Pasharain Posted August 14, 2023 at 05:28 PM Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 at 05:28 PM Although I signed up a while ago for Chinese forums, I dropped off the Chinese boat and never made real use of anything here. So, please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place or am making to much of a request. I appreciate being redirected if necessary. ? I translated these random phrases, if anyone can correct one or more of them I would be so appreciative: Thanks much! 她最终回答道（在稍稍思考片刻后），她不想嫁给他。 She finally answered (after taking a moment to think) that she did not want to marry him. 她兴高采烈地回答道：“是的，我愿意嫁给你。” She answered enthusiastically: "Yes, I will marry you." 我赢得了拍卖！ I won the auction! 厕所在哪里？ Where is the restroom? 你是个素食主义者，对吗？ You're a vegetarian, right? 谁在乎呢？ Who cares? 明天给我打电话；你可以在那时给我一个答案。 Call me tomorrow; you can give me an answer then. 如果明天是晴天，我会去公园。 If it's sunny tomorrow, I will go to the park. 我去工作，她总是参加派对。 I go to work; she parties all the time: 为什么你不...哦，算了。 Why don't you… oh, forget it. 当圣诞老人要我签名时，我停止相信他了… I stopped believing in Santa Claus… when he asked for my autograph. 嫉妒…是骨头的腐朽。 Jealousy…is rottenness of the bones. 风吹在我们背后，我们出发了… The wind blowing at our backs, we set off… 我们的提议被拒绝了… Our offer has been rejected… 我爱我的妻子，我的女儿，我的狗和我的猫。 I love my wife, my daughter, my dog and my cat. 我的妻子喜欢学习中文。 My wife loves learning Chinese. 请等待。 Please wait. 米妮老鼠 Minnie Mouse 谁写过：“这是最美好的时代，也是最糟糕的时代。” Who wrote, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times?" “我现在对妈妈很生气，”我弟弟说。“上周她对我说，‘马克，如果你不打扫你的房间，我就要拿走你的 Xbox。’昨天她真的拿走了。” "I am so upset with mom right now," said my brother. "Last week she said to me, 'Mark if you don't clean your room I'm taking away your Xbox.' Yesterday she took it." 我非常喜欢电视剧《命中注定我爱你》。 I really enjoyed the drama Fated to Love You.

As for "she parties all the time", 她总是参加派对 specifically means she attends parties all the time, which is different to the general meaning of "she parties all the time", which I take to mean that she is out having fun generally without being specific about the particular activities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu Posted August 16, 2023 at 08:36 AM Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 at 08:36 AM Did you translate the phrases from Chinese to English or from English to Chinese? They all read as if they were translated English to Chinese, and the Chinese is not incorrect, but slightly unnatural in many places.
