有点道理。很多中国人纹身,好像还是比较喜欢图案。不过总的来说,大众还是不太能接受纹身。好多人只是买一张纹身贴纸,稍微过一下瘾就洗掉了。不过有些纹身贴纸的设计还真是挺漂亮的。什么玫瑰花、卡通画、还有外国文字。偶尔尝试一下,确实也挺有意思的。

It's actually a lot of fun, if you try it out once in a while.

Uh-huh, I think it's quite necessary. Because after studying about agriculture I could see where a tangerine came from, and could see how they were packed, how to pick them. Actually, I had never seen that before, so I didn't know. I thought it was very simple--just pick them, package them and that's it. But actually, it's not that easy. There are a lot of very fine matters that you need to go and experience for yourself, in order to be able to understand. So, at least, I think I experienced, for a while, the feeling behind the saying: ``Every single grain is the fruit of hard work."
