heifeng Posted August 18, 2006 at 09:48 AM Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 at 09:48 AM I think you guys should take this up a notch, let's make this a true translation challenge: sm888 should provide the music (sheet music too optional) and whoever translates it has to make sure is can be sung to the music and that it actually sounds good.... ok, but not me...I should be getting back to work now....hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian440 Posted August 18, 2006 at 10:46 AM Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 at 10:46 AM You could cut down the new extra syllables (which will wreak havoc with rhythm) by replacing 澳大利亚 with 澳洲. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm888 Posted August 18, 2006 at 01:37 PM Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 at 01:37 PM whats the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian440 Posted August 19, 2006 at 11:20 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 at 11:20 PM 澳洲 refers more to the continent I suppose, just like 欧洲 and 非洲 being continents. Since Australia is both a continent and a country there is no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
