New Members weshdim Posted June 29, 2011 at 07:13 AM New Members Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 at 07:13 AM Friends, came across this sentence: 你写相声有问题，可以来问我。 How does it translate? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted June 29, 2011 at 08:45 PM Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 at 08:45 PM Literal: "you wrote dialog has problems, can come ask me" In other words: "The dialog you wrote has some issues, please come talk to me about it."

imron Posted June 29, 2011 at 10:10 PM Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 at 10:10 PM I would think of it more like: If you have any problems when writing Xiangsheng*, you can come and ask me. *don't really like the translation "cross-talk", and "dialog" doesn't really do it justice.

creamyhorror Posted June 30, 2011 at 12:42 AM Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 at 12:42 AM Since 可以 is used, the first part of the sentence contains an implied 如果： 你写相声[如果]有问题，可以来问我。 so imron's translation is right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
