ravem Posted March 21, 2005 at 02:02 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 at 02:02 PM Hallo, First some introduction. I live in Italy and work as web content developer for some healthcare internet portals. I'm quite new to chinese language study, and i need to express the concept of: to be born again / rebirth It's regarding someone who feels like being born again after a dramatic change in his way of life. Is this someway correct ? 再被负担 What will you use instead? Thank you so much, Paolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39degN Posted March 23, 2005 at 03:52 AM Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 at 03:52 AM 再生 is a little bit different. 壁虎的尾巴可以再生. the gecko's tail will regenerate if it's cut off. or 资源再生 resource recycling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyx Posted March 23, 2005 at 05:42 AM Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 at 05:42 AM the simple one is "获得新生"or "重生"，the complicated one is"凤凰涅磐"，described how a phoenix get the second life after Nirvana. it's an old saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunpixy Posted March 28, 2005 at 01:46 PM Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 at 01:46 PM I would suggest "重生(Chong2 Sheng1)" or "新生(Xin1 Sheng1)", as in renascence, rebirth. For what Happyx said, I personally think "nirvana" refers to a spiritual state, rather than some action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
