- Monday and a hellish morning bus Have u ever tried to push urself into an overloaded bus in the morning rush hours? Well, I have. I have been reshaped by the crowd on such a bus every morning of weekdays. I never believed how flexible human body could be like this before i started commuting by bus. Acturlly, now I don't know why people spend so much money in gyms to keep fit. all they need is simply a bus in the morning. U'll have to use every piece of ur mucsles to get urself enough space for breathing, standing and to avoid tumble when the bus changes its speed or turns. Usually it's quite an exercise and make u feel like a fighter. But things can be much worse on monday mornings. Just like this morning. When the bus arrived this morning, it was not overloaded anymore. It was overfilled! It was ridiculous that a bus could contain so many people and still move, and I even thought it was going to explode the next second. I would love to step back and wait for the next bus if i could. But i was standing right between the open door and a dozen people trying to get on the bus recklessly. Thus I was forced forewards and magically got inside the door with half of my left foot on the 2nd step only, and the worst was yet to come——the door closed. I felt like it squeezed the last breath out of my chest and i had to turn my head as hard as possible trying not to bury my face into the butt of someone standing on the upper stair. And the girl behind me was pushing my waist probably to get herself some air. Standing on tiptoe, wrenching my neck, every minutes on the bus was a real torture. I suffered for over 40 minutes till I finally got the chance to get off the bus, totally exhauted with my legs cramping and used up all the energy for the whole day. The only comfort was that I should be very lucky for the following days as a compensation for this nightmare on this hellish morning bus.April 1, 201330
生活的目的
生活的目的
我们生活的目的是什么，这难道不是最重要的问题吗？不管你是谁，是哪国人，做什么工作，这个问题一定在你的心里产生过，你同意吗？我再问一下（想知道），多少人觉得自己已经找到了这个问题的答案？如果你们已经找到了，我还想问，你们真的满意、真的相信你们找到的答案，还是你的理智违背了内心？
有人说，如果你的理智和心是一致的，你就会发现什么是真的安全感。可是，我问自己，如果你生活的意义的答案不是真的，那你的安全感也是假的吗？你的答案真实与否跟你的安全感真实与否，这两件事情有没有关系？如果有关系，那么什么问题是最重要的，你满意不满意自己的想法，能不能接受自己的答案，答案是否真实？你们觉得呢？
-------------------------------------------------------
我们生活的目的是什么不是最重要的问题吗？
我们生活的目的是什么，这难道不是最重要的问题吗？
在中文里用短句做主语的时候要谨慎，短句稍长就容易句子意思不清，或者句子不通顺。此外，在反问句中加上“难道”更适合书面语。
-------------------------------------------------------
是有什么工作的
做什么工作
"是有什么工作的" 试图表达 “是做什么工作的”， 简化“做什么工作”就可以了，意思一样，也显得句子节奏更一致。
-------------------------------------------------------
心理=what u think in ur mind
心里=in ur mind
-------------------------------------------------------
发生 is more like "happen"
产生=come into being， or "appear" in this sentence
-------------------------------------------------------
我在忖以下，多少人觉得他们已经找到了这个问题的答案？
我想知道/再问一下，多少人觉得自己已经找到了这个问题的答案？
表示“继续问”，应该用“再”而不是“在”。 why do u use “忖” btw？“i wonder”？“i wonder”用“我想知道”会比较好。 “以下”=beneath，在...之下，这里应该用“一下”（one more...，or for a while）
全文人称应该大体一致，前后文都用的“你”或者“你们”，因此这里的“他们”应该改成“你们”或者“自己”（yourselves）。
-------------------------------------------------------
此外，如果他们的情况是这样的，已经找到了，我还忖，在他们心里他们真的满意，真的相信他们找到的答案，还是他们的大脑跟心不在一起？
如果你们已经找到了，我还想问，你们真的满意、真的相信你们找到的答案，还是你的理智违背了内心？
在这里没有明显的多个并列关系，没必要使用“此外”，直接用“如果”连接前文就可以。人称问题在前面已经说过了。在一个分句中的并列短语应该用“、”而不是“，”
“大脑跟心不在一起” 应该是想表达“理智的答案与内心真实的想法不一致”，但是中文里不会这么说，用“理智违背了内心”更通顺。
--------------------------------------------------------
有的人说，如果它们两件在你生活上的事情是互相同意的，就会让你发现真的安全是什么。
有人说，如果你的理智和心是一致的，你就会发现什么是真的安全感。
“它们两件”应该是指前面说的“理智和内心”，“互相同意”不是中文的说法，应该用“一致”。“安全”是一种对事实的描述，这里应该是“安全感”（the sense of safety）。另外“就会让你发现真的安全是什么”语序很别扭，用“你就会发现什么是真的安全感”比较符合中文的语言习惯。
--------------------------------------------------------
这两件事情，你的答案是真的还是不真的，跟你的安全是不是真的，这两件事情有关系没有关系？
你的答案真实与否跟你的安全感真实与否，这两件事情有没有关系？
“是真的还是不真的”太罗嗦了，“是不是”可以直接表达为“是否”，短句改为“是否真实”，或者表达为“与否”，句子改为“真实与否”（true or not）。“这两件事情”没必要反复说。“有关系没有关系”太罗嗦，改为“有没有关系”。
--------------------------------------------------------
那，如果是这样的，什么问题是最重要的，你满意不满意你的想法，能不能接受你的答案，还是你的答案是真的还是假的？
如果有关系，那么什么问题是最重要的，你满意不满意自己的想法，能不能接受自己的答案，答案是否真实？
这个层层递进的问句写得非常好，但是第一个“还是”用的很奇怪，“是真的还是假的”是正确表达但是太罗嗦，而且整句主语是“你”，后面没必要一直用“你的”，用“自己的”或者省略主语会显得句子更地道。
