Regret
Michael from Pennsylvania requested the Chinese translation for “regret,” as in “Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.” (Just call me a deep, deep man. haha.)

… where essentially the first character can mean “left behind” and the second character means “regret.”
You might wonder whether you can use the second character by itself… the short answer is no. When talking about “regret,” it’s standard practice to use both characters together.
Want to see these characters embroidered on a women’s or unisex t-shirt? Or on a women’s or unisex tank top? Click the appropriate preceding link. Got a translation request of your own? Contact me!
