xiaomawang Posted September 21, 2005 at 02:31 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 at 02:31 PM (When a business) 涉及(involves / needs / request) a 许可证(permit)经营的(to run), then 凭(base on / need certified by)许可证(permit)经营(to run). That means, if the business need a permit, you must have a permit to run. There should be someone else could make a better explanation.

MarkKang Posted September 21, 2005 at 02:32 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 at 02:32 PM It should be something like: if it has do with licensed operations, then do it according to the license. Or maybe better like this: Those activities that involve having a permit should be conducted according to the permit. Where does the sentence come from?

roddy Posted September 21, 2005 at 02:36 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 at 02:36 PM How about Matters covered by the permit should be handled accordingly / in accordance with the permit. Not a pretty sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblo Posted September 21, 2005 at 03:10 PM Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 at 03:10 PM you all are great! Now I understand the grammar structure... thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted September 22, 2005 at 02:23 AM Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 at 02:23 AM It'll be a lot easier to work with these sentences / phrases if you can give us the context they're in - even the previous and following sentences will help.

oblo Posted September 22, 2005 at 06:14 AM Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 at 06:14 AM the sentence I reported doesn't have a proper context. it appears in brackets at the end of a paragraph titled: 宗旨经营范围 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkKang Posted September 22, 2005 at 10:44 AM Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 at 10:44 AM Roddy's answer shows he is the pro among us, but a better test would be smoothing out the Chinese sentence. Anyone care to give it a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted September 22, 2005 at 12:52 PM Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 at 12:52 PM I wouldn't have even understood it without the previous replies, I think. It's a dumb sentence anyway (when something is difficult, attack it ) as like Oblo says in the title, it's tautological. It's like having a law with a sentence that says 'Everyone must obey this law' - I don't know about other languages as I haven't read much legal stuff in them, but you quite often see this kind of thing in Chinese. One of my 'favourites' is when a contract has a seperate clause that specifies that both parties will respect the contract or something.

MarkKang Posted September 22, 2005 at 01:03 PM Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 at 01:03 PM How about this version: You may think you can do things the way you want in certain circumstances, even though the permit regs cover it, but you can't. Do everything according to the relevant regs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
