Clarifying Your Accent

这里是one minute Chinese, 中文一分钟，每天都不同！ 我们一起听一分钟，想一分钟，说一分钟，今天的话题，中国人的开门七件事。
在中国，有句俗话说：开门七件事，柴米油盐酱醋茶（chai2 mi3 you2 yan2 jiang4 cu4 cha2, lit. Firewood,rice,oil,salt,vinegar,soy and tea）。柴是柴火，有了他就可以生火取暖，做饭。米就是大米这些粮食(liang2shi, grain)，油和盐，都是为了做饭可以更香，酱和醋呢，是中国人发明的调料(tiao2liao4,flavouring)，他们发现细菌(xi4jun1,germ)和粮食在一起，发酵(fa1jiao4,ferment)后，会变成各种好吃的东西。有了他们，中国菜才会那么好吃。 最后一样，茶，过去，这可是只有客人来了才能拿出来的东西，不便宜的。回头一看，中国人早上起床打开门最重要的七件事，全部都和吃有关系，看来吃是中国非常重要的文化了。

The first 7 things of Chinese people. 中国人开门七件事。

一百多年前，陈独秀先生《敬告青年》，一百余年过去，一点都不过时。这个社会被抖音短视频快手充斥，有理想有情怀的人少之又少。谨以此文，致敬经典。
我认为人在年少时便懂事，是中国人称赞人的话语；年纪大的时候却不见衰老（Keep young while growing old.），是英美人互相勉励的话语，这难道不是东西方民族的想法不同，从而导致现象不一样的一个方面吗？青年就像初春，像朝日，像百花萌动，像磨刀石上新发出的利刃，是人生中最应该宝贵的时期。

青年对于社会，就像新鲜活泼的细胞在人体内新陈代谢一样，而那些陈腐朽败的人，无时不在被天然淘汰的路上，给新鲜活泼的人腾出空间留位置，腾出时间来生活。人的身体如果遵循了新陈代谢的规律就会变得健康，若是让陈腐朽败的细胞充塞了就会死亡；社会遵循了社会的新陈代谢就会兴隆盛大，如果陈腐朽败的人充塞了社会，那么这个社会就会灭亡。
依上所述，我们的国家社会，是将要兴隆盛大呢？抑或是即将灭亡呢？我不忍心说出口啊。那些陈腐朽败的人，一听说自己是要被天然淘汰的，自然不愿意随着岁月流逝，我们对他们说短道长，希望他们能够脱胎换骨。我之所以想要这样涕泣陈词，只是希望我们国家的新鲜活泼的青年人，能够自我觉醒并奋斗！

什么是自我觉醒？自我觉醒是新鲜活泼的青年的价值和责任，是能够自我审视、认识自己而不自我看轻。什么是奋斗？奋斗是用我们所拥有的智慧和才能，奋力去排除那些陈腐朽败的人，将他们视作仇敌，视作洪水猛兽，并不与他们亲近，不被他们身上的菌毒所传染。
唉！我们国家的青年啊！我真的能够在这里这样告诉他们吗！我见到岁数处于青年，而身体已经步入老年的人差不多有（其中的）十分之五，而年龄和身体处于青年，大脑却已经步入老年的人有（其中的）十分之九了。将头发变得光亮、容貌变得滋润、腰板挺直、胸膛挺起，这就非常像一个青年的模样了，但是等到询问他们脑子里的想法和所怀揣的抱负，却无一不和那些陈腐朽败的人是一丘之貉。这些青年开始也未曾不是新鲜活泼的。萎靡不振，被陈腐朽败的人同化的有一部分；萎靡不振，惧怕陈腐朽败的人的势力的庞大，瞻前顾后地，不敢明目张胆地跟他们顽强抗争、斗争的，也有一部分人。（现在）充塞社会空气的，无论到哪不都是陈腐朽败的人吗？我们想要寻求那些少有的新鲜活泼的青年，以此慰藉我们心中那令人窒息的绝望，也还是得不到任何消息。

以上所说的现象，如果放人身上来看，人是必死无疑的；如果放社会上来看，社会是必然会灭亡的。如果想要救治当前社会的弊病，唉声叹气是没有什么用的，我们需要一些聪明地得以自我觉醒的、勇于奋斗的青年，发挥青年固有的智慧和才能，决择人间种种的思想——什么是新鲜活泼的、适用于今天世界的斗争求存的思想；什么是陈腐朽败而不应该容许被留在头脑中的思想——有如利刃断铁，快刀理麻，而绝对不抱有屈从他人的愿望的想法，（像这样）解放自己和他人，社会或许能够有清宁的日子。青年人啊！是否有能够自告奋勇担此大任的人呢？如果你们能够明白是非对错的道理，我在这里真诚提出以下六点要求，以供决择，希望你们能够放平心态细细品读。

