Izanami Posted March 27, 2007 at 04:54 AM Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 at 04:54 AM Hello everyone, I was wondering what "Snake" translated to in Chinese. So i got a hold of a translator and this is what it gave me: snake [sneik] 名 蛇;蛇一般的人;阴险[狡猾]的人 近义词： serpent; viper snake-charming n. 玩蛇术 But i'm looking for "readable" chinese. Like a romaji equavilant in Chinese. If i remember right, i believe it's called pinyin? Could anyone help?? Thanks! Also, the translation for "goddess"(goddess ['g/o/ dis] 名 女神;绝代美女;受崇拜女性 )and "beauty" (beauty ['bju:ti] 名 美;美人;优点 反义词： ugliness beauty spot 风景胜地) would be great!! Thanks again! xoxo Izanami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izanami Posted March 27, 2007 at 10:10 AM Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 at 10:10 AM Hey, thanks! But i was wondering which of those i sould use? Like which one is more colloquial? =) oh, and i found that snake charmer is:耍蛇者 and the translation i got at this other site was: Your PinYin Translation: 耍shua [蛇she;yi] 者zhe So, how would i write "Snake Charmer" out? Shua She Zhe, Shua Yi Zhe, OR ,Shu She Yi Zhe?? OR is it Shua-Xi-She??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Yiyi Posted March 27, 2007 at 01:33 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 at 01:33 PM [pop=person juggling snake/shuǎ shé zhě]耍蛇者[/pop] would be written as shuǎshézhě, or shua3she2zhe3. The accent marks are more fluid to read, but the numbers are easier to type so you'll see both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
