Roee Posted November 14, 2005 at 02:11 AM Report Posted November 14, 2005 at 02:11 AM Somewhat urgent, so I'd appreciate any help on this: I'm looking for the Mandarin translation of the word "Anagraphic" or "Anagraphics" if you cannot find it than "Anagraphic" might do. Thanks in advance! Quote
Roee Posted November 14, 2005 at 05:58 AM Author Report Posted November 14, 2005 at 05:58 AM I've just returned from the Library and checked at least 12 dictionaries... nothing. Quote
necroflux Posted November 14, 2005 at 08:07 AM Report Posted November 14, 2005 at 08:07 AM I'm not sure that word even exists in English, I checked online dictionaries and found nothing.. what is it? Quote
Roee Posted November 14, 2005 at 08:52 AM Author Report Posted November 14, 2005 at 08:52 AM Ok, looks like it's from Italian: Anagrafica which translates to "vital statistics" now, how would you translate this to Mandarin? Quote
elina Posted November 14, 2005 at 09:50 AM Report Posted November 14, 2005 at 09:50 AM according to 金山词霸, vital statistics:人口统计 Statistics concerning the important events in human life, such as births, deaths, marriages, and migrations. 生命统计人的生命中重要事件的统计,如出生,死亡,婚姻和移民等 Quote
Roee Posted November 14, 2005 at 10:15 AM Author Report Posted November 14, 2005 at 10:15 AM Thanks Elina. "Statistics concerning the important events in human life," What if it's "vital statistics" whichare not referring to humans but to merchandise, process or some objects? Quote
elina Posted November 14, 2005 at 10:28 AM Report Posted November 14, 2005 at 10:28 AM also according to 金山词霸: vital: 极为重要的;关系重大的,必不可少的, for example: a vital examination: 至关重要的考试 so when referring to merchandise, process or some objects, i GUESS vital statistics:必不可少的统计数据, but i'm really not sure.
