马盖云 Posted April 17, 2011 at 01:31 AM Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 at 01:31 AM 你依然正在远避我吗？ ni3 yi1ran4 zheng4zai4 yuan3bi4 wo3 ma? This is my best guess based on limited information given. Is this shunning more of an emotional or physical avoidance? What did you do to this poor girl? We need to know these details! BTW, Pinyin has no 'g' in it (pingyin). And the numbers represent the tones, in case you are not familiar with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristotle1990 Posted April 17, 2011 at 01:41 AM Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 at 01:41 AM Probably the simplest way to say it is 你还在回避我吗？nǐ hái zài huíbì wǒ ma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted April 17, 2011 at 01:46 AM Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 at 01:46 AM Ha, in my case it seems a more appropriate sentence would be 你爲甚麽不回答我啊？because, you know, everybody was curious and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imron Posted April 17, 2011 at 02:47 AM Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 at 02:47 AM And the numbers represent the tones There are better options than that And to bring things on-topic, I would go for: 你还是不理我吗？nǐ háishi bù lǐ wǒ ma?

Kenny同志 Posted April 17, 2011 at 03:09 AM Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 at 03:09 AM two other alternatives 你还在躲我吗？ 你是不是还在躲我？ 回避 and 躲 are very similar in meaning, but there are subtleties that are hard to tell. As a native speaker, I prefer 躲 to 回避. I made some sentences that you may find helpful in your understanding the subtleties. 天蓝，我知道你是个好律师，也相信你的专业操守，但是被告是你朋友，所以，我认为你最好还是回避(躲 is not desired here))一下，这样对你们都有好处。 Tianlan, I know for a fact you are a good lawyer and principled professional but as the defendant is your friend, I think it will be good for both of you if you stay out of this case. 不要回避(躲 doesn’t sound good here)我的问题。 Answer my question. Don’t shun my question. 回避现实 Be an ostrich 甲乙两人有些矛盾，但都是丙的好朋友。一日，甲拜访丙，两人聊天时，突然听到乙在门外说话的声音，这时，甲对丙说：“他来了，我还是回避（躲 is not desired here）一下，免得大家见了尴尬。” A and B have some misunderstanding but both are C’s friends. One day, A paid a visit to C and when they were shooting the breeze they heard B talking outside the door. “He’ll be here”, said A to C upon hearing B, “so to avoid embarrassment, I’d better excuse myself now (to go to another room and stay there or leave the house to shun B ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
