moksha Posted February 23, 2005 at 02:30 AM Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 at 02:30 AM Would it make sense to say: "jin ci shi" (今此時) to mean "now, this moment"? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazu Posted February 23, 2005 at 05:29 AM Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 at 05:29 AM It depends on the context, sometimes you can put Chinese language in a funny way to give a better and rhythmic sentence. But giving the only 3 words you wrote here, I would say it's not good. 如今此时 is better. but 如今 = 此时, so for the sake of saving some space (especially if you're sending out SMS), any one is enough.

marcopolo79 Posted February 23, 2005 at 02:08 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 at 02:08 PM I think 此時此刻 would be the best way to translate this idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moksha Posted February 23, 2005 at 03:44 PM Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 at 03:44 PM I do like the sound of 此時此刻. How about 現在此時? Or 現在此刻? At first I was only interested in getting a tattoo... now I want to learn more about this language. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xuezhongwen Posted February 23, 2005 at 10:30 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 at 10:30 PM 此时此刻 is the best saying, 此时 = 此刻 = this moment, so it's a repetation of "this moment", just as what done in English. Whatever you guys are trying to invent don't make sense. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
