- The first semester This is my first semester to study master degree in the foreign country. I feel that it is so hard, because I have to utilize the other language to study the new knowledge rather than use my first language. Especially, I'm majoring in nursing care.I study hard everyday, and stay in the library all the weekend. I hope that someone can give me some suggestions about how can I read the academic articles efficiently, and be able to achieve many assignment successfully during the research works.August 22, 201411
- An impressive journey Last weekend, I went to Melbourne to visit my friend who has migrated there for 3 years. The first thing which really shocked me was that the temperature dropped abruptly when I arriving there. It was only 9 degrees centigrade, which were lower than 23 degrees in Brisbane. And I was wearing a T-shirt like a stupid tourist, standing at the pick-up area and waiting for my friends in the night. Fortunately, I got three sunny days although I still felt cold. My friends took me to several tourist attractions, which are quite beautiful that I haven't been there before. I love the view of city there because there are many green areas around the buildings. It looks cozy and fantastic! Every picture, which I took, looked beautiful that I didn't use any special camera lens. When I came back to Brisbane last night, I already started to miss there. I hope that I can migrate there in the future so that I can enjoy the beautiful scenes every day!April 28, 201430
- It's not a holiday These days in Australia are public holiday called " Easter day " I got 4 days holiday but I have to do many homework which will be hand in after the vacation. I almost spent all the time staying in the library and studying. I've read several journal articles that I've never read so many before. It's really tired to do those kinds of things. Are there any tips for reading articles more efficiently?April 21, 201430
Are These Okay? 我已经读了他买了的书。
Okay. Now I want to practice using the Mandarin Chinese word 已经 which corresponds to the adverb "already" in English and Mandarin Chinese's equivalent of relative clauses in English (that is, "the books that he bought."). This is my first time writing and practicing any of these in Mandarin so any tips or corrections you could give would be greatly appreciated and absolutely useful. :)
1. 我已经读了他买了的书。
我已經讀了他買的書。
I have already read the books that he bought.
* Should I be saying 了 twice and am I putting it in the correct location(s)?
The subject is " I " , so you just enphasis on "I have already" do somethingyou don't have to put "了“ behind “買”
because eneryboby will know that book has been bought by him.
But if you just ask "Did he buy the book?" "他買了那本書嗎？“
the answer will be “他買了” because the subject is "他“
2. 我已经喝了一杯咖啡。
I have already drank a cup of coffee. / I have already had a cup of coffee. (More natural in American English even though you technically drank it. Hehehe. )
3. 我已经喝了她买了的一杯冰咖啡。
I have already drank the cup of coffee that she bought.the same situation with 1. :)
By the way, the photo I attached to this notebook entry is from Atkin's Farm in Amherst, Massachusetts. I mentioned Atkin's in an earlier notebook entry, I think. Anyhow, these are some of the Easter candies they were selling there this week and that you typically see in American kid's Easter baskets. :)0 votedApril 21, 20141
