studentyoung Posted August 18, 2006 at 08:34 AM Report Posted August 18, 2006 at 08:34 AM We are one, but we are many 我们是一个整体,但我们又是许多个体 And from all the lands on earth we come 来自世界各地。 We share a dream and sing with one voice: 我们有同一个梦想并齐声同唱: I am, you are, we are Australian. 我是,你是,我们都是澳大利亚人! Thanks! Quote
skylee Posted August 18, 2006 at 09:20 AM Report Posted August 18, 2006 at 09:20 AM we are one - 我們合而爲一 but we are many - 但我們也各有不同 and from all the lands on earth we come - 我們來自五湖四海 we share a dream - 我們分享同一個夢想 and sing with one voice - 齊聲高歌 I am, you are, we are Australian - 我是 你是 我們是澳大利亞人 Quote
heifeng Posted August 18, 2006 at 09:48 AM Report 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

adrian440 Posted August 18, 2006 at 10:46 AM Report 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
sm888 Posted August 18, 2006 at 01:37 PM Author Report Posted August 18, 2006 at 01:37 PM whats the difference? Quote
adrian440 Posted August 19, 2006 at 11:20 PM Report 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
