Pedroski Posted September 26, 2014 at 04:18 AM Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 at 04:18 AM 女的:谢谢夸奖!我们经营服装已经很多年,花色品种很多。有您喜欢的样式吗? Is '花色品种' one word or two words? I look up 花色 = variety, design and colour, 品种 = breed, variety. So is it 'variety variety' = 'variety' or 'design and colour variety' or something completely different?

skylee Posted September 26, 2014 at 04:27 AM Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 at 04:27 AM Your interpretation is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceancalligraphy Posted September 26, 2014 at 04:42 AM Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 at 04:42 AM Since the sentence is about clothing, in this case 花色品種 would be more along the lines of design and color variety. 花色 is referring to the fabric (with different patterns and colors), while 品種 is referring to different types or styles of clothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedroski Posted September 26, 2014 at 07:28 AM Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 at 07:28 AM So maybe this is: 我们经营服装已经很多年,花色品种很多. We have been in the clothing business for many years, we have many different colours, patterns and styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted September 26, 2014 at 07:35 AM Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 at 07:35 AM I would avoid repeating 'many' in the English as it sounds awkward to have it twice so close together. Maybe something like '... and have a large selection of colours, patterns and styles' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
