| GUEST03114 | i think there are 3 meaning of this phase 'jia you'. 1. i trust you and support what you did 2. when suffered bad condition, do not give up 3. when in good condition, be more confidence and do it better so hard to translate it in one word, mybe it is a good method to translate it in different words when condition differs. |

| GUESTTADEODI... | I would suggest something a translation in languages other than English, which many may already know: ''Forza China", as the italians use in "Forza Italia" or the Portuguese say in "Força Portugal". Forza and força mean "strength" in those languages, and it's an exhortation which can be used either in a sporting context or in moments of tragedy or sorrow, when the country needs to stand together. I wouldn't know how to translate that to English, though. :( |

| GUEST18394 | You may want to use "hang in there" especially when facing with difficulties. When you want to encourage someone, for example to cheer on a competitor in a race, you may want to use "press on". |
