Talk:蝲蝲蛄

Translation of example sentense

@Wyang, Justinrleung Is this thing really that un-understand-able? It means 不能因爲聽見蝲蝲蛄叫，就索性不種莊稼. You can try search it in a search engine. Dokurrat (talk) 21:57, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: Now it seems the translation in current page sounds more like: 你是比種莊稼更願意聽蝲蝲蛄叫嗎？ to me... Dokurrat (talk) 22:02, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

@Dokurrat ... 你是比種莊稼更願意聽蝲蝲蛄叫嗎？！, IMO. "Would you rather ... than ...?" (not ... or ...) carries a disapproving tone to the first option. Wyang (talk) 04:26, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

@Dokurrat I think I know what you mean now. Actually the quote means more like "聽蝲蝲蛄叫，就不種莊稼了？". How about now? Wyang (talk) 04:41, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

@Wyang: Yes, I think that's what I meant. This suyu has not a fixed form (You can see alot of variants in results of a search engine). You can change the Chinese sentence from 還 to 就 if you think it sounds better. Dokurrat (talk) 04:50, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
