edelweis Posted October 1, 2011 at 07:49 PM Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 at 07:49 PM what exactly is unclear? It looks like a normal use of 一边...一边 to me. "let's choose while walking", "let's visit and choose at the same time". Context might help understand the sentence better. It sounds like something one might say when visiting a market or a street with many stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
googed Posted October 1, 2011 at 11:42 PM Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 at 11:42 PM "I think we should make our pick on our walk" = "we can buy (them) while at the market" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny2312 Posted October 2, 2011 at 04:13 AM Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 at 04:13 AM You can walk and shop at the same time. It's not wrong. "边。。。边” is the alternate form of "一边。。。一边" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted October 2, 2011 at 07:37 AM Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 at 07:37 AM #2 & #4 are right. The second part of #3 is not quite what the original sentence means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
