爱,热爱, 爱情 Explanation: These are nouns. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-03 18:59:41 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The pinyin for the above-mentioned nouns: ai(4),re(4)ai(4),and ai(4)qing(2). When it\'s used as a verb, it is \"爱(ai4)\'\' or \"热爱(re4ai4)\". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-03 19:02:31 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Literally, when used as a noun, it could also translated into \"爱恋(ai4lian4),爱意(ai4yi4). However, these two are used less often. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-03 19:05:09 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Literally, when used as a noun, it could also BE translated into \"爱恋(ai4lian4),爱意(ai4yi4). However, these two are used less often. Therefore, 爱(ai4) would be the most universal one, since it can be used both as a noun and a verb. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-03 19:10:10 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Literally, when used as a noun, it could also BE translated into \"爱恋(ai4lian4),爱意(ai4yi4). However, these two are used less often. Therefore, 爱(ai4) would be the most universal one, since it can be used both as a noun and a verb. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-03 19:21:04 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you need the translation for the whole phrase\"be in love with sb or sth\"(I assume that is what you mean), then pls. see the following: be in love with sb = (跟...)恋爱(gen1...)lian4ai4 fall in love with sb = 爱上...ai4shang4... be in love with sth = 爱上某物ai4shang4mou3wu4 fall in love with sth = (迷恋上)爱上某物(mi2lian4shang4)ai4shang4mou3wu4 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-04 02:53:02 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As I pointed out above, the first choice for translating the SINGLE word \"love\" into Chinese is undoubtedly \"爱(ai4)\". |
