I'll keep my eye open for that movie. I got my hands on 2048 last week, but still haven't watched it.

Good luck with your work also.

the combination of that one and this one reminded me of some lines from that movie... anyway... great movie... Good luck with your blogs!

I'm translating random lines from web blogs. Most involve popular culture, such as basketball, music or film.

were you the one that posted the Kudoz about the 挺牛的软件 yesterday?

If someone doesn't know a colloquial meaning, that may be what I'll go with.

Thanks, Aaron.

Just wondering if maybe the 背 is wrong... Could it be 辈?


I dunno.
If I were to break it down literally with what you have written I would do so as:

"Acting out the play (their) mothers play."
translating as "acting like mothers..."

However, I am not totally percent sure... It could have some other colloquial meaning...

I'm not positive you can 背 a 戏... I always thought 戏 had to be 唱...

If it is actually '辈' it seems to make more sense, grammatically anyway... 'acting out the play of (their) mothers' generation'

Hope my input helps a bit... We'll see what some native speakrs say...
