"一個人夾雜幾個私生子也沒什麼不好。看蔣故總統的倆姓章的兒﹐多有出息啊。" 這話若在20多年前說便有問題了。別想做柏楊。

有的人，别人骂他是“花心萝卜”，他却还按捺不住自己的“心里美”呢！

老沒人QUOTE﹐還不自己QUOTE自己﹖聯想到一句話﹕ 老沒人疼﹐還不自己疼自己﹖

你這話里夾雜的“QUOTE”可真不好用這個單詞在翻譯領域最常用意思來翻譯。不是鬧著玩兒的。

Steve:
感謝您老不吝撥冗教學，過了兩天這才爬上來道謝，非常失禮，敬請原諒！
stone,
I would say "some" is "some". Don't worry about using it too often.
But sometimes you can use "a few" or "certain" for a little variety, such as "a few people", "a certain few of us", etc.
Also you can avoid being repetitive by not referring directly to the people in question. For example, you can say "a certain mentality", "a particular opinion", "a common misconception", etc.
Please let me know if I didn't answer the right question.

（我現在也不能報價，呃，不能 quote 啦。 上面是手工 copy paste 並加簡短指令。）
學到了好多種 some 的替代用法。 ^_^
不過我想到的是，用其他形容詞來取代可以有自由詮釋空間的some。例如，upon some funny thought，我想改成 upon my malevolent or acrimonious thought（這兩個都是我不會的字，剛剛用字典查來暫用一下的 LOL ）；to describe some "phenomenon" here 的 some，我搞不好會想改成 the ludicrous phenomenon.
好啦，我承認我常常帶有自譏嘲中取樂的傾向（因為愛譏嘲，經常難免嘲弄到自己，哈哈哈）。
又，看到你對我的名字有點兒意見啊．．．．呵呵呵。
(don't worry, stone, you know it's just your family name. ^_^)

Many thanks to Steve for sharing these political jargons in English with us. Those of us born in 1970s missed a dramatic period in Chinese history.

Steve, which one fits the catagory of 群众? and what about 人民群众？ These terms always puzzle me. Thanks.

Here are some terms I could think of ...
the masses
the people
we the people
we as a people
all people
common people
people collectively
people as a whole
the Chinese people, the American people
grass-roots movement - 群众运动
There are many more ways to translate this term. My suggestion is to keep all options open, and select an equivalent that works best in the sentence and for the situation.

stone, You got the right idea. Look for words that better describe what you want to say. In many situations, restructuring a sentence could also avoid the repetitive use of a certain word. For example, to avoid the word "some" in the 1st phrase, you could have said "I had a funny thought that ..." or "A funny thought occurred to me that ...".
BTW, by no means was I saying "Stone" is not a good name. It's just not a commonly seen first name, or given name. Plus I wasn't commenting on user IDs or aliases. Aliases are different, in my opinion the more unique the better.
