neverain Posted January 9, 2008 at 01:52 PM Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 at 01:52 PM 地道 when you are talking about something it means looks,sounds,tastes..etc like original one For example 你的中文很地道 your chinese sounds like native speaking( in fact ....great is enough...)

Rhubarb Posted January 12, 2008 at 07:12 AM Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 at 07:12 AM how to translate, localized? yes, 'native' is the correct translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugi Posted January 15, 2008 at 07:37 AM Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 at 07:37 AM As imron has suggested, "authentic" is probably the best general gloss for 地道. But for "xxx, 用比较地道英语, 怎么讲的?" try "How would you say xxx in natural-sounding English?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
