Thanks. I like the second one.
Non-ProZ.com Jan 22, 2005:
In Japanese, it would be
"..."��p��łǂ��\������́H
Or more colloquially
"..."���ĉp��łǂ�������?
Wenjer Leuschel (X) Jan 22, 2005:
Sorry, I oversaw the language pair. Would you please tell me how to say the same sentence in Japanese? There must be several ways to express the same thing.

There are many ways to express the same thing in Chinese.
However, I prefer colloquial ones.
You may also say, ... 用英文怎麼說呢?

Most easiest way: ... 英語怎說?or ... 英文怎說?

You see, most Chinese do not differentiate 文 and 語.
So, it doesn\'t matter to use 文 (written language) when you mean 語 (spoken language).
