Jim Posted September 7, 2020 at 01:49 PM Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 at 01:49 PM i"d be more inclined to do it as 想把本店电话保存电话薄,请扫二维码。 Not a native speaker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beelzebro Posted October 15, 2020 at 11:28 PM Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 at 11:28 PM I'm also not a native speaker but I'd go with something simpler, like 扫二维码保存电话!(scan the QR code to save the phone number!). Chinese generally favours short, terse expressions in contexts like this, that communicate only the pertinent information without any additional fluff. You might even get away with 扫码 instead of 扫二维码 (so the full sentence would be 扫码保存电话), but I admit I'm personally not sure if that abbreviation is commonly used. It just feels right to me. Best to get a second opinion on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
