英语和汉语 我是澳洲人,所以英语我的母语。我学习汉语。我觉得汉语和英语差一点,不过它们也点相似。 我发现它们常常有同的词序。我觉得汉语的语法比英语的语法容易,但是它也能很暧昧。 I'm Australian, so my mother tongue is English. I study Mandarin. I think Mandarin and English are a bit different, but they're also a bit similar. I've noticed that they often have a similar word order. I think Mandarin grammar is easier than English's, but it can also be very ambiguous. 汉语跟形容词没用‘是’,但是英语总是用。而且英语的动词会变成形容词,如果你就加‘-ing'。 算的时候,汉语总是用量词。每个汉语字有具体的量词,但是人就能用‘个’。 英语有'定冠词’(the)和’不定冠词‘(a/an)。它们减少歧义。因为汉语没有它们,我觉得汉语写和说起来更容易,但是说和写得更难。说英语的时候,冠词在名词前边。’定冠词‘(the)和‘它’ (it)相似。它表示人已经知道那个东西。比如: “一只狗在房间。一只狗很胖。一只狗吃东西。”(我知道中国人不说‘一个’,但是我需要说那个意思)有多少狗?一,二或者三?说英语的时候,定冠词和‘同的’的意思相似,而且不定冠词和‘别的’意思也相似(不定冠词 的意思是都‘别的’和‘一个’)。 English has the 'definite article' and the 'indefinite article'. 写英语的时候,我发现很多的中国人写‘u'。我觉得他们觉得‘u'是'you'的缩写。那个不对。在电话打短信的时候,人说‘u'因为它写起来更快。不过它不对,而且它写起来很错。如果人写'u', 他们不妨不写冠词或者‘是’。 哈哈 汉语有很多的声音,英语没有。比如,拼音的sh, q, ch, r, x和zh (从(比如)’是‘,‘七’,’吃‘, 日,‘谢‘和‘炤’)。 Mandarin has many sounds that English doesn't have. For example, sh, q, ch, r, x and zh in Pinyin (such as in the words...). 汉语也有音调。英语字没有音调,但是二调在包字的最后字在口语表示问问题。写的时候,人写‘?'。我觉得音调很难。我不能听音调的差异,而且我音调说起来像唱歌(我不会唱歌)。我希望提高。 Mandarin also has tones. English words don't have tones, but a second tone at the last word of a sentence indicates it's a question in spoken language (it's not technically correct, and is really only used for confirmation after an inference). When writing, a '?' is written to indicate a statement is meant to be a question. I think tones are very difficult. I can't hear any difference between them, and I say them like I'm singing (I can't sing)! I hope to improve. This was a lot harder to write than I expected. I had to use a dictionary far more than I should have. I probably got a lot of words wrong in the context, so I'd appreciate any corrections I can get.

英语和汉语

我是澳洲人,所以英语是我的母语。我学习汉语。我觉得汉语和英语差一点有一点点差别,不过它们也有点相似。
我发现它们常常有相同的词序。我觉得汉语的语法比英语的语法容易,但是它也能很含糊。

汉语中形容词前没用‘是’,但是英语总是用。而且英语的动词会变成形容词,如果你就加‘-ing'。

在数词和名词之间,汉语中总是用量词。每个汉语名词都有具体的量词,比如人的前面就能用‘个’作为量词。

英语有'定冠词’(the)和’不定冠词‘(a/an)。它们能减少歧义。因为汉语没有它们,所以我觉得汉语写和说起来更容易,但是说和写得更难。说英语的时候,冠词在名词前边。’定冠词‘(the)和‘它’ (it)相似。它表示人们已经知道那个东西。比如: “一只狗在房间。一只狗很胖。一只狗吃东西。”(我知道中国人不说‘一个’,但是我需要说那个意思)有多少狗?一,二或者三?说英语的时候,定冠词和‘同一个’的意思相似,而且不定冠词和‘别的’意思也相似(不定冠词 的意思是都都是‘别的’和‘一个’)。
English has the 'definite article' and the 'indefinite article'.

写英语的时候,我发现很多的中国人写‘u'。我觉得他们认为‘u'是'you'的缩写。那个是不对的。在电话用手机打发短信的时候,人说他们打‘u'是因为它写起来更快。不过它不对,而且它写起来很错错得很离谱。如果人们写'u', 他们不妨不写冠词或者‘是’。 哈哈

汉语也有音调。英语字没有音调,但是在英语口语中二调在包子句子的最后一个字上在口语表示问问题。写的时候,人们要写‘?'。我觉得音调很难。我不能听听不出音调的差异,而且我音调说起来像唱歌(我不会唱歌)。我希望能够得到提高。

英语和汉语

我是澳洲人,所以英语是我的母语。我学习汉语。我觉得汉语和英语有点差異,不过它们也有点相似。
我发现它们常常有同的词序。我觉得汉语的语法比英语的语法容易,但是它也能很模棱两可。 

 

汉语的形容词不需要使用‘是’,但是英语总是會用到。而且英语的动词如果加‘-ing'就会变成形容词。

計算的时候,汉语总是會在名詞前面加上量词。每个汉语字有具体的量词,例如人就是用‘个’。

英语有'定冠词’(the)和’不定冠词‘(a/an)。它们减少歧义。因为汉语没有它们,我觉得汉语写和说起来更容易,但是说和写得更难(1.写比说容易,而说比写难很多=writing is much easier than speaking  Or  2. 写和说起来更容易,另一方面却也更难懂=Writing and speaking are easier, but also hard to understand)。说英语的时候,冠词在名词前边。’定冠词‘(the)和‘它’ (it)相似。它表示人已经知道那个东西。比如: “一只狗在房间。一只狗很胖。一只狗吃东西。”(我知道中国人不说‘一个’,但是我需要说那个意思)有多少狗?一,二或者三?说英语的时候,定冠词和‘同的’的意思相似,而且不定冠词和‘别的’意思也相似(不定冠词 的意思是都‘别的’和‘一个’)。
English has the 'definite article' and the 'indefinite article'.

写英语的时候,我发现很多的中国人写‘u'。我觉得他们觉得‘u'是'you'的缩写。其实这样写不对。在用电话打短信的时候,許多人用‘u'是因为它写起来更快。不过这是不对的,而且文法错得离谱。与其写'u', 他们不妨不写冠词或者‘是’。 哈哈
汉语有很多的音是英语没有的。比如,拼音的sh, q, ch, r, x和zh (例如 ’是‘,‘七’,’吃‘, 日,‘谢‘和‘炤’ 这些字)。
Mandarin has many sounds that English doesn't have. For example, sh, q, ch, r, x and zh in Pinyin (such as in the words...).

汉语还有音调。英语没有音调,但是口语中會在句子的最后提高音調表示问问题。写的时候,就加上‘?'。我觉得音调很难。我不能听出音调的差异,而且我使用音调说話像是在唱歌(我不会唱歌)。我希望能提升我的汉语能力。

That's right, they only do it because the pronunciation is the same. The same people write things like 'r' (are), b4 (before), 2 (to/too) or some1 (someone). It's only because texting takes so long.

因为“u”和“you”的发音是一样的,所以图省事发短信用“u”代替“you”, 不是么? People often use "u" instead of "you" when they text, because the pronunciation of "u" and “you” is the same, isn't it?

fortunately...mandarin only has 4 tones....
