“native speakers” &“gentleman”...

看上去简单，用中文表达起来很难。这“native speaker”，“gentleman”经常碰到，怎麽翻？“以中文为母语者” for“Chinese native speakers”？
太拗囗了吧？

太一本正经了吧？

那就“谦谦君子”罢？或“风流倜倘”？

您的两种译法在不同情况下都不失为上乘之作。

曾想过“君子”与“小人”的英译

better still: broad-minded vs petty-minded

one more alternative for 君子 and 小人：noble hearts vs petty minds

Like this "noble hearts"!

Noble hearts vs petty minds: endorsed with many thanks:)

Gentlemanship: there isn't such a word.

Indeed, it's not in the few dictionaries I consulted. Yet

噢，原来这样。谢！也谢楼上楼下方家帮忙！

native speakers: 讲母语的

Or "made in China" :)

shi-de, haishi couhuo-de hao! :-) zhunque bi shunkou gengjia zhongyao.

passable

凑合: make do with sth.

Many thanks!

You're right!

Thanks!

是的，还是凑合的好。正确比顺口更加重要。凑合： a makeshift, a stopgap,...just so so..., ?

就差一个没对上：zhunque是“准确”，不是“正确”。不过“凑合”的形容词英译很妙！

Thanks, "old friend" :-), for your double translations (pinyin to 汉字 and 中文 to English :-), and "nit-picking", for your correction!

说得对！正如作动词用的“弄”，字典里是“nong4”，而很多人都读成“neng4”，是不是？

Exactly!
