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?

那当然，因为它们是直接从日语里搬过来的，意思都是对应的。可是还有一些词汇就很有复杂的渊源。比如说“社会”这个词，在古代汉语里是“集会结社”的意思，日本人拿它来翻译英语的society，我们再借到汉语里来，才成为今天的意思。

Of course, they were directly brought over from Japanese, with corresponding meanings. But the origin of some words is really complicated. For example，''society." In ancient Chinese it meant ''to form an association." The Japanese used it to translate the English word ''society." It only came into its modern meaning after Chinese borrowed it again.
