bangzhu wo - usage of "zhe" 着

I think the translation would be, "He is carrying two charts and went looking for the doctor." I won't pretend to be able to give a complete explanation of 着， though. It seems to be one of those characters with many uses, and don't have them all down, nor the patience to explain them all, if I did. 比如说着陆； what your flight does before taxiing to the gate.

My translation is similar to mark's. I'd say, "He took two forms and then went looking for the doctor." Chinese often strings together a number of verbs without any of the familiar in-between prepositions that English uses, using instead the assumption that we know that one action naturally proceeds the following. Regarding 着, Yip Po-Ching and Don Rimmingon's "Chinese: A Comprehensive Grammar" states: "着 is suffixed to an action verb so that the resultant verbal phrase is used as a descriptive element in sentences to indicate 'manner of existence', 'manner of movement', or 'accompanying manner'." For example: 天空中飘着几朵白云. (A few patches of white clouds were floating in the sky.) 游客们在海滩撒上躺着. (The tourists were laying on the beach.) 他笑着朝我走了过来. (He walked toward me smiling.) Hope this helps! =)

Sorry, that second sentence has a typo. It should just read: 游客们在海滩上躺着. without the 撒

The usage of 着 is also shortly addressed in the following CPod lessons: Upper Intermediate: Chinese Commuters Intermediate: Christmas Intermediate: Introducing Oneself to the Family

Henning, 我佩服你。 我以为我努力学习中文博课，但是你让我知道我应该有更谦虚的态度。
