a translation i did today HOME Writing down this title, I cannot help but want to laugh. (I could hardly repress a smile/grin.) I seldom think of these in normal times. However, while the idea struck me suddenly, a lot of thoughts were ready to pour out from my mind, but I have no idea where to start. I had better talk about it in an opposite way, just mentioning what we had better not do instead of what we should do. If the character is separated into different parts, its meaning can be shown by its configuration which indicates that originally a home is obviously relevant to a sty. The development of a home is, of course, making it less and less like a sty. However, I do not like those homes that are as clean as if there isn’t even a grain of dust. A home would not be like a home if it is too clean and neat. A home is for people to live in, so I think everything in a home should not make people feel awkward or uncomfortable. Besides, overboard for a house, people would only become its slaves, looking after it all day long like a nanny, which is not worth it. An enviable home environment and all decorations in a home should be under a basic prerequisite that they serve to develop a healthy and harmonious relationship between family members. A good home should be human. The humanity of a home would be taken away if it is too clean or overnice. Some people like to tidy up their house like it is only for guests to visit, but at the end, instead of being the hosts, they become the awkward and uneasy guests in it. Among all the ancients’ annotations to home, the one that defines home as a combination of men and women is of great importance. It is men and women that are the most important ornaments of a home. There is no best furnishing. As long as you think it is good, surely it is genuinely the best for you. Different people should have a different kind of home. A uniform style is the scariest thing. Nowadays houses are mostly the same, which is already a deficiency. If, again, people decorate their houses with an identical pattern, a private house would then become a collective one. I feel unpleasant even at the thought of it.
