Hi there,

plz look at this joke translation.. I will be grateful if you correct it.

小孩儿在住宅疾驰着呢, 从餐具橱扔下书着呢, 撒开衣服着呢, 椅子推倒着呢…

保姆跑进和问他着呢:

- 你作什么吗?

- 我玩耍呢.

- 哪玩耍吗?

- «他妈的! 哪里我车的钥匙!!»

Here is the english version of above:

A little boy rushes about the flat, drops down books from the sideboard, scatters clothes, throws over chairs…

Baby-sitter comes running and asks him:

- What are you doing?

- I’m playing the game.

- Which game?

- “Where are those damn car keys!!”

one question at start..

To indicate the continuing state of action i am to use 着 or 呢 or both? and in which part of the sentence? after every verb or in the end of sentence?

Thanx

according to the english version, here is my translation.

一个小男孩在房间里乱跑,把餐柜上的书掉到地上,把衣服撒的到处都是,还把椅子翻到在地...

保姆跑进来问他:

你在做什么?

我在玩游戏。

什么游戏?

那些该死的车钥匙在哪里?

p.s.着and呢不能乱用。

Thanx! (ohh, my translation looks too bad) :wall

some questions..

1. 玩耍 looks unnatural? or it is not in use?

2. 我在玩游戏 here 在 means 'here'? is this a MUST to say?

3. you did not use neither 着 nor 呢 - is it unnecessary here to indicate continuing state of action? Where is it useful?

Thanx alot

玩耍is used to describe sth,more written.

在 is a mark for present tense.Better use it.

着is used right after a verb for a continuing state of action , e.g. 看着,听着 so you can't use it after 扔。I'm not sure that 呢 has such indication.
