    我 弟弟 生病 了.

    Hello! I just wrote a short letter to practice my Chinese. I know it is not good enough yet, but I wish someone could help me to improve it checking all my mistakes. Thank you so much! :)

    马 老师 :

    您好!

    我 弟弟 今天 上午 生病 了。他 今天 头痛、咳嗽、流涕,还 发烧。 他 今天 上午 没去 上学。 上午 我 带 他 去 看 医生 了。医生 给 他 开了 (past tense here, you need 了)一 些 感冒 药 ,并嘱咐 他 需要 在 家 休息 两 天,所 以 他 今、明两天 不 能 去 上学。 请病 假 两 天,还望批准(加上expecting your approval,显得更礼貌一些)。

    谢谢!


    很好!注意非常短的并列词之间最好用顿号、,在汉字之间是不需要加空格的(Different from English or Spanish, you don't need to leave a blank space between Chinese characters.)Better to add specific date at the end. :) 加油哦!

    在中国遇到的困难种种

    虽然我是一个中国文化的粉丝/粉儿,但有些事情我一直都不太习惯。例如,出租车司机常常问我很隐私的问题,比如”你结婚了吗?"我每次都给出同样的答案:"因为离婚很贵:P。"因为我用左手,拿筷子对我有点难。去中国之前我还练习怎么用筷子,但当我来到中国的时候,还是有点困难(顺便说一下,我前女友常常拿我寻开心……她很“坏”)。关于中国厕所,我也遇到问题。它们很短,而我比较高 (186厘米),所以半蹲在地上对我来说好辛苦。 :(

    * the text is supposed to be expressed in past tense


    非常有意思的文章,让我了解到外国人在中国所遭遇的难题,谢谢你告诉我们很多文化方面的差异。

    不过当理解并接受了这些差异,感觉也没那么难了吧。哈哈。

    北京人为什么用很多“儿”?

    中文有很多方言和口音,这是因为中文很难。(你认为是中文难,才有很多种方言;还是因为有很多方言,才使得中文很难?我认为是后者,所以是否可以说:中文有很多种方言和口音,这使得中文很难学。)我觉得北京口音是最难的,因为北京人总是用很多“儿”。比如例,如果你想问几点钟,南部人说:“几点钟啊?”,北部人说:“几点了儿?”,但是听起来北京人说:“几儿点儿钟儿?(我猜北京人可能会说:什么点儿了?)”。为什么很多“儿”???这个“儿”从哪里来的?也许我应该问从哪儿来的儿?

    谢谢你们的修改,哥们儿,姐们儿。

     

    比如、例如 都是举例子(for example)的意思;

    比例是proportion的意思。

    For example, The Great Gatsby is translated as 了不起的盖茨比. 了不起 means extraordinary, amazing, terrific, really something. E.g. 她是个了不起的画家。She is an outstanding painter. 这个想法真了不起!It's a terrific idea!

    In the phrase 一张圆形的桌子, 张 is a measure word. Similarly, English also has a glass of, a piece of, a dozen of, a bunch of, a group of... But Chinese has much more such expressions. Some examples: 一把椅子 a chair, 一头猪 a pig, 一条狗 a dog, 一只鸡 a chicken, 一匹马 a horse, 一缕头发 a strand of hair, 一串葡萄 a bunch of grapes, 一把沙子 a handful of sand, 一场大雪 a heavy snow, 一阵风 a gust of wind, 一片树叶 a leaf, 一双鞋 a pair of shoes ... 把、头、条、只、匹、缕、串、把、场、阵、片、双 are all measure words in Chinese.

    举几个常用的例子吧: 我对他没兴趣。 I am not interested in him. 对与错并不重要。Right or wrong is not important. 她对我笑了笑。She smiled to me. 我对他很生气。I'm angry at him. 这对/对于我来说是个好机会。It's a good opportunity for me. 对/对于这个问题,你怎么看?What's your opinion about this question?

    在我看来:因此更像therefore,更正式和书面语一些;因为更像so,稍微口语一些,也可在书面语用。两个词含义是一样的。

    Be Slower at All Things - II Not to disturb means not to intrude the children’s simple and innocent world with adults’ learning model and living way. Not to disturb means to restrain our excuses that seem to be reasonable so that we will not interrupt the children’s focus on the games. Not to disturb means just let the children try as possible as they can under the condition of safety. Even any preachy moral education is unnecessary be five or six years old. As long as parents set an example, the children will imitate their parents naturally. Not to disturb means not to damage the children’s learning potential in adults’ utilitarian way. Luckily I noticed such disturbing signs of my own. I stopped my dreadful elite education experiment, for what I faced was not a learning machine, but a spirit with rich and infinite potential.
