creamyhorror Posted July 25, 2011 at 01:52 AM Report Posted July 25, 2011 at 01:52 AM [完全干净的孩子] [女巫] [嗅上去] [最臭] = [topic-OBJECT: completely clean children] [sUBJECT: witches] [VERB: smell (them)] ["descriptive/resultative"*: were most smelly] = Completely clean children - when witches smelled them, they were the most smelly = To witches, completely clean children stank the most. * Note: made-up term. It's the result of the 'smell' verb. You can think of it as [完全干净的孩子] [女巫嗅上去(就觉得他们)最臭]. Quote
