Marco77 Posted November 22, 2004 at 11:44 PM Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 at 11:44 PM Hello all, what is the best translation for 离不开？ The sentence is 一届成功的奥运会离不开媒体的广参与和大力支持。 Also, when talking about the olympic games, what does 雅典mean? Thank you all in advance， Marco Edit: 'Help needed' isn't a useful title. Changed it. Roddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevelyan Posted November 23, 2004 at 02:47 AM Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 at 02:47 AM >> 一届成功的奥运会离不开媒体的广参与和大力支持 literally, "cannot be apart from". I'd translate as "needs" or "requires" here: A successful Olympics requires the broad participation and energetic support of the media. 雅典 is Athens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
