This week, I had interesting conversations with my students about destiny. We had conflicting views about it but I wanted to share my insights about destiny, hard work and following your dreams.

Are you destiny's child?

Tom: 嗨，Lily ,马上过节了，我想给我女朋友买个礼物。

  Lily: 哇哦，你也太贴心了，那... 你打算给她买什么礼物呀？

Tom: 嗯... 我打算给她买个好用的坟地。

  Lily:  什么？坟地？嗯...你...怎么...能这样对待你的女朋友啊？

 Tom:  嗯...我希望她的皮肤越来越好，买个好坟地有什么问题吗？

   Lily:  哦... 这样啊，那个叫粉底，不叫坟地。粉底是化妆品，坟地嘛。嗯...坟地...坟地是埋死人的地方。

Tom: Hi Lily, the holidays are coming soon and I want to buy a present for my girlfriend.

   Lily: Wow, you're so sweet, so... what gift are you going to buy her?

 Tom: Hmm... I'm going to buy her a useful cemetery.

   Lily: What? Graveyard? Um... how... how... can you treat your girlfriend like this?

 Tom: Hmm...I hope her skin gets better and better, is there any problem with buying a good cemetery?

   Lily: Oh... Well, that's called a foundation, not a graveyard. Foundation is cosmetic, cemetery. Well... cemetery... cemetery is where the dead are buried.


fén dì→cemetery→坟地
fěn dǐ→Foundation make-up→粉底
