"小心过马路！"

Translation: Be careful when you cross the road!

[Imnuts7]

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

[Alf42]

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

[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.. ❤❤❤???

[Will_Ross]

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

[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！

[bould1]

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

[mjp_sc]

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

[Jacques439990]

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...

[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.

[jim140738]

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

[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.

[carrie571050]

wtheck

[carrie571050]

ditto aug 2021. in the same lesson it says watch out is the answer. 2 questions later on the same question watch out is wrong..............

[Noah1973]

Cross the road carefully also doesn't work

[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).

[nao657961]

Watch out when you cross the road!

[J.0.Y]

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

[Giannis317178]

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

[LukasWilhelm]

Cross the road carefully!
it is certainly better

[AllenMarina]

DISCUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kris849813]

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

[LaoJG1]

'take care' more common round here

[James550591]

In Singapore/Malaysia, we would usually say " Be careful when xxxxxxx"
Hence my answer " Be careful when crossing the road" is accepted 15 Jan 2021.

If the "when" is omitted, the English sentence sounds a little weird to me. Eg.
Be careful eating fish
Be careful driving car
Be careful crossing road.

Somehow if the word " when" is inserted after careful, it renders the sentences sound more grammatically correct to my ear.

[john27rg]

Reported that "take care crossing the road" should be accepted

[SamuelZhong]

I just don't understand how "cross the road carefully" isn't correct. *sigh This is completely messed up

[Jon8652]

Cross the road carefully

[Shinya_Taiwan]

"Be careful with crossing the road" was rejected...

[Shinya_Taiwan]

"Be careful with crossing the road" was rejected

[DaveinNYC]

"carefully cross the road"

[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.

[MelissaMelbourne]

Be careful crossing the road was accepted.

[wbeeman]

"Take care crossing the street" is correct, but not accepted. Please fix.

[Anweshaa]

Why does "Cross the road carefully" not work?

[FlyingPlat2]

exactly duolingo is trash with accepting minor changes

[JonathanWo666179]

I do not understand why I kept giving failed results for saying please beforehand.
I do understand because there wasn't 請 in the phrase but courtesy!
