老外并不是都很有钱的










Lu -

Definitely is not, are most certainly not, it is certainly not so that. Gives emphasis, in this
case to the 不.










muyongshi -

Not a great way to translate it but "is actually not xxx" So in the above example: all foreigners
are actually not rich...










Lu -



Quote:

all foreigners are actually not rich

Now maybe I'm wrong but to me this seems to say that there are no rich foreigners, that actually
they are all kinda poor. Please enlighten me if I'm misunderstanding this.
I'd translate the sentence in the example as Actually not all foreigners are rich.










muyongshi -

No you're right...in a moment of confusion i forgot where to put the actually in the
sentence...guess i'm not suited to be a translator except in my own head I always understand what
I mean

I'd translate "There really are no rich foreigners" as 老外都并不是很有钱的 and "Not
every foreigner is rich you know" as 老外并不是都很有钱的.










lionheart2009 -

This should be translated to " not necessarily" . so it is actually " all foreigners are not
necessarily rich " . or "all foreigners are not rich necessarily" .










Yiwan -

I rather say 并不是每个老外都有钱.










LiYuanXi -

I think you can put 并不是 in both the middle sentence or at the beginning. It works both ways.
