他显然因此种阳刚和阴柔之分而感到自豪。其实东坡之词何尝都是“大江东去”？“笑渐不闻声渐杳，多情却被无情恼”；“绣帘开，一点明月窥人”；这些词句，恐怕也只合十七八女郎曼声低唱吧？

He clearly felt proud of this kind of distinction between masculine and feminine, but actually it's not like Su Dongpo's ci are all like 'The River Surges Eastward'". Wouldn't lines of poetry like, "Gradually, the laughter within the walls faded, and the passersby dispersed. As if one's passion was injured by the ruthlessness of a young girl." and "Through the embroidered curtain, the moon steals a furtive glance at her." also maybe only be appropriate for young girls of 17 or 18 to sing in modest voices?

哎呀，你怎么会有偷窥的感觉呢？就我个人而言，我更宁愿把博客看作一个能和朋友们交流的个人空间，我愿意把我的想法和经验和朋友们分享，也乐意从他们那里得到对我看法的反馈。这只是一个能让朋友们在网上公开交流的平台呀。

Oh, man, why do you feel that it's like spying on people? As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather see my blog as a personal space for exchange with my friends. I want to share my experiences and opinions with my friends. I'm also happy to get their feedback about my opinions there. It's just a platform that allows friends to exchange information publicly.

我还是觉得公开在网上写自己的私事怪怪的。访问他人的博客就像是在窥视他人隐私一样。现在很多人都喜欢访问那些明星博客，不就是为了了解些八卦新闻嘛，没什么意思。

I still think it's weird to write about your own personal matters publicly online. Visiting other people's blogs is like spying on them. Now a lot of people like to visit stars' blogs. Isn't it just to learn some gossip? It's pointless.
