Hello everyone,
I was wondering what "Snake" translated to in Chinese.
So i got a hold of a translator and this is what it gave me:

snake [sneik] 名 蛇;蛇一般的人;阴险[狡猾]的人

近义词： serpent; viper

snake-charming n. 玩蛇术



But i'm looking for "readable" chinese. Like a romaji equavilant in Chinese. If i remember right,
i believe it's called pinyin?
Could anyone help?? Thanks!


Also, the translation for "goddess"(goddess ['g/o/ dis] 名 女神;绝代美女;受崇拜女性
)and "beauty"
(beauty ['bju:ti] 名 美;美人;优点

反义词： ugliness

beauty spot 风景胜地)
would be great!!




Thanks again!

xoxo
Izanami

I converted this with HanConv, a useful little program. Unfortunately, their website seems to be
down.

Hey, thanks!

But i was wondering which of those i sould use?
Like which one is more colloquial? =)


oh, and i found that snake charmer is:耍蛇者
and the translation i got at this other site was:
Your PinYin Translation:
耍shua [蛇she;yi] 者zhe

So, how would i write "Snake Charmer" out? Shua She Zhe, Shua Yi Zhe, OR ,Shu She Yi Zhe??

OR is it Shua-Xi-She??!










Ding Yiyi -

耍蛇者 would be written as shuǎshézhě, or shua3she2zhe3. The accent marks are more fluid to
read, but the numbers are easier to type so you'll see both.










xianu -

depending on what your purposes are:
Snake, as the animal: she 蛇
Goddess: nu (with an umlaut over the u) shen女神
A Beauty (as in a beautiful person): meiren 美人
beautiful (adj): mei or meili 美 or 美麗
