"小心过马路！"

Translation: Be careful when you cross the road!

[Imnuts7]

'Cross the road carefully' would be a more literal translation.

[mjp_sc]

路/馬路/道路=road
街=street
巷=lane
弄=alley
Common direct translations.

Ok. But the English sees it differently. That's why a translation can never be done word-for-word, you see, when the English says "No crossing", it definitely applies to roads, avenues, highways, streets, alleys, etc... And it can also say No crossing here. Unlike the Chinese could say 请不要穿越，謝謝。。。Allthis to say that all translations should be considered by Birdie Duo...

Be careful crossing the road.....so frustrating to screw around with English variations when I'm trying to learn Chinese...is anybody listening?

[Simon299426]

On previous tests, "小心" is given as "watch out". In this test, "watch out" isn't allowed, and only "be careful" accepted. Reported 12th November 2018.

"Be careful crossing the road." should also be accepted. I reported it.

[Will_Ross]

Thanks for reporting. They seem to have completely ignored your feedback though! I answered the same and it was 'incorrect'

[Patrick_Dark]

This answer is still not accepted. The "when" that they want in the sentence ("Be careful when crossing the road.") is superfluous. Reported.

[Jacques439990]

Reported like many other people do and no change.. Wtf???

[Zfe10]

still not accepted :(

[Jacques439990]

Here again, this so common phrase has so many possible translations, you just have to accept them all. 他媽的！

[Simon299426]

"Be careful crossing the road." still not accepted. Reported 10th November 2018.

[Simon299426]

Thanks for voting down perfectly correct English. Reported again 17th March 2019.

Before 小心 is translated As 'watch out'. Here is not accepted

[nao657961]

Watch out when you cross the road!

[Julestheman]

"Street" and "road" were both offered as choices. Yet only "road" is correct.

[sarefo]

always send a report!

[Gabrielle145359]

I think 街 is usually translated as street.

[ClassiDuo]

Both are possible, though (in Taiwan at least) 路 is generally bigger than 街 (whereas I don't think there is a difference in size between road and street in English).

[jim140738]

come on man... "be careful crossing the road"

[J.0.Y]

I wrote 'carefully cross the road'. It should be accepted.

[MicahLiuba1]

Why isn't "street" also acceptable?

[oncexblink]

"Please be careful while crossing the road" needs to be accepted. I don't understand what's wrong with it

[Giannis317178]

Why "carefully cross the road" is wrong? So many posts here, no one pays attention?

[LaoJG1]

'take care' more common round here

[Noah1973]

Cross the road carefully also doesn't work

[juanluisme845441]

take care crossing the road

[DarkBird5]

Cross the road carefully! When it uses "Be careful when you cross the road!" It is trying to translate this sentence to English word for word. Sure it can work but it doesn't make it right.
