English:
A Chinglish version of "time heals all wounds." "Heal" instead of "heals" (no third-person S), "hurt" instead of "hurts."
中文:
英语谚语的中式英语版。"heal"代替"heals"(无第三人称单数),"hurt"代替"hurts"。
Chinese English learners universally drop the third-person singular "s" — it doesn't exist in Chinese.
中文:中国英语学习者在第三人称单数"s"上普遍困难——中文中不存在这个语法特征。结果"time heal"是最常见的中式英语语法特征之一。
📌 Example 1
Friend in deep pain:
"The pain is unbearable."
"Time heal all hurt. Give it time."
朋友深深痛苦:
"痛得受不了。"
"时间治愈所有伤痛。给时间时间。"
📌 Example 2
Time-lapse caption:
"A year ago I was crying over him. Now I don't even remember his face."
"Time heal all hurt. True story."
延时配文:
"一年前还为他哭。现在连脸都不记得。"
"时间治愈所有伤痛。真实故事。"
📌 Example 3
Caption on a time-lapse video:
"A year ago I was crying over him. Now I don't even remember his face."
"Time heal all hurt. True story."
延时视频配文:
"一年前还为他哭。现在连脸都不记得。"
"时间治愈所有伤痛。真实故事。"
