On the subway yesterday, someone next to me kept sneezing.I thought, “Oh no, I hope I don’t catch a cold,” and quietly said,“Stay a little farther away from me!” Let’s learn how to say “stay away / back off a bit” in Chinese.

离我远点儿 (lí wǒ yuǎn diǎnr)

Hello，大家好，我是Janine。Hello, dàjiā hǎo, wǒ shì Janine.Hello everyone, I’m Janine.

昨天我在地铁上，旁边有个人一直打喷嚏。Zuótiān wǒ zài dìtiě shàng, pángbiān yǒu gè rén yīzhí dǎ pēntì.Yesterday on the subway, the person next to me kept sneezing.

我心想：完了，不会感冒吧？Wǒ xīn xiǎng: wán le, bú huì gǎnmào ba?I thought, “Oh no, I hope I don’t catch a cold.”

我小声地说：Wǒ xiǎo shēng de shuō:I quietly said,

“啊，离我远点儿！”“À, lí wǒ yuǎn diǎnr!”“Uh… stay a little farther away from me!”

说完我们都笑了。Shuō wán wǒmen dōu xiào le.After that, we both laughed.
