A person can be happy in life only when he doesn't worry about the world. Those of you who can't understand why I don't worry about the world - don't worry about me either! |

Also, the concept of "boÅŸvermek" needs to be repeated in the second half of the second sentence too - otherwise it doesn't make sense. But I can see why you didn't want to say "don't care about me" - that sounds strange in English. How about if we find a different verb that could be used in all three places? How about "not worry about"?
2) I don't know where you got the idea of "snap your fingers" - I've never heard that with this meaning.
3) "You all" is not correct English, but you can say "Those of you". | | | 30 July 2008 23:44 | | handyyNumber of messages: 2118 | I especially avoid repeating the same words, indeed. then it becomes like that:
One can be happy in his life, only when he doesn't worry about the world. Those of you -who can't get why I don't worry about the world- don't worry about me either!
(I knew that "snap your fingers at" as "to disregard". Am I wrong?)
btw, could I say "All of you who can't get why I don't worry about the world-..."?? Is this wrong too?
and thanks for your help
| | | 31 July 2008 03:38 | | | I don't know that usage of "snap your fingers" - I only know it as symbolizing that you want quick service!
Yes, please make the changes you wrote in your last post. BTW, you should put spaces both before and after the "-".
Suggestion: Instead of saying "can't get", you can make it simpler by using the more common "can't understand" - that has only one meaning.
Also, don't forget "those of you" instead of "all of you". | | | 1 August 2008 23:42 | | handyyNumber of messages: 2118 | done! thanks a lot for your help | | | 2 August 2008 01:34 | | | I made a couple more edits before I accepted it - I hope you're OK with them. | | | 2 August 2008 03:34 | | | | | | 2 August 2008 05:28 | | | | | | 2 August 2008 13:11 | | handyyNumber of messages: 2118 | It's OK Kafetzou, thanks. |
