New Members Ferdinand Posted May 20, 2018 at 08:24 AM New Members Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 at 08:24 AM Can someone translate this picture for me? It is supposed to be something about success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted May 20, 2018 at 03:05 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 at 03:05 PM The top two characters are indeed 成功 success. Below is some fanciful language in fanciful characters about success that would take some effort to put into good English. (Best responses here are usually for translations that can be done quickly, or where there's some real value in the translation.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Ferdinand Posted May 20, 2018 at 05:15 PM Author New Members Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 at 05:15 PM I asked if someone could translate it, not if someone could write 5 sentences about the level of difficulty or come with a subjective opinion about the importance of this translation.

Shelley Posted May 20, 2018 at 09:49 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 at 09:49 PM If you would like nothing but a translation maybe you should find a translator and pay them to do it for you. You have asked people on this forum to do you a favour, to spend their time free of charge to help you, there is no need to be ungrateful for whatever help you get. Part of the reason someone might translate it might be because it is interesting or that other people on the forum may learn something. It might take more than one person to piece it together, so be patient. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope a native speaker steps in to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it says something about achieving greater success at getting people to do things for free if you don't act entitled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu Posted May 22, 2018 at 08:17 AM Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 at 08:17 AM Rule number one for this part of the forum: ask nicely. Calling people names and getting angry if a quick translation is not forthcoming is a good way to piss the members off, but not a good way to get a full translation of anything. I'm closing this thread. I'm surprised that a simple request like this can get so out of hand so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
