    在北京-我的咖啡历史 (3 -最后的)

     

    第二位女士去外面关了门,我们等了她五分钟;她回来的时候高兴死了,说了:“在这里可以用VISA 卡。”我的心掉下来了(Do you mean I was relieved hearing that?), 看过帐单 - (居然是)788rmb. 门外面还有四个男人等着我出去了。所以我耸耸肩,也许我可以给VISA打电话取消今天的费用。

     

    “要去卡拉OK?”她们又问了我(又 is more often used than 再 as AGAIN)- ‘不不不不不!’ 

    分开后,我到地铁坐火车(or 我坐地铁)回到旅馆,然后(then)给VISA打了电话-但是不能取消。

    那个时候,我在打算着(I was planning)第二天(the next day)到长城去,过了两天再回到那个咖啡厅 


    过了两天回来了,拍照片了;老板和(那些)家伙要去来请我来喝杯咖啡,哈哈哈。

    回到天安门,从地下通道过路时,有一个女士碰碰我的肩膀。那天又冷, 所以衣服都换了,她们都不认识我了! 我用手指指着她们,并问她们:‘你们的妈妈知道你们在干什么呢?’她们突然跑走(run away)了

    我吸取了教训 - 在中国不要太友好

    Cantonese is a kind of dialect, not a foreign language, so I don't think it is too difficult to understand. Watch some tv shows/ dramas or movies in Cantonese with Mandarin subtiles for a few months, and I am sure that you will figure out the differences between Mandarin and Cantonese, and get used to Cantonese soon.

    在北京的有趣经历。(2)

    我的历史(Do you mean MY STORY?)该从哪里重新开始? 

     

    我们三个人到了一个小小的咖啡馆/厅,在里面有一个没有窗户的房间。

     

    她们两个人坐下了,可我不愿意,我说:“我想要在外面(or室外)喝咖啡”...... 所以我们就走了,再走路(What is your point? "and we walked again(我们继续往前走)"?)......

     

    外面有三个家伙(家伙is an informal and sometimes impolite word, it is totally ok to use it here, but I'd rather go with 人)在坐着打麻将(坐着(sitting) is used to show a state, so it should be put before the action verb of 打麻将。例如:他在沙发上躺着看电视:he watched TV, lying on the sofa),他们马上站起来了,并让我们坐下。


    我在菜单里看到了(看过means "have seen it before", 看到了means "saw")咖啡要四十块一杯,茶也要四十块钱一杯。唔......(她们一定不会付账,所以我要付一百二十块钱)(So you are a real gentleman, haha)。。。

    我心想:“没有办法”,(但是记起来了我的午饭只要了(If you already had your lunch, you'd better add a 了 here)六块钱 )。

     

    咖啡快来了,第二个女士(Where is the first one?or do you mean the two ladies(两位女士)?)冷得发抖,她说:“我冷死了,我们去里面好不好?”。我在回答说:’你是哈尔滨的,怎么会感觉冷呢? (我们其实不用英文嘻嘻嘻嘻)。


    商店(Do you mean CAFE(咖啡厅)? 商店 is a shop/store)里面也有没有窗户的房间,但是就是大一点的;坐下后有人在关门,我在开门,他再关门, 我再开门。。。


    我们聊了两分钟,第二个女士说了‘咖啡太苦了,点(When we want to order some food or drink, we use the verb 点.The Chinese 点 also has other meanings such as POINT, so you can take the action of ordering tea as POINTing at a kind of tea on the menu and saying "I'd like to have this tea".)茶好吧?还要一点水果、小吃的。” 

    她点完了。

     

    老板拿着一点点水果和干李子进来了(拿着 is a kind of state too, just like 坐着 before. It is like:老板 came in, having some fruits in his hand);门外面看起来站着这些家伙(Who were whese guys? Are you keeping us in suspense?)。

     


    part 3 later.

    the photo I had to use my smart phone later that week, the four men saw me and came out.

    我自己的经历~

    我大学前是英语,上大学后日语专业,零起点学日语,也有二外英语课。我最大的感觉是在非母语环境下学习外语,切换思维语言是最大的问题。上大学之前,一说用外语说话,我的语言自动切换到英语,大学后开始学日语,刚开始口语课很痛苦,因为脑子里先冒出的是英语,然后再把英语转换成日语,再说出口。我当时脑子里的语言模式只有三种:(1)母语=四川话,(2)学校所在地语言=普通话,(3)外语=英语。1和2还是很好转换的,因为都是母语级别的。而日语和英语就不行了,因为我必须要让自己脑子里多一种思维语言变成“(3)外语1=英语,(4)外语2=日语”,但是由于日语和英语水平都不太高,所以转换起来很难。后来日语越来越好了,曾经有一段时间是想说英语,脑子里先冒日语出来,再转换成英语。曾经有老外用英语问我,我还直接就给人回答了个“嗨伊”......

    直到学日语10年后,基本上达到母语水平了后,我才重新捡起英语,现在基本形成了“(3)外语1=日语,(4)外语2=英语”的模式,也能自由切换。做翻译后,觉得语言间的切换更容易了。感觉是多年的翻译经验提高了切换语言间的速度吧。

    所以,总结一下,多语言学习,有3点(1)在脑子里创建几种思维语言模式,(2)越接近母语水平,切换越自如,(3)多练习翻译,能提高语言间切换的速度。

     

    死撑着眼皮写下的这段话,不知道我有没有表达清楚.....

    The Popular Stories About Grave Robbery The Popular Stories About Grave Robbery In recent years, the stories about grave robbery have become popular. It is said the original one is Gui Chui Deng(鬼吹灯), which means the candle blown out by the ghost in English. In this story, It is said that a grave robber should light a candle and put it near the entrance of the grave room, when he/she got into it, for the grave had been sealed for so many years that there might be some harmful gas in it, or because the grave was built with many traps, such as poison gas, to protect the corpse and its treasures against the grave robbers. Also the flame of the candle could notice them of the emergency situation, when some other weird things happen, such as the corpse, sometimes the owner of the grave, transforming to a zombie as some apparatus triggered. It is said in the story that if the flame went out, the grave robbers had to give up the mission and got out of the grave room, or they would lose their lives. Although the story sounds horrifying, in fact, it is more like an adventure story and is very interesting. Gui Chui Deng(鬼吹灯) was serialized on the internet, so if you are interested in it, you can easily find it on line. There is a publish version, two manga version, and maybe next year a movie version of the story, too. It is really a long story and I haven't finished reading it. Maybe someday I will get some spare time to finish it. BTW, the writer of Gui Chui Deng was not a professional writer. It is said that he began writing the story in order to make his girlfriend happy, which is so romantic, isn't it? (^_^) Another famous one is Dao Mu Bi Ji(盗墓笔记), Grave Robbery Diary. I will talk about it next time.
