。

How do you say 我跟你拼了 in English？

先行谢过。

[Guoke]

I'll fight it out with you.

（别太相信我，我的中英文都很烂）

"才疏学浅", oooh, that's a good phrase for me. Maybe I should get that as a tattoo? But in traditional, of course.

多谢过客兄指点。

Use it as a tattoo? haha, sounds funny.

Doesn't 拼 here stand for 拼命? To me, it implies a battle to the death, when someone is really angry.

You got it. But how do you say this in English? It's usually used by someone, especially a person who is smaller or weaker when he or she is furious with bullying or injustice.

I can't think of a 100% accurate translation, unfortunately.

Thanks all the same. I know it's a challenging translation.

I'm not sure either but somehow it reminds me of "我要揍你", in English often expressed as "I'll go you!"

"我要揍你"less than “我和你拼了", maybe"拼命三郎" more suitable

How would 大不了就拼了 be translated into English?

[tooironic]

@Gavin yang: What do you mean "less than"?

@anonymoose: I suppose you could translate 大不了就拼了 as "I'll risk my life if worst comes to worst."
