Student chiq Posted November 18, 2010 at 03:51 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 at 03:51 PM Is this correct translation? Does this make sense? I translated it myself and I just want someone who is fluent in mandarin to correct this for me. Peter offers Meihua a lift home. As they walk to the car, she asks him why he doesn’t buy a car. Peter answered that having a car may be convenient but it involves spending a lot of money. Peter’s sister just bought a car for herself but she still catches the bus when she goes to the city for work. She said that there’s too much traffic especially during peak hour she goes to work and when she finishes. Peter提供给meihua开车回家。 当他们走向车时, 她问他为什么自己不买车? Peter回答了,虽然有车很方便,需要花太多的钱。 Peter的姐妹刚为自己买一辆车。但是当她去城市上班时,她依然做公共汽车。她说来回工作时车太多,特别是高峰期。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted November 19, 2010 at 08:17 AM Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 at 08:17 AM Sorry I am a little confused. Who owns the car that Peter is going to drive, if Peter does not own a car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbradfor Posted November 19, 2010 at 03:37 PM Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 at 03:37 PM Maybe it's Peter's sister's car, since she's taking the bus today B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
