最近我比較忙 最近我比較忙，有好多嘅嘢同時間發生過來。 我房間裏面好似有乜嘢家私壞咗咯， 從上個周開始就發出好恐怖的氣味。 琴日呢個味道變得非常強烈， 搞得我夜裡都牟辦法困覺。 今日仲有gum多嘅事情需要處理， 我覺得自己真係辛苦死啦！ 在呢個地方抱怨一下！

你希望怎样来提高你的中文听说能力？ How would you like to improve your listening & speaking ability in Mandarin Chinese?  :)

食醋，第二部份 我有試過山西省地熏醋，呢個味道太強，我唔係太中意。 但hei我昨日得到個五年陳釀，就有非常醇厚的味道，也唔係非常酸。 我覺得我還要瞭解更多，食醋于身體有益， 酸甜口味嘅菜式嗨東方嘅獨特文化之一。 我知道有很多嘅外國朋友，來到中國后好中意酸甜口味嘅菜式； 我希望有更多人願意來瞭解食醋嘅文化。 :D

食醋，第一部份 食醋，顧名思義，就係用唻食嘅酸嘅嘢著。 嘸好一講食醋，就想到感情問題咁。 ;D 前次我行過廣州，好少在餐桌上忒到有人食醋， 也好難記起酸嘅菜式，唔知係否南人較少食醋著？ 我始終記得，我嘅細佬嘅時候，好唔中意食醋， 但係頭先（最近）幾年，我開始發覺好嘅醋有佢獨有嘅風味。 現在我正試著瞭解山西嘅陳醋， 眾所周知，山西省，古稱晉， 晉人嗜食醋，已經是全國聞名啦。

我發現一件有趣的事I found one interesting thing 我發現很多人在學習中文的時候，都忍不住要一邊翻譯一邊學。 I found many people can't let themselves stop translating when they study Chinese. 而我記得在我學英文的時候，我的老師非常鼓勵我使用全英文的詞典。 While I remember my teacher encouraged me a lot on using full English dictionaries when I was studying English. 中文和英文是兩種完全不同類型的語言。 Hence I would propose, Chinese & English are totally from different families. 即使專業的翻譯，想完全把中文翻譯成英文都很難。 It's even difficult to a professional translator to totally translate Chinese into English. 所以我認為外國人在學習中文的時候，應該儘量避免使用漢英詞典。 Thus I think foreigners should better avoid to use Chinese-English Dictionary when they study Chinese. 否則這就會把對中文的理解變成單純的記憶。 Otherwise, it would turn the comprehending into memorizing, 這會讓你的學習變得枯燥和乏味。 then makes your studying dull & boring. 而且，舉一個“栗子”: Btw, for example: 在google詞典下， in google dictionary "good"這個詞，可以被翻譯成 24種中文形容詞，3種中文名詞。 "good" can be translated into 20 adjectives, 3 nouns in Chinese; “好” 這個字，可以被翻譯成5種英文詞彙，有形容詞，也有副詞。 character “好” can be translated into 5 types of Eng words, includes adj & adv. 而最有趣的是，關於"好"的中文的解釋和英文的解釋還不完全一樣： The most funny thing is, Chinese definitions of "好" are not exactly the same definition in English. Chinese (Simplified) > English. 好 [hao] Pinyin 1. good; fine 2. friendly; fine 3. completed; done 4. easy 5. easily Chinese (Simplified) dictionary 好 1. 美丽 2. 优良；良好 3. 友爱；和睦 請問你是願意理解“好”這個字的意思？還是願意記住所有的這些解釋呢？ How would you like to do: to comprehend the character “好”, or to remember all the definitions? :)
