woshilara Posted February 16, 2019 at 07:24 PM Report Posted February 16, 2019 at 07:24 PM I found this Chinese proverb online "To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the world" and wanted to add the Chinese version of it to the essay I'm currently working on. I found this translation below but I wanted to ask to make sure it's correct. 学一门语言，就是多一个观察世界的窗户。 Is the translation above correct? Thank you! Quote
Tomsima Posted February 16, 2019 at 07:28 PM Report Posted February 16, 2019 at 07:28 PM i mean, it means roughly the same thing. but whether it is 'correct' or not is different question... Quote
