accspy Posted November 8, 2011 at 06:48 AM Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 at 06:48 AM I hope you can help me translating the following phrase into English: 一张相片都没传 竟有我这么多的我 Since I'm still an absolute newbie at Mandarin, I have the same problem with this sentence that I face with so many others. I know the single words but I can not make out the complete meaning of the sentence. First of all, it is not taken from a special context... it stands on its own. If I would have to take a wild guess, I'd say it means something like "A picture/photo does not show entirely what I really am." (or: "A photo does not show as much of me as I am.") Of course I'm pretty sure that I'm entirely wrong. Any help is appreachiated...thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creamyhorror Posted November 8, 2011 at 09:25 AM Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 at 09:25 AM This doesn't look like a particularly useful "sentence" for a newbie to be trying to learn. For one, it lacks a lot of context, and it's also unpunctuated and may even be ungrammatical. It looks like a line from a song. You can try to force an interpretation, but I would classify this sort of sentence as "noise" for a language learner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accspy Posted November 8, 2011 at 09:28 AM Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 at 09:28 AM It is actually a Facebook status message from my best friend (she's Chinese). I would ask her what it means, but we had some trouble and I'm afraid this message is related to me. I was expecting a reply like that (missing content, hard to understand) - but still, is there a chance to filter out a basic idea or at least some clue out of this "mess"?
