Sample Sentences

宁可信其有，不可信其无”嘛。有些东西真的挺悬乎的，似乎真有命中注定一说。我妈常去找的那位算命老师就很灵。而且他还学识渊博，精通周易。这可不是那种随便说来骗人的瞎子算命哦。以前这位算命先生曾和我妈说，我脸上以后肯定会有点破相。结果，我初中时和同学骑车下坡时摔倒，嘴唇上真的有点破相。你说是不是很准？

Well, I guess I'd rather believe in magic than not believe in it. Some things are really mysterious. It's like they're destined to happen. The fortune teller that my mom often visits makes really accurate predictions. He's very learned, and an expert on the I Ching. There's no way he's the kind of fraud who just pulls stuff out of nowhere. One time, the fortune teller told my mom that in the future, there would be some scars on my face. Sure enough, when I was in middle school and my classmate and I were riding bikes downhill, I had an accident and there really is some scarring on my lip. How's that for accuracy?

我不赞同你的看法。这些不一定是胡编乱造。就像西方的占星术的发展一样，中国的易经和八卦也是一门占卜的学问。起名，搬迁，红白喜事都是有凶吉的讲究的。当然不排除有些人并没有真正研究过周易，却混水摸鱼，到处骗人。

I don't agree with your opinion. These things are not necessarily just pointless nonsense. It's like the development of astrology in the West. China's I Ching and hexagrams are parts of divination. Giving children meaningful names, moving, weddings and funerals: there is a lot of research that goes into these things. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that some people who haven't really mastered the I Ching just make wild guesses, coming up with stories and scamming people.
