Sample Sentences
桃花运
Luck with the opposite sex.
真是狗嘴里吐不出象牙来啊,也难怪优雅的仙女儿成了前任,不过你说的美联航那事儿也确实让人大跌眼镜,空乘人员怎么能对乘客施行暴力呢?我宁可没桃花也不希望坐飞机遇到这种倒霉事儿。
Tut tut, I suppose you can’t expect wise words from a scoundrel. No wonder the elegant goddess is now an ex, but the incident with United Airlines you brought up really was quite shocking. How can airline staff be violent with passengers? I’d rather have no one who likes me, than to come upon bad luck like that while flying.
燕子去了,有再来的时候;杨柳枯了,有再青的时候;桃花谢了,有再开的时候。但是,聪明的,你告诉我,我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢?——是有人偷了他们罢,那是谁?又藏在何处呢?是他们自己逃走了罢——如今又到了哪里呢?
If swallows go away, they will come back again. If willows wither, they will turn green again. If peach blossoms fade, they will flower again. But, tell me, you the wise, why should our days go by never to return? Perhaps they have been stolen by someone. But who could it be and where could he hide them? Perhaps they have just run away by themselves. But where could they be at the present moment?
没错。我也觉得最重要的是要以正确的态度来对待这些所谓的命运预测。其实无聊的时候,我也会在网上测测我的名字吉利不吉利,下周有没有桃花运什么的,不过看过以后都是一笑而过,并没有真正地去在意过,纯属消遣而已。
Right. I also think that the most important thing is keeping the right attitude about prophecies. In fact, when I'm bored, I will also test my name on the Internet to see whether it’s a lucky name or not. Or I will check whether I will have the luck in having romantic encounters or not. But I don’t take them seriously after knowing these. It’s just for killing time.

我悻悻地回到寝室,心里想,要在那么多人里找寻一个背影,真的像大海捞针一样。或许,桃花运真的还没来......
Resentfully, I went back to my dormitory. I thought to myself that searching for this vision of a girl in such a sea of people really was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Perhaps my lucky chance hadn't come after all...
可以说,遇见她,给我枯燥的大三生活增添了许多活力和憧憬。寝室的室友知道后也一直说我撞桃花,情窦初开了。转眼间,到了第四个周末。
You could say, meeting her put a little life into my dull, third-year student existence and gave me something to look forward to. After my rommates found out, they kept saying I'd finally gotten some good luck and that I was really starting to notice the girls. Then, in the blink of an eye, the fourth weekend arrived.
