袖底风· 绿袖Green Sleeves---love in dismay

　　我思断肠，伊人不臧。Alas my love, you thou dost me wrong

　　弃我远去，抑郁难当。 To cast me off discourteously

　　我心相属，日久月长。I have loved you thee all oh so long

　　与卿相依，地老天荒。Delighting in your thy company

　　绿袖招兮，我心欢朗。Green sleeves was all my joy

　　绿袖飘兮，我心痴狂。Green sleeves wast my delight

　　绿袖摇兮，我心流光。Green sleeves wast my heart of gold

　　绿袖永兮，非我新娘。And to whom but to my Lady Greensleeves

　　我即相偎，柔荑纤香。I Have I been ready at your thy hand

　　我自相许，舍身何妨。To grant whatever you thou wouldst crave

　　欲求永年，此生归偿。I have both waged both life and land

　　回首欢爱，四顾茫茫。For your thy love and good will for to have

　　伊人隔尘，我亦无望。Thou couldst desire no earthly thing

　　彼端箜篌，渐疏渐响。But still thou hadst it readily

　　人既永绝，心自飘霜。Thy music still to play and sing

　　斥欢斥爱，绿袖无常。And yet thou wouldst not love me

　　绿袖去矣，付与流觞。Green sleeves now farewell I bid adieu

　　我燃心香，寄语上苍。And God I pray I to prosper favor thee

　　我心犹炽，不灭不伤。For I am I still thy lover true

　　伫立垅间，待伊归乡。Come once again and love me

Absolutely lovely!  I made several minor changes: you are granting <em>to</em> Lady Greensleeves, so grammatically you must use "to whom but to my Lady...".  "Prosper" is an intransitive verb so cannot take the direct object "thee", so I substituted "favor".  I moved "both" to "I have waged <em>both</em> life and land" because it fits better metrically.  "All" is incorrect here, but I understand you need an intensifier, so I substituted "oh" which has the added benefit of the sound of lament.  I'm really impressed at your correct use of antiquated forms -- "thee", "didst" etc.  Thou couldst more consistant be.  For example "your" should be "thy" throughout.  I corrected this.  Was the original Chinese similarly antiquated in its language?  In the third last and second last lines I transposed "I" to make it scan better.  Also this usage is quite common in Elizabethan English.  What I love about your translation is that it's quite smooth and lovely 15th Century English, but it still retains it Chineseness.  Really lovely.

What do women want? (correct me please)

Well, today I decided to talk about a new interesting topic. I was surfing the net and decided to read some articles about what women want.

Answering this question is not an easy task,: as Freud noted that he spent 80 years trying to understand what women want and eventually failed to achieve his target goal.

From the articles i found out that, women want to feel that they are with real men and like to feel safe with them, thus they like to be dominated and feel that they play the feminine role. They also like to feel good with the person they sitting with, therefore, they admire sense of humor and story telling. Also, they embrace personal hygiene, accordingly having problems with it are a major turn off.

This what came to my mind at this moment, come and share with me what do you think?

There was a boy who grew up in orphan school a school for orphans (orphanage). When he was nine years old, his parents died, so he was sent to this school.
At the school they worked hard all day like watering plants, helping in the kitchen, cultivating the fields. They were busy the whole year expect except for Christmas day which when all the children were always expected quite expectant.
At On the Christmas day they had no food, and though they were not allowed to playing but they each got only an orange each one. But everyone could not get this orange. If someone was were being punished and had violated the discipline of the school during this that year, he would miss out on the orange. They waited the whole year for Christmas day they waited for the whole year turned on them but the one boy was being punished at the in a corner of school because he had tried to escape from this the school, while all children were receiving an orange by from the principle principal on that day.

Well, I am Hesham, I graduated from faculty of medicine in Cairo, I think I am good at English but I don't talk it like a natives, this is my goal right now, to be able to speak it like Americans or British people.

My native language is Arabic, I know the formal and the Egyptian accents dialects. I did judo for 15 years, and i like it very much.

Now i am on my way to shift my a career shift.  Medicine is fine but is not for me nor my personality type.  So i decided to take the hard step and started a career in the training and development field and want to support it with management knowledge.

Gender Studies

I'm learning to Gender Studies in my university from September.
It's a very difficult problems. We had a discussion about Masculinity and Femininity two weeks ago. There was so many opinions. For example, whether or not we have to accept toilets which can be used regardless of gender; whether women have to wear feminine clothing or not; and so on.
I have some friend who are gay, transgender, and have gender identity disorder. I want to understand their suffering and make a society that LGBTQA can live peacefully.
Thank you.
