Short chinese-english translation

[marskramer14]

Hello people,

Yesterday I got back from an amazing study trip to Shanghai.

I met some Chinese students there and short before I was leaving one of them brought me a postcard to the hostel.

I was still asleep at the time and shy and polite as Chinese girls are she would not awake me

So she just left the postcard white the Chinese text "Zhù wá shì rú yì. xiaò koù cháng kài"

I would ask her for a translation, but I lost my cellphone with her contact information during my flight back home Dx

so it's gone be a while before I got my phone or her e-mail back.

So could anyone pleas translate it for me?

Hopefully things will go as you plan, (and that ) there is always a smile on your face.

Well thats my attempt at translating it and putting it into common English.

Zhù wá shì rú yì

I suppose it should be wan4 not wa2. Probably a typo.

Lol, i read it as wan, didn't even notice that it was missing "n".

For "xiaò koù cháng kài", you assumed 笑口常開? I guess getting the tones right on 2 out of 4 isn't bad.... Much better guess that I was able to think of.

mars, if you want my advice, get right back on that plane to Shanghai.

[mr.demoman]

haha, welcome back to Shanghai then

For "xiaò koù cháng kài", you assumed 笑口常開?

Are you talking to me or Skylee? If me...

Yeah. The first 2.5 years i spent learning Chinese was all pinyin, and also i assumed it was going to be something nice. Those 2 things and a bit of luck on my first thought probably lead to that.

I would any day! I really fell in love with the city and the people.

I'm from The Netherlands and now I'm back home everything is cold, quiet and boring <_<

I'm thinking about doing my final internship in Shanghai now!

Thanks for the translation all! Maybe sometime I'll ask you people to translate something form English to Chinese, so I can write back to miss cuteness

But I still haven't found any contact information back
