(Better) Translations of: 稀罕/稀奇? In Chinese 稀罕 and 稀奇 are often used negatively to express disdain, e.g.:

ABC


  我不稀罕你的钱。 
  Wǒ bù xīhan nǐ de qián.
  I don't care about your money.


And


  你以为我稀奇你的东西？


Dictionaries often translate it these as:


  be of value; 
  be of importance; 
  be appreciated


Is there a better way to translate these?

edit:

due to the number of corrections I'm getting instead of answers

here's some proof that I'm not making this up...
稀罕 and 稀奇 are not the same thing.

The verb 稀罕 means "to value"; using it as a negative therefore express disdain. The translation given of "I don't care about your money" is quite spot on. I assume you aren't asking for a "better" translation for this.

The adjective 稀奇 means "rare", "unusual". It is not grammatically proper in Standard Chinese to use 稀奇 as a verb in the ay you did in the question, nor does it carry a connotation of disdain by itself. I'm not sure why your dictionary translated it as "be of importance" but that is clearly wrong.

Note that certain dialects (notably Sichuan but perhaps also others) do use 稀奇 as a verb. In this case the intended meaning of 稀奇 becomes "to cherish". It is however a decidedly non-standard usage.
