Desmond Posted October 25, 2005 at 03:43 AM Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 at 03:43 AM The 对 structure... eg. 那你对今后有什么看法呢？ I'm guessing this means something like "what's your view on what will happen from now on", but I don't really get how 对 plays a part... 感谢！ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gougou Posted October 25, 2005 at 03:50 AM Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 at 03:50 AM It corresponds to the first "on" in your translation; it's simply the preposition needed in such a construction (对。。。有). Another example I can think of is 对... 感兴趣, be interested in ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenpv Posted October 25, 2005 at 04:17 PM Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 at 04:17 PM 那你对今后有什么看法呢？ the main structure of this sentence is '那你有什么看法呢' --------- whats your point of view? '对' here is a preposition which suggests a adverbial structure of a sentence. Literally '对' can be translated as 'in / on / about' in terms of the contents posterior it. So i think the sentence could be translated as --------- Whats your opinion about the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmond Posted October 25, 2005 at 09:33 PM Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 at 09:33 PM Thanks! Yeah this has helped me out a lot, especially in another more complicated sentence that I had, the 对 was throwing me off. I don't think I need help with this anymore, but I'll show you what I was trying to break down (and I think I've got it). It's regarding single child families in China: 这种文化的特点是父母对他们孩子的智力发展和非智力发展采取不同的态度。 So now I realize the 对 in here is a preposition for the parents' children. Thanks!
