  Hi, recently, I was asked by one of my friend to translate the sentence of "爱，�以使人���死" into English. How should I translate it into English?
  
  
  After some researching, my draft was:
  
  1: Love, is able to make people to endure and not die?

   

  But that friend was at the same time doing the finding, and suggested:

  2: Love can make people die or suffer

   

  Oh well, so what is the correct English sentence? (I believe neither is perfect, so I am on all the ears to listen for suggestions)

   

  Thank you for replying.

  爱，�以使人���死

  Nonsense......Humans can die, but love lives forever.

  LOL...BOTH WAYS ALSO NONSENSE....

  you know how much translator pay is anot. one two thousand salary a month want me to travel to china and also translate NOT CHINESE to ENGLISH but TECHNICAL ENGINEERING CHINESE to ENGLISH. thatwill cost you more like a managerial and prof translator pay. okay lah thaere are not more than one ways to translate this one. and with every different translator there comes different level of reception. we are out of school now in forum so nothing is entirely right or wrong. unless its really really way off

   

  DIRECT TRANSLATION - LOVE CAN MAKE A MAN DEFY DEATH

  but using this phrase to discribe love in chinese is really not the best option.
