I'd like the words in chinese (but translated in english) for the game 'rock, paper, scissors'
chica nueva Feb 29, 2004:
If this is about the 'rock, paper, scissors' game, see also http://www.proz.com/?sp=h&id=650262

better to see context. No point to list all the meanings in a dictionary

Proposed translations

2小时

rock = shitou 石头;scissors = jianzi剪子; paper = bu 布

rock = shitou 石头;scissors = jianzi剪子; paper = bu 布

Altogether the game's name is: 'shitou, jianzi, bu' '石头,剪子,布'

(Thanks to http://www.proz.com/?sp=h&id=650262.I have not confirmed this from any other source...so confidence level 3)

If Rock-Paper-Scissors game is the case, we can translate it as“石头(rock)、纸(paper)、剪刀(Scissors)”游戏。It may be a little similar to a game (石头、剪刀、布) we played in childhood, in which石头 can conquer(smash) 剪刀(scissor), 剪刀can conquer(cut) 布, 布 can conquer (wrap) 石头, and son on.
So paper here can be just translated as纸, which is similar to布(cloth) in the Chinese game.

纸,论文

If it's related to academic, 论文 for paper is the proper translation.
If this is related to the game, Rock-Paper-Scissors, 布 or 纸,that depends on the client, if the target reader is Chinese, then 布 matches better. If the target reader is American or European, then 纸 is better for the answer.
