Posted on: Yang Jie's Diary: Everyone Is Dating
September 18, 2007 at 3:56 AMchangye, I once kept a diary when I was about 10. Reading it later, it was really funny. It was full of things like, "I played Zelda today" and "it rained today" and "we had pizza tonight" and whole stretches where I forgot to write, so I wrote in "nothing happened" for each day. Ha ha... what a waste of time!

Maybe maxiewawa can share how he dealt with it? I know maxiewawa frequently reads Japanese, which would explain why the fonts on his computer might be predisposed to Japanese content. Do you also browse Japanese content too?

This lesson was a bit more light-hearted than most, but we still treated it as a lesson. If you found it had fewer new vocabulary words and grammar patterns, then I think it's just an easier (and shorter) Intermediate lesson, a kind of lesson frequently requested.

It sounds like you are OK with us posting it, so here it is! 朱琦，必须看这部电影的道理真是无数的， 太多了， 我没无法把所有原因送给你翻译， 怎么办? 我可以举两个例子送给你... 第一。 这部电影不仅是充满幽默感，加上浪漫的爱情故事， 惊讶的情节， 刺激的剧情发展等等。 第二。 你是翻译。中英翻译应该明白西方的文化。 那，这部电影是西方的最重要的文化关键之一。 明白这部电影， 才会明白我们的思想，我们的心理 ( 特别对于男人来说)。
