话小姐

你好

我听到了一句下面的句子:
”这个送您,一点心议(心意),请您收下“
我觉得比较奇怪。”一点心议(心意)“的
意思是不是 Little respect ???
这句句子的意思是
I give you this, with little respect, please accept it
还是
I give you this, it shows a little of the respect I have for you, please
accept it

万事如意

陆蓝克,

“心意” 这个单词很难翻译成英语,因为这个是非常典型的中国话。

我们如果在给别人礼物的时候,会说:这个是我的一点心意。意思是: this gift is to express my friendship. not very expensive. Please take it.

你好,陆蓝克
很多人认为“心意”就是"regards"或者"kindly feelings"的意思。在句子中使用这个词是我了表达"It’s a small gift and not expensive,please kindly receive it!"的意思。
请记住这里我们用“意”而不是”会议“的”议“。
