xiaojiang216 Posted November 24, 2005 at 03:07 PM Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 at 03:07 PM Hello everyone! I was talking with my friend from Zhenjiang in Jiangsu Province... and he asked me to translate this sentence for him... 我在吃飯,顧不上跟你談話. 我在吃饭,顾不上跟你谈话。 I made a guess... and I said... I am eating, so I cannot attend to talk with you... This sounds very awkward, but it's the only thing I could come up with in the few seconds I had to respond... Well, I'll leave it to the experts! 謝謝! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiaojiang216 Posted November 24, 2005 at 05:22 PM Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 at 05:22 PM What about 顧不上 by itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semantic nuance Posted November 24, 2005 at 05:52 PM Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 at 05:52 PM 顧不上 is used when you have no time/ heart/energy to 'mind' something or someone. 顧 here can be explained as 照顧 (take care of ), or 注意 (look out for/ mind). Hope it helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
