'Shiqi sui de dan che '
does that translate to Beijing Bicycle, or to something else?
shareIt translates to "Age 17 Bicycle".
sharei wonder why it is called 17 sui de danche instead of beijing zixingche,
danche can also mean "one single bike." maybe it is meant to emphasize that this is only one bike out of billions in china.
"dan che" can not mean " one single bike".
"dan che" means and only means bicycle.
"dan che" is a Taiwanese saying of bike(zi xing che).
shareshi qi sui de dan che means something i'll have 2 type more than one english sentence. shi qi sui does mean 17 years old and dan che means bicycle only but there's 'de' between them, which is kinda like 'de' in french, but not totally.
shi qi sui de dan che together means the memory of his/her bicycle that stays in the time after when he/she was 17 years old and the 2 characters dan che is very vital here, cos 1st,the pronounciation of the 2 characters makes the whole title very much something non-chinese native speaker hard 2 taste; 2nd, it's the dan che instead of zi xing che decides the type of the movies could be a non-commercial one.
