Wo3 (My or I 我)ba4 ba5 (father, dad 爸爸) dui4 （toward 对）ka1 fei1 (coffee 咖啡) shang4 yin3 (got addicted 上瘾), ta1 (he 他) mei2 (without or doesn’t have 没) ka1 fei1 (coffee 咖啡) he1 (drink 喝), huo2 bu2 xia4 qu4 (can’t live on or life can’t go on 活不下去). Huo2 xia4 qu4 means live on and on, if add the bu4, then the meaning got negated. So huo2 bu2 xia4 qu4 means can’t live on and on. The same sentence structure: xie3 bu2 xia4 qu4 (can’t write it down 写不下去），ting1 bu2 xia4 qu4 ( 听不下去 can’t endure listening to it, means the content of talking, is not what the listener likes to hear). There are a few way to translate father in Chinese. You can use fu4 qin1 父亲, ba4 ba5 爸爸. 父亲 is more formal, while 爸爸 is more casual, more like daddy or papa.
