how about "我为你疯狂?" can you translate it?

Turtle, I hope you become my student of learning Chinese, instead of learning seduction. Laughing

This is an English forum silly.

Which gives me a good excuse to not answer - because I have no idea what that means. Very Happy

Turtle, I know this is an english forum, but I was giving you a test for Chinese language!! you have to answer it! quickly! Since you are studying Chinese. if you don't answer it, fine!!! I am not gonna learn the art of seduction with you.

And hoshi, be patient! Turtle will tell you what that sentence means someday Razz

PS: Turtle, I just visited your space. why do you need two monitors for your computer? that really freaks me out!

You mean this?


Because I do multitrack audio recording and production on the computer. It's very difficult to do unless you have dual monitors because you can have 10 windows open for even a very simple song. You need to be able to see and change settings on several windows simultaneously.

Ok, turtle, here is your lesson:

这些美女真的让我应接不暇 means so many beautiful girls around me that I have trouble dating them one by one!

When you translate Chinese into english, you have to associate all these characters and see what they mean together. you can't seperate them Very Happy
