drifter: one who drifts
drift, drifting: literally, to go with the flow, like a boat with no rudder.

In common useage, a drifter is a person without a career or a regular job. My computer language translation program came up with a three character answer that I am unable to post, though it did a pretty good job of translating your original post (I think):

Quote:
What is drifter in the standard spoken Chinese? I try to interpret
drifter&drift&drifting to my father. I thank any help!


I pass the baton to more accomplished contributors.

Thank for help, but my english is limited. I was asking for a way to describe in mandarin, but I think I might be able to translate that explanation to mandarin to explain to father.

drifter在汉语中是"流浪汉"的意思.指的是一个人没有家可以回,只能在到处漂泊.

drift是"漂流"的意思.it's a verb.比如,这块木头在顺水漂流。

drifting是"漂流的"的意思.it's an adjective.比如,一艘在大海漂流的小船.
