我像爱盐一样爱你 （Love as salt）
So this is my progress on learning a short story, being taught to me by Hugh Wang.
很久很久以前，有一个国王和他的三个女儿。一天，国王想知道哪个女儿最爱他。因此国王叫来了他的三个女儿，并问到：“你们每个人有多爱我？”。最大的女儿说：“我爱你就像我爱黄金一样”。国王很高兴。地第二个女儿回答说：“我爱你就像我爱钻石一样”。（其实最精彩的是三女儿的回答。所以我来把这个故事讲完吧！）三女儿回答说：“我爱您就像爱盐一样。” 国王听了很生气，问：“你怎么能用这么低贱（cheap)的东西和我相比呢？” 于是，国王把三女儿赶出了王宫。一位仆人很想帮助这位可怜的公主，也想让国王明白一个道理，就为国王举办了一场丰盛的宴席（banquet)，国王非常高兴。但是当国王开始吃菜的时候，却发现每一道菜都没有味道，因为所有的菜都没有放盐。这时国王才明白盐在生活中有多重要，也明白了三女儿对他的爱。最后国王把三女儿接回了王宫。
希望你喜欢这个故事！

昨天我的父母来去参观拜访我。我从我的家开车到飞机场开车去接他们。 （visit someone意思是拜访某人，飞机场可以简称为机场，my house就是“我家”的意思，我们一般不说“我的家” 。I drove from my house可以直接翻译成“我从家开车”，“我从我的家开车” there's no need to use two 我. Normally we drop the subjective if it's the same as the former one.

0 votedNovember 17, 20142- Slow Chinese Hey guys! This is my first article and I'm gonna write about the podcast some friends and I launched a few years ago. It's called Slow Chinese and it's a chinese podcast for foreigners who are interested in learning Chinese culture, society, history and tradition and so on. I'm one of the three authors. I do broadcasting, too. Recently I wrote about the 11.11 festival in China, which is like "Cyber Monday" in the US. Check it out and give us some advices! www.slow-chinese.com I discovered italki.com today through a podcast called "Penji and Jenny tell you". I really love learning different languages. My father is an English professor, so I started to learn English since I was little. I majored in German in college and spent one year in Germany. Now I often use English and German at work. I'm willing to help people who want to learn Chinese mandarin. Practice makes perfect! If we want to improve our language skills, all we need to do is to use the language, right?November 13, 201420