（一）自主的而非奴隶的

（二）进步的而非保守的

（三）进取的而非退隐的

（四）世界的而非锁国的

（五）实利的而非虚文的

（六）科学的而非想象的


Chilling Chinese 

陈独秀《敬告青年》

"So" and "such" both mean "very," but there are rules for when you use either "so" or "such" in a sentence.  This episode explains.

The English Toolbox

So vs. Such

小王子仍然还不满足，
The little prince was still not satisfied.
他说，对我来说，如果我有一条围巾，
"If I owned a silk scarf," he said,
我可以用它来围着我的脖子，并且能带走它。
I could put it around my neck and takeit away with me.
我有一朵花的话，我就可以摘下我的花，并且把它带走。
If I owned a flower, I could pluck that flower and take it away with me.
可你却不能摘下这些星星呀！
But you cannot pluck the stars from heaven.
我不能摘，但我可以把它们存在银行里。
No. But I can put them in the bank.
这是什么意思呢？
Whatever does that mean?
这就是说，我把星星的数目写在一张小纸条上，
That means that I write the number of my stars on a little paper.
然后把这张小纸条锁在一个抽屉里。
And then I put this paper in a drawer and lock it with a key.
这就算完事了吗？
And that is all?
“这样就行了。”商人说。
"That is enough," said the businessman.
小王子想道：“真好玩。这倒蛮有诗意，可是，并不算是了不起的正经事。”

"It is entertaining," thought the little prince. "It is rather poetic. But it is of no great consequence."
关于什么是正经事，小王子的看法和大人们的看法非常不同。
On matters of consequence, the little prince had ideas which were very different from those of the grown-ups.
我有一朵花，我每天都给她浇水。
I myself own a flower, he continued his conversation with the businessman, which I water every day.
我还有三座火山，我每星期把它们全都打扫一遍。连死火山也打扫。谁知道它会不会再复活。
I own three volcanoes, which I clean out every week (for I also clean out the one that is extinct; one never knows.
我拥有火山和花，这对我的火山有益处，对我的花也有益处。
It is of some use to my volcanoes, and it is of some use to my flower, that I own them.
但是你对星星并没有用处…
But you are of no use to the stars...
实业家张口结舌无言以对。
The businessman opened his mouth, but he found nothing to say in answer.
于是小王子就走了。
And the little prince went away.
在旅途中，小王子只是自言自语地说了一句：“这些大人们真是奇怪极了。”
"The grown-ups are certainly altogether extraordinary," he said simply, talking to himself as he continued on his journey.

小王子第32章：不起的正经事

A cover letter from James Bond applying to be Special Agent 007.

James Bond
12 Adelaide Street
C/O Connections @ St. Martin’s
London WC2N 4HW
23rd October 2018
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please consider me for the position of Special Agent
007.
I was educated at Eton College, England and studied
Oriental languages at Cambridge University. As well
as Cantonese, Mandarin and Japanese I speak
French, German and Italian fluently.
I believe the world is heading for disaster if we do
not act fast to save it. In my opinion, the most
important work of all is the safety and security of the world and especially the protection of
our children. However, although a pacifist at heart, I am able to assassinate quickly and
quietly, if needed.
I have served as a British Intelligence Officer since 1998 and have been living and working in
many dangerous environments around the world.
I trained with the Special Boat Service in the UK. As a commando I have served in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and Bosnia where I saved 100 men single-handedly. I also served with the
Special Forces in Indonesia, China and North Korea.
I am fully computer literate and can multi-task, completing many tasks simultaneously. I am
skilled with all types of weapons including machine guns, sub-machine guns, sniper rifles
and pistols. Furthermore, I am an expert in all kinds of martial arts including Judo, Jujitsu
and Kung Fu. In addition, I am a qualified pilot. I can also drive cars and motorbikes very
fast.
In my spare time I enjoy running, swimming, diving, sky diving, skiing, jet skiing and rock
climbing. I also enjoy playing poker.
I attach my C.V for your attention and look forward to hearing from you soon,
Yours sincerely,
James Bond
