peer agreement (net): +1损害你的心脏 Explanation: land you with a dodgy ticker = let you have a dodgy ticker. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-12-03 22:46:11 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another possibility: Ticker could mean that one can only survive. One could do nothing more, but wait for death. Perhaps, \"land you with a dodgy ticker\" can be translated as \"让你苟延残喘\" |

使你的心脏功能变得极不稳定 Explanation: I agree with the other proposed translation. But if you want to be a little bit more specific, you can translate the dodgy part of the sentence, which could be understood as unsound, unstable. |
