SIMPLIFIED PINYIN ENGLISH  
套路 tàolù sequence of movements in martial arts; routine; pattern
苦口婆心 kǔkǒupóxīn earnest and well-meaning advice (idiom)
摇动 yáodòng to shake
推动 tuīdòng to push (for acceptance of a plan); to push forward; to promote
教育就是一棵树摇动一棵树，一朵云推动一朵云，一个灵魂唤醒另一个灵魂
jiàoyù jiùshì yī kē shù yáodòng yī kē shù ，yī duǒ yún tuīdòng yī duǒ yún ，yīgē línghún huànxǐng lìng yīgē línghún
Education is a tree shaking another, a cloud pushing another, a soul waking another.
如果学校已经变得和灵魂教育无关，只是个培训技术控的地方，那咱把孩子送学校“控”去了，那我宁愿让孩子当个食材控，也不想让她当个写套路作文控。
rúguǒ xuéxiào yǐjīng biànde hé línghún jiàoyù wúguān ，zhǐshì ge péixùn jìshù kòng de dìfang ，nà zán bǎ háizi sòng xuéxiào “kòng ”qù le ，nà wǒ nìngyuàn ràng háizi dāng ge shí cái kòng ，yě bùxiǎng ràng tā dāng ge xiě tàolù zuòwén kòng 。
If school is becoming unrelated to the education of the soul, but only a place for mastering technology, then our child would be mastered by technology instead. In that case, I would rather my child to master cuisine, than to master boring essays.
总有一种“难”，大多数妈妈都会狭路相逢避无可避，就是永远会有“别人家的孩子”，你在意或不在意，他们都明晃晃地矗立在那里。
zǒngyǒu yīzhǒng “nán ”，dàduōshù māma dōu huì xiálùxiāngféng bì wúkě bì ，jiùshì yǒngyuǎn huì yǒu “biéren jiā de háizi ”，nǐ zàiyì huò bùzàiyì ，tāmen dōu mínghuǎnghuǎng de chùlì zài nàli 。
There is a difficulty, that most moms unavoidably encounter on a narrow road, that is other family’s child. Whether you pay attention or not, they always stand there brightly.
小学时候我们班就有三类人：“仙人”就是那种看各种高端怪书的奇葩（比如卡尔维诺的《宇宙奇趣全集》）；“完人”这种人会跳舞会唱歌会主持节目会各种乐器，还奥数好英语好钢琴八级；还有一种人没啥当，只好当“井货”（横竖都是二）。
xiǎoxué shíhou wǒmen bān jiù yǒu sān lèi rén ：“xiānrén ”jiùshì nàzhǒng kàn gèzhǒng gāoduān guài shū de qípā （bǐrú kǎ ěr wéi nuò de 《yǔzhòu qíqù quánjí 》）；“wánrén ”zhèzhǒng rén huì tiàowǔ huì chànggē huì zhǔchí jiémù huì gèzhǒng yuèqì ，hái ÀoShù hǎo Yīngyǔ hǎo gāngqín bā jí ；háiyǒu yīzhǒng rén méi shá dāng ，zhǐhǎo dāng “jǐng huò ”（héngshu dōu shì èr ）。
There were three kinds of people in my elementary school: the Merlin - nerds who read all kinds of wired high-end books (like Calvino’s Trolltech Universe Collection); the Paragon - the kids who could sing, dance, host games, play instruments, were good at all subjects, and could play piano like a professional; what was left were those kids who couldn’t be either, so they could only be “lol"s (It is lol either way).
