先婚后爱drama

While we translate, we sometimes come across interesting words / phrases that we want to further explain, but we don’t want to clutter your screens with long in-line t/ns while you watch the drama either. Hence, we have decided to compile them into a single post instead.

Here are the two phrases we picked out from our first translated drama on this blog:

营养费 (yíng yǎng fèi)

lit. “nutrition expenses”. It is a compensation, usually given to an injured, covering the extra nutrition expenses necessary to help the individual recover. (Source)

站着说话不腰疼
(zhàn zhe shuō huà bù yāo téng)

lit. “standing while talking but your back does not hurt”. It is a common expression to describe someone who does not put themselves in someone’s shoes while telling that person what to do.
