unfortunately you have to type...but I found this thread that deals with your problem: http://www.chinese-forums.com/showthread.php?t=2182&highlight=pinyin+ruby

(using microsoft Word) "If you have the Office Chinese IME installed, you can highlight Chinese text and then go to "Format", "Asian Layout", then "Phonetic guide", it puts pinyin with tone marks over the Chinese characters in your document."

Hi Pete ^_^

Thanks for taking your time to read all those comments (mine was a more then a minute read one already...I guess).

With transporting the text into modern language I meant to take the poem and take the single sentences into modern putonghua for example:

"we would like you to inform your Chef, that this dinner was excellent" becomes "Please tell the Chef he did a great job"

Something like that...^_^

After listening to the show and watching the video and reading half of the comments (so many...) my head is spinning around, but very happy!

Here are some points that I would like to hear other opinions about:

1. I wonder why you picked a tuesday for releasing this, while this show released on a saturday would fit in the now show-less Saturday. Especially because it takes much time to take it in and a relistening is a definate must do.

2. I would love to have a transportation of the text into everyday speach. It wouldn´t have to rime. That would make it a teaching tool even for those who don´t care about poetry and it´s fun to compare the two versions (in school we did that to texts from the middle age, boy that was fun).

3. I would love to have the pinyin under the highlighted characters.

4. Will the Elvis aproach become a reagular feature? ^_^

加油Pete加油 ^_^

just checked out her newest podc blog entry:

China through the eyes of Chinglish

I realy enjoy reading her blog and since she started blogging and I wanted to comment I had to make up my own blog http://excuter.blogspot.com/

and I´m not only blogging there, since I started I integrated a status button for my skype, a twitter batch (or how that thingy was called) and Hangman+Packman :-) (gotta have something to play with if nobody is reading or commenting x_x)

Posted on: Buying Jade
January 12, 2009 at 11:17 PM

this is from wikipedia:

jade is applied to two different metamorphic rocks that are made up of different silicate minerals:

The English word 'jade' is derived from the Spanish term piedra de ijada (first recorded in 1565) or 'loin stone', from its reputed efficacy in curing ailments of the loins and kidneys. 'Nephrite' is derived from lapis nephriticus, the Latin version of the Spanish piedra de ijada.

Nephrite can be found in a creamy white form (known in China as "mutton fat" jade) as well as in a variety of green colours, whereas jadeitite shows more colour variations, including blue, lavender-mauve, pink, and emerald-green colours. Of the two, jadeite is rarer, documented in fewer than 12 places worldwide.

How can this be? When I woke up this morning every thing was alright and now... Dear Amber, I didn't comment very often, but I listend to every single one! I don't know what made you go, but may God bless you and may there be friends around you on every step you take. As the song says: it's up to you New York, New York ... But please don't forget Shanghai :-) We never met, but I will never forget the time you were near when the podcasts of you reached my heart through my ear. ^.^
