你好Benny!

用中文怎么说:
An ancient Chinese mural depicts some golfers with their caddies, one is clearly lining up a putt.

谢谢!

Are you learning Chinese as your second or the first degree?

Hi Lee Kong, sorry for this late reply. I didn’t quite get this sentence. Is it talking about soccer in ancient China or golf in Ancient.

It is talking about golf in ancient China, I translated the first part of the sentence like this:

一个古老的壁画描绘是一群用茶叶罐作为球的高尔夫选手,。。。

But I’m unable to translate “one is clearly lining up a putt.”

The Chinese mural is showing a man planning to hit the ball in such a way that it succesfully goes into the hole.

I just need to know how to translate “clearly lining up the putt”

Thanks!
