Fred0 Posted September 26, 2017 at 05:33 PM Report Posted September 26, 2017 at 05:33 PM What does 唬喜爱脸来 mean? A face like a tiger's roar? A scary face? A face that loves to scare? Quote
Publius Posted September 26, 2017 at 05:47 PM Report Posted September 26, 2017 at 05:47 PM Where did you see this? I can only imagine it as a typo for 唬下臉來 (hu xia+i lian lai). If that is the case, then it means 拉下臉來、沉下臉來. Quote
Fred0 Posted September 26, 2017 at 06:06 PM Author Report Posted September 26, 2017 at 06:06 PM Brilliant conjecture, Publius. The sentence is translated, "He frowned." So am I correct that 拉下脸来，and 沉下脸来，along with 唬下脸来, all mean "frowning?" Quote
Publius Posted September 26, 2017 at 10:38 PM Report Posted September 26, 2017 at 10:38 PM 'Frown' is okay I guess. Without context I cannot say whether it is the most accurate. It is a stern face. 1 Quote
Fred0 Posted September 26, 2017 at 11:00 PM Author Report Posted September 26, 2017 at 11:00 PM "Stern face" works well in the context. Thanks very much. Quote
