roddy Posted May 22, 2005 at 02:09 AM Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 at 02:09 AM I'd translate '谁也别 . . . ‘ as 'Nobody . . .' It looks a lot simpler when you change 别 to 不要 and then it follows the pattern of more common sentences like 我什么都不想吃 (I don't want to eat anything) 他哪儿也没出过 (He hasn't been anywhere) 谁也不要请客 - (Nobody pay for anyone else) Roddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
