imron Posted July 3, 2015 at 07:04 AM Report Posted July 3, 2015 at 07:04 AM Not really. If you can provide more context, I'm sure someone can provide you with a suitable translation for what you want. Quote
New Members MCJJ1210 Posted July 3, 2015 at 08:19 AM New Members Report Posted July 3, 2015 at 08:19 AM Yeah,anonoymoose are right."Only Opportunity" means "唯一的机会" Quote
edelweis Posted July 3, 2015 at 08:47 AM Report Posted July 3, 2015 at 08:47 AM English is not my first language. So I am wondering whether this sentence is correct in English (perhaps it lacks an article ?) and what would be the Chinese translation: Only opportunity is missing, I have everything else: skill, finances etc. Quote

889 Posted July 3, 2015 at 02:11 PM Report Posted July 3, 2015 at 02:11 PM Skylee has given you a very elegant translation. If you want something more colloquial, then try a phrase like “我只缺乏机会” ("I only lack opportunity.") 2 Quote
edelweis Posted July 3, 2015 at 03:15 PM Report Posted July 3, 2015 at 03:15 PM I see, thank you both. Quote
