HashiriKata Posted January 14, 2007 at 08:01 AM Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 at 08:01 AM 别着急,有大家在 It may be simple but I've nerver heard it (only seen it now without context). What precisely does the sentence mean? I can probably venture a guess but that is not reliable. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenpv Posted January 14, 2007 at 09:00 AM Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 at 09:00 AM Something like: No worries, we are all here (to help/ at your service). And any English slang for this expression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted January 14, 2007 at 09:43 AM Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 at 09:43 AM Thanks chenpv, 好久不见! I don't know about slang but I'd say: Don't worry, we're with you!/ Don't worry, we're right beside you! (For an appropriate slang expression in English, I think we'd need a concrete context to fit it in) By the way, by asking the question do you mean "别着急,有大家在" is kind of slangy?

chenpv Posted January 14, 2007 at 01:26 PM Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 at 01:26 PM Thanks, HashiriKata. (For this long, I couldn't help pronouncing your username as HarishiKata, as a voice always secretly told me R came before S in my head. ) 好久不见。 By the way, by asking the question do you mean "别着急,有大家在" is kind of slangy?Well, not really. The Chinese version is not exclusively slangy, but can be formal and diplomatic if used in some concrete context and such... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylee Posted January 14, 2007 at 11:28 PM Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 at 11:28 PM As Quest suggested, I think it is more natural to use 我/我們 than 大家. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
