it's a shock to me Since I took part in ikalki three days ago, I find there is the simple kind Chinese(簡體中文), which is both strange and familiar to me. I was born in Taiwan and has been living here for more than forty years. Except two times of experience of traveling abroad, I never leave Taiwan,where is a little place, compared with many other countries. All of sudden I get the thought in my mind that the complicated kind Chinese(繁體字) is a culture belonging to a little sum of people. And I feel it is so ttreasurable for the first time.

It's (in formal writing: It is) a shock to me that the so-called Chinese means ONLY the simplified Chinese

Since I took part in italki three days ago, I have found that there is the simplified kind Chinese_(簡體中文), to which I am not is both strange and familiar to me. I was born in Taiwan and have been living here for more than forty years. Except two times of experience of traveling abroad, I never leave Taiwan,_where it is a little place, compared with (better with: to) many other countries. All of sudden I get the thought in my mind that the complicated kind traditional Chinese_(正體字 / 楷書 / 傳統中文) is a culture belonging to solely a little sum portion (or: a small number) of people [Not really. There are still a large group of supporters of traditional Chinese in the mainland China, and most of the communities overseas are so used to the style.  It is the governor in mainland China keeps suppressing it due to political reasons], and for the first time, I feel that it is so ttreasurable for the first time.

 

N.B. / 註 

 

Strictly speaking, in this world, there is nothing called the "complicated" Chinese.  The reason that it was named in such manner is solely under political background. 

嚴格來言,這世界是沒有所謂「繁體」中文的。那只是基於政治背景下,以此定名的理由。

Good day. / 祝 是日安好。

it's a shock to me

Since I took part in ikalki three days ago, I've found that there is the simplified Chinese(簡體中文), which is both strange and familiar to me. I was born in Taiwan and have been living here for more than forty years. Except two times of experience of traveling abroad Apart from a couple of times I've been abroad, I never leave Taiwan,which is a little place, compared to many other countries. All of sudden I've got the thought in my mind that the traditional Chinese(繁體字) is a cultural feature of a little bunch of people and I feel it is so ttreasurable for the first time realized how treasurable it is.

繁體用得越來越少當然有些可惜。繁體始終是個文化遺產,被一代代漢學家保護及改善。大陸在革命的瘋狂氣氛中匆匆忙忙地造字當然使它失去大多美麗。比如日本人簡化漢字時所作的改革還是保留了漢字原來的誘惑力和和諧。 同時要承認,世界上的變化無法停止,文化的生死也順其自然。歷史上很多種文字已停用,譬如大夏國創造的多麼偉大的文字,可現在也沒有人看懂。

現在翻譯著作給繁體使用者,還不是要考慮酷兒血腥語言.我是不知道,字形有甚麼重要了. 不過一般來說都夠用了吧. 其實對現在銷售文化的現象....也很無言,其實.

一方面沒有台灣的國旗.再則想學英文的人遠遠多過想學中文的.而學中文的又以簡體為主
