English:
A standard polite English expression indicating that one will respond to the other person at a later time; the original Chinglish uses incorrect verb collocation and word order that do not conform to English usage habits.
中文:
用于表示会在稍后时间回应对方的标准礼貌英文表达;原中式英语使用了不符合英文使用习惯的错误动词搭配与语序。
该中式英语是中文“我给你回复稍后”的直译。英文中“回复某人”的固定搭配是“reply to sb.”,时间状语“later”需置于句末,中式英语版本未遵循该用法。
