youreskimofriend Posted June 21, 2012 at 08:51 PM Report Posted June 21, 2012 at 08:51 PM Hey! Here is a sentence that I do get in Chinese but I have trouble bringing it over to English: 还麻烦你跑一趟 I am especially unsure about the tone that the 还 sets here. Thanks again! Quote
skylee Posted June 22, 2012 at 12:19 AM Report Posted June 22, 2012 at 12:19 AM I guess it means, on top of all the other troubles (the context which was not given in #1), you also need to take the trouble to run this errand (or whatever the 跑一趟 refers to). 2 Quote
xiaocai Posted June 22, 2012 at 01:32 AM Report Posted June 22, 2012 at 01:32 AM It may be similar to 还请 in 还请诸位多多包含. Once again, I think it will be helpful if the context is provided. 1 Quote

creamyhorror Posted June 22, 2012 at 07:11 AM Report Posted June 22, 2012 at 07:11 AM 还麻烦你跑一趟 = "[what's more, I] even had/have to trouble you to go/come/run around another time (I'm really sorry about that)" 还 is basically "even/what's more" here. 2 Quote
