日子过得还都不错

[anonymoose]

我的一本书里有这个句子:

日子过得还都不错

我想知道该句可不可以也说成"日子都过得还不错"

可以的话，意思一样不一样?

由於原来句子中的"都"字的位置，我觉得有点奇怪。

(若我在这里也犯了语言上的错误，请让我知道。谢谢。)

'还都' means 'just so so'. '都还' means 'all are ok'.

eg: 日子过得还都不错

They are living a not-so-bad but peaceful(ordinary, plain) life.

eg: 日子过得都还不错

(Mr X has two children,) his children both live a good life.

Thank you very much, self-taught-mba.

They are living a not-so-good but peaceful(ordinary, plain) life.

I believe you mean to say "not-so-bad" or "not-bad" right? "Not-so-good" would be negative, and this is not what this sentence conveys.

哦，原来是这样。

"日子都过得还不错"呢?

[self-taught-mba]

"都"的位置在两句话里不同. 所以强调的部分也不同. 原句中强调 "不错",指生活还可以. 不是很好也不是很坏.你的句子里强调潜在的所有"要谈到的人". 他或者他们生活得很好. Dōu used before bú cuò is to emphasize / quantify the adverb (bú cuò) (like saying "quite"), but it's used to refer to the people (like saying "both / all") in your sentence.

Actually, in my sentence I thought I was emphasising 日子， as in 所有的日子都过得还不错 (if that makes sense )

[self-taught-mba]

Actually, in my sentence I thought I was emphasising 日子， as in 所有的日子都过得还不错

Sorry mixed up your second sentence with this one:

日子过得都还不错

(Mr X has two children,) his children both live a good life.

Confused now, going to bed. Sorry. I'm tired.,

[semantic nuance]

Actually, 日子过得还都不错 and 日子都过得还不错 are the same. In your context, 還不錯, 都不錯, 還都不錯, 都還不錯 mean the same thing.

Hope it helps!

We can understand what you mean.

Actually' date=' in my sentence I thought I was emphasising 日子， as in 所有的日子都过得还不错 (if that makes sense )[/quote'] I think I knew it. Did you want to express: 'All these days....'? 日子 in your sentence means 'Life' not 'Day'. If you want to say 'every aspect of your life is OK.' use: 日子过得还都不错. If you want to say 'several people's lives are OK' use 日子过得都还不错.
