「So-so」 = 「まあまあ」　or　「そうそう」? I have heard Japanese respond "so-so" to some questions. A typical situation could be: - "Are you famous?" - "So-so," the singer said. How to say so-so in Japanese?

Nonsense Chinese poetry Different from traditional poetry, which has strict requirements on rhythm and number of words, modern Chinese poetry is more causal and thus funny. Nonsense poetry (废话诗) brought to public view by poet Wu Qing raised a debate on poetry in 2012. Many criticized publishing his poems was a waste of papers, while many followers believed his artworks revealed the essence of nature. As a reader, I do enjoy his poems. Let me introduce two nonsense poems to you. BTW, please forgive my poor translation :) 《向一只猫要一支烟》 ---|| Title: Ask a cat for a cigarette 没有把握 -------------------------|| Not confident 只是试试 -------------------------|| Just tried to 向一只猫要一支烟 -----------|| Ask a cat for a cigarette 就这样 -----------------------------|| As following 他问一只猫 ----------------------|| He asked a cat 有没有烟？ ----------------------|| "Have a smoke?" 猫跳下桌子躲到了沙发底 || Cat jumped down from table then hid under the sofa 他搬开沙发 ----------------------|| He moved the sofa aside 对猫说了句谢谢 ---------------|| Thanks, he said to the cat 《关于一个人》 --------------|| Title: Being solitary 我现在是一个人 --------------|| I am solitary now 真的是一个人 ------------------|| Only myself, seriously 在这个房间的外面 -----------|| Outside of this room 有70多亿人 ----------------------|| There are more than 7 billion

Please check my note. Here I introduce you an impressionist oil painting named The Spectrum of Happiness. Under the aurora sky, there is a street on two sides of which lights are shining like burning fires in the rainy night. In front of an apartment on the left side, a man wearing a white scarf is silently waiting for his lover. Fortunately, his waiting is supposed to end in minutes. Not far away, a girl is walking towards him on the ground colored by shadow reflections of the sky and lights. Please check my grammar. Without the following picture, could you imagine this scene from my description? I would appreciate it if you could polish my writing to make it more native. Thank you.

Life is like gambling Countless decisions have been made through our lives, but only a few of them shape the persons who we are. Life is like gambling. At the time when we made one of such important decisions, we have only a limited concept of its consequence and influence. Buying an expensive insurance seems irrational for a person who has never visited a hospital in recent three years. However, this man would appreciate his or her choice after encountering a fatal accident. Furthermore, marrying a man known for only several days is possibly romantic but risky. There are so many possibilities for us and that's why people will feel regretful or lucky someday. Mathematically, in gambles, you always have a chance to win all back as long as you keep betting. However, reality won't tell the same story since bargaining chips we own are finite. An insurance costing one million dollars is not affordable for most people and spending rest of life with a wrong man is a real tragedy. Take your actions seriously.
