@ perle I googled a bit and this is from the first page I found: 午时三刻是指如今的中午12点45分 午时是11~13时 一刻为15分，故三刻为45分 ...... 仔细看了之后别人的回答，我想想好像也不大对在字典里的午时三刻只说了它是指12点，却没说几分 于是再去找了找答案 看到以下解释 : 古代一昼夜划为十二个时辰，又划为一百刻。 (「刻」原来指的就是计时的滴漏桶上的刻痕) (一昼夜滴完一桶，划分为一百刻） 「时」和「刻」实际上是两套计时系统单位，换算比较麻烦，平均每个时辰合八又三分之一刻。 「午时」一般约合今天的中午十一点至十三点之间，午时三刻是将近正午十二点，太阳挂在天空中央，是地面上阴影最短的时候。 所以正确答案应该是， (以24小时制回答)午时三刻大约是11点45分。以一日一百刻来计算的话可知午时三刻是11点43分12秒。 (一刻为14分钟24秒，大约为15分钟。) and here´s the uncut-google-translation ;-) Three carved noon today refers to the 12:45 noon is 11 ~ 13:15 to 15 points, so three deep 10:45 ...... carefully read after other people's answer, I did not think about it in the dictionary on the three noon carved only said it is 12:00, no one said a bit So to find the identify solutions that the following explanation: Ancient one day and night is zoned 12 chrono, designated as 100 carved. ( "Carved" originally refers to the time of the notch leakage barrels) (a night drop End barrel, carved into 100), "" and "carved" is actually two sets of metering systems units, the conversion trouble comparison, the average for each of eight and one-third of the time carved. "Noon" about today's 11:00 to 13:00 between the three carved nearly noon noon 12:35, the sun hanging in the sky, the shadows on the ground is the shortest time. 100 carved in the 1st to know in terms of three engraved noon is 11:43:12. (Moment for 14 minutes 24 seconds, about 15 minutes.)

Hi Lantian, I guess most people around here use ChinesePera-kun for translating puposes (it offers pop-up pinyin and English). @ Nicolas, the only new Admin I see around here is Clay and he already has the little Admin-letter in his avatar.

for those wanting to know some more about what Artkho wrote a little extension :-) : 生意 怎么样 = shēng yì zěn me yàng = business how about /how is it 年年 有 余 = nián nián yǒu yú = annual (nián = year) to have extra 午 时 三 刻 = wǔ shi sān kè = noon time (/hour) 3 quarter hour (/to cut) 好 酒 不 见= hǎo jiǔ bù jiàn = good alkohol not to see/to meet 好 久 不 见 = hǎo jiǔ bù jiàn = good (long)time not to see/ to meet As for 生意 (shēng yì) AKA business 生 (live) 意 (thought/idea) shēng yì if 意 (yì) comes from 意思 (yì sī = idea,opinion,meaning) and it rephers to the state of something. You can combine this meaning with the 生 (shēng). So this question how is your business becomes how is your live status. That is at least what I think how
