A few random translation requests


Recommended Posts

Posted

斜陽 means "sunset" but can you reverse it to "陽 斜" to make 斜 a verb "sun setting"? If not, how would you translate "sun sets" (using "sets" as a verb)?

Also, as to the use of 追 as a verb, does it only apply to like a horse running, or can a 鳥 "追" as well?

And can 行 mean "rows", as in 雙行 (two rows)?

Consider 日落.

Re 行, yes.

Not sure what the question is regarding 追.

"追" is a verb, meaning "chase, pursue" so it can go with any subject that can perform this act.