0 votedMarch 26, 20131- the differences among some chinese words about "talk" I‘m trying to help a friend understand the differences among some chinese words about "talk". i never realised those chinese vocabularies were so complicated before:P 欢迎各位指正！ 说[shuo] = say ： A对B说....（A says .... to B） 他说....(he says...) 说话[shuo hua]= "say sth"，or "speak": for example: 不要说话（don't speak, or don't say anything） 他在说话（he is speaking） 对话[dui hua]= "conversation" or "have a conversation" or "talk with" . “对话”here can be understood as"对"+"话"。 "对"here is like "towards each other", like "相对". “话”means sth u say in a conversation. so "对话" is like "talk" or "conversation" and should be used in a intransitive way or as a noun. for example: A在与B对话（A is talking with B） 我们应该多对话。（we should talk to each other more.） 我们进行了一次对话。（we had a conversation） 我记录了我们的对话。（i kept a record of our conversation） 谈[tan]= talk about, disscuss for example: 老板要跟我谈工作问题.(Boss is gonna talk about my work with me) (Boss is gonna discuss my work with me. ) 谈谈[tan tan] is similar to 谈 but less formal or less serious. "谈谈" can be used at the end of a sentence as an intransitive verb but “谈”can not. for example: 老板要跟我谈谈工作问题。（Boss is gonna talk about my work with me.） 让我们谈谈。（let's talk.） * U can say "让我们谈谈" but never "让我们谈"。If u'r not sure about "谈" or "谈谈"， it's safer to use "谈谈" as it can be used more widely. 谈话[tan hua]="conversation" or "have a conversation" or "talk with". "谈话" is similar to "对话" and can be used almost in the same way. But these's slight diffence still. "对话" lay more emphasis on "对"，and it's more about the action of talking itself. "谈话" put more emphasis on the content of the conversation. * If u'r not sure about "谈话" or "谈谈" as a verb， it's safer to choose "谈谈" cuz it can be more widely used as a verb. but "谈谈" cannot be used as a noun. * "对话" sometimes is also used as "commutication" or "interaction" like in "人机对话"（man-machine interaction). "谈话" can't be used this way. 聊[liao] is similar to "谈" but more casual, more like a chat but not a conversation. 聊聊[liao liao] is similar to "谈谈" but more casual, more like a chat but not a conversation. 聊天[liao tian] is similar to "谈话" but much more casual. just a casual chat or even meaningless chitchat.March 23, 201320

3/10/2013 中文
大家好。俺很久没有写日志了，所以俺忘记了我上次写了什么话题. 据我所知（依稀）记得，俺写了象棋俱乐部。我跟几个朋友成立了象棋俱乐部，现在有差不多十五差不多的个成员。 俺上次写错了，写成十五多的党员。 写完了俺就想起”党员“是共产党员的意思。 谢天谢地俺国的政府不用看ITALKI，否则他们会怀疑我成了共产党员。 吼吼。
其实，俺老师告诉我们1990年之前你不能在上大学学中文简体字的中文，因为他们担心学简体字的中文是支持共产意义共产主义。 其实俺啥国都不支持，俺选择了简体字中文因为俺比较懒，写繁体字要用太长的时间写， 吼吼。
俺昨天在公园碰见了一个非常漂亮的来自中国的女孩儿。她给了俺她的QQ号。可是俺忘记了最重要的东西： 俺忘记问她知道如何做饭不！
说道到QQ，有人问我的QQ签名是什么意思。 俺的QQ签名 是 "What can a poor boy do, except sing for a Rock 'n Roll Band?" 这是一个句歌词，歌名叫Street Fighting Man，乐队叫The Rolling Stones。 这首歌非常有名，推荐你们去土豆听一听。 歌词翻译是 “除外参加摇滚队除了唱摇滚，穷男孩儿该咋办能干嘛？”
反正，我要跟其他的狼去草原寻找好吃的兔子吃，祝你们快乐！=============================
“据我所知”重点是“知道”, 根据上下文这里应该是写“记得”，由于上文已经说了“忘记”，所以这里改成“依稀记得”更好。
“成员”的量词是“个”，而且“差不多”应该放在数量词、动词和形容词前面。
“俺上次写错了”本身是一个完整短句，因此在“写错成什么”的名词性词组前面应该加上动词“写成”，这样句子才通顺。
“来自中国的女孩儿”=“中国女孩儿”，不用写那么多。
动词“给”后面加上“了”可以表示过去时和完成时
“说到”表示“提到”，“说起”。“说道”一般用来表示某人正在说，某些时候也被用来表示“说法”。
“歌词”的量词是“句”
“除外”最好用在短语末尾，放在名词前面应该用“除了”或者“除开”
“该咋办”对应的应该是“what should sb. do” or "how can sb. do sth.". "what can sb. do"对应的中文应该是“能怎么办”，“能干嘛”
改完啦，你中文真不错，比我英语强多了。不过为什么你要“俺”和“我”混用呢？
0 votedMarch 20, 20130- First day here It's quite a shame that I never knew this website before. I've always been looking for a language exchange partner to improve my speaking these years but never got a chance to find a proper person. There are a few agencies provide such service but they charge way too much money. Now i'm here, updating my profile and expecting people to visit my page. I wish I could find a friend here that we can talk about movies and bands and our favourite food, or maybe just interesting things around us. I'm not so sure if I can really catch up with the conversation completely in English on these topics but I'll try. Meantime I'll try my best to help my partner with his/her Chinese. We could be good friends. If anyone in Shenzhen finds interest of being my partner, it'll be even more lovely! ! We can not only chat online but also meet sometime in this adorable city and have fun together :DMarch 19, 201340
