Clement Egerton’s four-volume translation entitled The Golden Lotus (1939) was a difficult undertaking admirably carried out. We carried out our plan. If the embryo’s electroreceptors detect the presence of a predatory fish in the vicinity, however, the embryo stops moving (and in so doing ceases transmitting electric currents) until the fish has moved on. Could you cease your noise? So far Chin P’ing Mei The Chinese University Press: Copyrighted Materials as its subject matter is concerned, Chin P’ing Mei certainly is a milestone in the development of Chinese fiction: it has departed from history and legend to treat a world of its own creation, peopled by life-size men and women in their actual bourgeois surroundings divested of heroism and grandeur. Columbia's student board asked university to divest from American companies. In view of this distinguishing feature, the hypothesis has been seriously proposed by P’an K’ai-p’ei that the novel must have evolved from the repertoire of generations of storytellers whose specialty was to accompany the recital of the tale of Hsi-men Ch’ing with precisely such songs and song sequences. I want to share with you what a recital is.

In different periods of my life, the feeling about time were different. When I trace back my high school life, it gave me a special feeling that I spent not three years but 30 years during that period. This reminds me one of my Physics teachers who explained the theory of relativity with an interesting example,which was that if you got along with your boyfriend for a day, you would think that you just spent one hour with him, if you put your hand over a fire for ten seconds, you might feel that it was ten hours. It sounded fun! So, a busy and boring life can make you feel that time becomes longer than usual. Let's get back the topic of weekends. This is Monday, I was a little bit tired of getting up in the morning. I even couldn't remember what I did on the last weekend. A busier schedule than week days made the time went really fast, which also makes the time of Monday to be very slow. Especially when I expect the next weekend , the time becomes slower. I think that only Einstein could manage the time well, other people are controlled by time. I hope that a weekend can be last longer, but I also want to have more fun on a weekend. I can't get both of them at the same time, because I live in a 3-D world, everything has two sides!

That depends on a kind of impulse. The only meaningful example I can give is when you're at the shop and suddenly remembered you were needed this thing to do that thing, and you buy it. Maybe this thing is even discounted now - what a luck! Otherwise, buying on impulse is almost always a bad idea.

Although its importance in the history of Chinese narrative has long been recognized, the technical virtuosity of the author, which is more reminiscent of the Dickens of Bleak House, the Joyce of Ulysses, or the Nabokov of Lolita than anything in earlier Chinese fiction, has not yet received adequate recognition. Adequate means good enough quality. This translation and its annotation aim to faithfully represent and elucidate all the rhetorical features of the original in its most authentic form and thereby enable the Western reader to appreciate this Chinese masterpiece at its true worth. We're analyzing rhetorical questions. The story goes that ever since P’an Chin-lien and Ch’en Ching-chi had made out in his antechamber while Hsi-men Ch’ing was lying in state nearby, the two of them, on a daily basis, still savoring the sweet taste of their encounter: Felt the chill of love by day, And the heat of ardor at dusk. We're going to focus on savoring. We're going to look at how to apply a hard restraint.
