a valor will die for his best friend, a lady will make-up to appease herself. Explanation: my try... 士为知己者死，女为悦己者容。 a valor will die for his best friend, while a lady will make-up to appease herself. 士 could be translated as scholar,knight or warrior, but any one of these should be courageous enough for them not to be afraid of death. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-04-13 15:46:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- OK, thanks for Bin's correction, here my revised rendition.... a valor will die for his best friend, while a lady will make-up to appease her admirer. |
