philipbeckwith Posted November 17, 2017 at 05:28 PM Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 at 05:28 PM Hi Everyone, I know a person who says "smile every chance you get" as a catch phrase. I would like to say it in a natural way yet simple. Below is my try. Any suggestions? 你每次有机会，微笑一下 Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipbeckwith Posted November 18, 2017 at 05:00 PM Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 at 05:00 PM Hey thanks! I haven't used 即 that way, but it seems like it could work. I like the conciseness of it. A Chinese friend suggested 有机会，你就微笑一下. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted November 18, 2017 at 06:20 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 at 06:20 PM I like @Jim's effort, the four character format make it seem a bit like a chengyu 成语。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
