New Members DTC2020 Posted February 10, 2021 at 09:55 PM New Members Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 at 09:55 PM Hi there I'm busy with HSK 2, and in lesson 5, text 3, there is a sentence that says: Zhe4 liang3 tian1 you3dianr3 lei4. The translation reads "I've been feeling tired lately". I translate it as "these two days..." Does zhe4 liang3 tian1 mean lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnergyReaper Posted February 11, 2021 at 03:02 PM Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 at 03:02 PM In this context, I think that's right. In daily conversations, native speakers often use 这两天 or 这几天 to mean 最近. 两天 （词语解释） Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
