Also still no 差点没 in SHL, but there's plenty of this type of 会 - I mean, is it even wuxia without a 英雄大会? *g*

英雄大会召开在即，希望大会上能看到两位。

is it even wuxia without a 英雄大会? *g*
lol, wuxia has so many heroes floating around the scene!

[trobadora]

I just love that wuxia people address each other as Soandso-大侠. :D

[nnozomi]

Excellent! And extremely untranslatable...

[trobadora]

Yep, every possible translation seems to come out sounding silly in English. *g*

[nnozomi]

You'd end up with something like those dumb titles Han Solo uses deliberately for Princess Leia, "Your Heroness" or something ;)
