Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Please translate whole sentence in Pinyin only | | English term or phrase: unworthy babysitter | The whole phrase, is actually:
"This is like having a babysitter who seeks praises for washing the windows but neglecting the children for which she was hired for."
Please translate in Pinyin since I don't read chinese characters.
This is an illustration on how many churches in the world expects to be acknowledged by their god when they miss the whole purpose of their existence - that is, taking care of and feeding their flock. |

Asker: Hi! Is it possible to put the tones in the Pinyin too? Like, for example, if "ZHE" is of rising tone, then it will be "ZHE1" or "Zhé,". If falling tone, "ZHE2" or "Zhé" and so on. Thank you very much in advance!
Asker: Is this correct: 1=flat tone; 2=rising: 3=down and up; 4=down? :D
