Hello John,
I just had an exam, and a part of the exam was translating Chinese into English.
My question is I have no idea how well I had done in my text because there are so many different ways to translate one Chinese sentence into the English (at least I think so). I am wondering what the standard is . In other word, how do teachers grade them. What do you think about the answers below?
Thanks a zillion !!!!!
