Benjamin Tan Posted May 5, 2012 at 02:13 PM Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 at 02:13 PM 1)This one sounds weird, are you sure these are the words spoken? 2) This one is a bit rude, the literal meaning is something like 'you talk crap', it's just used to shut someone up. 3) 人命关天 means related to someone's life or death, usually describing something extremely urgent or important， more appropriately describing something pertaining to someone losing his/her life.

I am discussing with others now. By the way, I am a native Chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
