About Me

Found an interesting and beautiful haiku (俳句) written in English and I'd like to share it with you, along with its Mandarin translation by me as well:

Fallen petals rise 落瓣既委地
Back to the branch-- I watch 竟回上枝枒--我瞧
Oh…butterflies! 噢......是蝴蝶嘛!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, there! We both know why we are here, so try me. But I'm afraid I have to say I'm not interested in any relationship other than language learning.

Sometimes I'll put down some "trivia notes". My trivia notes are kind of like mini diaries, only they’re not written everyday. If you see some Mandarin phrases that are interesting to you, we can dig into them.

And I'll update my answering records regarding Mandarin learning on my blackboard too. Hope they'll be of some kind of help.

If you happen to drop by, have some time at hand, see something I wrote that leaves some room to be desired, and would like to share with me some of your thoughts, please by all means do it. I'll be very grateful here. Thanks a million in advance. ^_^

    真没想到,在经历了前几天二十多度的燥热之后,今天一大早竟然下起了雪,刚开始只是小小的雪粒,没太注意,中午往窗外一看,已经漫天飘着那种鹅绒的雪花啦! 虽然现在的气温下落在地面的雪很快就全化啦,但在三月末还能见识到如此壮观的美

    Hello Austin, I just "found" my blackboard and saw a message from you on it. I didn't know about this feature in italki. Thanks for your supportive comments that my answers are useful! That is really great to

    一大早起来,无意识地扫了一眼窗外,简直不敢相信自己的眼睛!快步走到窗前,虽然天色很暗,但我很确定,那就是雪。一时间,刚还差点屈服于极度困意的我,立刻来了精神。洗漱完毕,飞奔出楼,这雪下的还真不小,而且还是给你说过的那种典

    哈哈,没错啦,天灯就是孔明灯啦,传说是诸葛孔明发明的,好像是战争的时候用来传递消息的。其实我是搞不懂的,飞的那么高了收信人怎么能把等弄下来看的到啊。现在就是用来许愿咯,说是因为神明都在天上,所以把愿望写在灯笼纸上,让它高

    哈哈,说来也巧,我刚好是录完央视的节目回来。这回是第三次上新东方,终于有机会近距离感受了一把老俞的风采,更为关键的是勇敢的迈出了第一步,走上台,面对大家,讲出了自己心中的一个故事,而且还是在全中国最能讲故事的老俞面前。

    我想天灯就是我们这边的孔明灯吧~呵呵,以前在学校的时候,在海边放过,看着昏黄的灯光在瑟瑟海风中一点点漂向大海的深处,然后渐渐消失在幽暗的暮色里,就好像把一个希望之火送去了遥远的未来,那种感觉真的很棒。 今年的十五是第一次没

    还有哦,不知道怎么回事,才2月,天气就热的不行了,出太阳的时候气温能到20度左右了呢。以前还得穿棉衣的天气,南方是这样,不知道北方怎么样。等我过几天到了西安看看是不是也是这么热。把窗户打开,刮进来的风也有初夏那样暖呼呼的味道

    hello,我来的时候点开你的主页,结果显示出来的是该用户档案已注销还是什么来着,我还大大地吃惊了一下呢,想说少了个聊伴了,不死心有点了一次,结果你还是在的,呵呵。这次过年的春节联欢晚会,台湾来的刘谦真是大大地出了风头啊,现在
