buena suerte (literal), afortunado (free), Fortunato (real name) Explanation: Hi frances. Not quite sure of the target language - Spanish I assume? Ok, literally "good luck" is "buena suerte". Thinking this might be something more along the lines of "Lucky", this would be "Afortunado". However, there is a real Spanish name which I think/assume would mean pretty much the same, "Fortunato". Good luck! 羖varo :O) :O) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 48 mins (2005-09-21 09:02:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi again Frances. This is obviously not my language pair, but I found a web page with the name in Pinyin followed by Chinese characters. I have copied and pasted the text onto a Word doc and can enlarge font size (probably even colour too), so you should be able to do so too. Since I don't have the slightest idea of Chinese beyond ni hao or two or three words more, I'll try to check with Jianjun or other Chinese speakers to see if this version is correct. Good luck! The context (try to copy and paste from here and if not, go to the original link): "According to Hsü Tsung-tse (Xu Zongze 1949, p. 321), prefaces were also written by Zhang Wenda 張問達, Wang Zheng and Han Yun 韓雲" http://ricci.rt.usfca.edu/bibliography/view.aspx?bibliograph... :O) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 49 mins (2005-09-21 09:03:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ok, I see that copying it here doesn't keep the format, so go to the web page referred and try to do it. It should work! |
