Seventh Night It's now that time in Asia... An old poem that I had been monkeying with 袁枚's 馬嵬... 一條銀流天上河, The Milky Way is the only slivery flow in the celestial realm, 莫唱當年長恨歌. So sing not of the then Song of Unending Sorrow. 人間離别無盡淚, For there are endless parting tears in the mortal world, 更比長生殿前多. Had shed far more than those in the Palace of Eternal Life.

Thanks! 最合适的是 "to fiddle", 含有嬉戏之意, 像頑皮猴子 :)

可以说“鼓捣”或“捣鼓”，改来改去，重头再来的意思。（to tamper 更合适）。更正规的用说法“推敲”

Thanks... Trying my best to learn with a brush on Youtube... Still a long way to go :( "Monkeying" means "to tamper", "to mess around". What it means is that I am playing around with what 袁枚 had written. In another words, making paltry changes to his poem.

Hi, Jeff,what does mean " I had been monkeying"?your handwriting is pretty.
