azzurra87 Posted December 27, 2011 at 11:03 AM Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 at 11:03 AM Dear Frinds, In my translation I have problems with following phrase: the 1st and 2nd sentences are dialogue: - “四爷，性的需要得到解决了啊。” -“人在尝试适合自己的性交位置之际，有庄严的念头支配着他的行动。” 四爷，他就真的是庄严地看待自己同寡妇的性活动吗？ The most difficult point for me is that I don't understand if these sentences have sexual connotation (I supposed from the context they have). Does they mean 性的需要 = natural sexual needs? Would you pls propose some possible translation? Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylee Posted December 29, 2011 at 12:57 PM Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 at 12:57 PM Consider - "Siye, now you've got your sexual needs fulfilled." "When people try out their sex positions, they are controlled by solemn thoughts." Did Siye really regard his sexual relationship with the widow that solemnly?

imron Posted December 29, 2011 at 09:16 PM Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 at 09:16 PM I don't understand if these sentences have sexual connotation Given that the definition of "connotation" is "the associated or secondary meaning of a word or expression in addition to its explicit or primary meaning", one could argue that there is no connotation involved. It is being quite direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
