March 28[edit]

meaning of Chinese[edit]

Hello what's the meaning of 这种不游泳比钢琴上的鸭子还重。 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A04:CEC0:1177:7B68:51A8:E2AB:44DD:14A4 (talk) 19:22, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I gave Google Translate a shot and it came back with "This kind of non-swimming is heavier than the duck on the piano." Where did you see it? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:28, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is it the duck test, Chinese style?

It look likes a duck on a piano to me --T*U (talk) 08:59, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As in the famous duck-on-a-piano test: "If it looks like a duck on a piano, swims like a duck on a piano, and quacks like a duck on a piano, then it probably is a duck on a piano." --Lambiam 11:48, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
