- Ein kalter Willkommen (Übersetzung 9) Am Mittwoch Abend sind wir zum Rathaus gegangen. Es war der letzter Tag dieses Jahres und eine große Menschenmenge/Menschenansammlung (?) hatte sich unter der Rathausurh versammelt. Die Uhr würde in zwanzige Minuten zwölf schlagen. Fünfzehn Minuten ist vergangen und dann hat die Rathausuhr um fünf vor zwölf gestoppt(?). Die große Minutenzeiger bewegte sich nicht mehr. Wir warteten und warteten, aber nichts passierte. Pötzlich schreite jemand, "Es ist zwei nach zwölf! Die Uhr hat eigentlich gestoppt(?)!" Ich guckte mir meine Armbanduhr an - Es war wahr! Die große Uhr verweigte sich, das Neujahr zu empfangen! An diesem Augenblick haben alle angefangen, zu lachen und zu singen. Der Originaltext: A cold welcome On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted, ‘It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!* I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing.May 15, 201120

A: 你好,先生。请问,您想买什么衣服?
B: 你好。我想买一条裤子。
A: 您想买什么颜色的,什么大小?<em> ( '什么大小' is ok, but doesn't sound like a chinese. better: 多大?/ 什么尺寸?)</em>
B: 我想买一条中号<em>的</em>红裤子。
A: 这条裤子怎么样?
B: 颜色很好,如果长短合适的话,我就买。
B: 这条裤子<em>(虽然)</em>("虽然...但是"对于这段对话来说太过书面化。另外,是“虽然...但是",不是“虽然...可是“)颜色很好,<strike>可是</strike>大小挺大。 (First of all, "挺" means very, but you means hier too.Hence, 太。Secondly, you can definitely regard "大小" as "size", but "大“ appears two times, which sounds terrible. You can say, "尺寸(another word for size)太大了",or easier:"太大了", which it is also to be emphasized, that in chinese the subject is not necessary, when it is obvious.)
A: 对不起,我给您<strike>别</strike> 另一条裤子。
A: 您<strike>是</strike>试一下。
B: 就是大吧。(meaning not clear ) 我还想买一双绿色的鞋。
