    The Pain When Someone Lies

    I believe that when someone becomes familiar to you- enough that you know them fairly well and they start to mean so much to you- they realize that their words can affect you deeply, and lie to spare you from the truth.

    Although I understand the motivation, I don't like this type of person. I can bear any truth, just not the truth of knowing that someone lied. I hate liars.

    So, please, tell me the truth. I promise you that I can take it.

    Native English speakers, please feel free to correct this entry and make it more perfect.

     

    Quick logic behind the corrections:

    <em>According to me: </em>This technically makes sense, but it is rather formal and rigid (seems like you are ordering something.) "I believe" has a more natural flow.

    <em>Condition:When a person become familiar to you above 40%. </em>I understand what you mean here. You really shouldn't use 40% though unless you make it clear what the percentage of (Do you know more than 40% of all the facts about them? Do you know them better than 40% of people? Etc.) Also, this is a sentence fragment. For it to be a sentence, it must follow the pattern "When _____, then _______."

    <em>And that person is meant so much to you. </em>Should be either "that person means so much" for present tense or "that person has meant so much" for past tense.

    <em>Then that person lies because truth hurts much more to you so he simply lied... </em>Again, this is a sentence fragment (the second half of a "When____, then ___" sentence) You also don't need to repeat "then that person lies" and "so he simply lied." Just using one is enough. 


    <em>But I don't like this type of person. </em>Perfect sentence structure here. :)

    <em>I can bear any truth but not the truth revealed after he leid to me . </em>Minor spelling correction: "Leid" should be "liad." This is another sentence that is okay structure-wise, but can be simplified by just saying "I can bear any truth, but can't bear being lied to." English is different than other languages in that you can usually be quite direct without being offensive.

    <em>I hate lairs.</em> "Lairs" is "Liars."

    <em>So please people you must tell me truth ... </em>"Please" and "must" tend to contradict each other in a sentence (with one being a request and the other a demand.) Either "So please, people, tell me the truth." or "So, people, you must tell me the truth."

     

    <em>I can bear any situation</em>....This is fine the way it is, I just changed it above to make it slightly stronger and more specific. <em> </em>

     

    <em>Please English Correctors understand the thought and make it more perfect by adding their own sentences. </em>"English Correctors" could be "native English speakers."

    "Understand the thought" is kind of unclear. Maybe say "take my thoughts and make them more perfect by adding your own corrections." Since you are directly addressing "English Correctors" (or "native English speakers") here, you can say "your" instead of "their."

    我为什么学中文。 我的小镇没有很多中国人。在我的学校我们只有西班牙课。我不太喜欢西班牙文,但是我一定学外语。 然后我去过中国。我觉得中文非常有意思。我喜欢中文的四声。我觉得中文的四声一样音乐。 我回来美国的时候一点难过. 我不知道我怎么学中文。我用一个中文网站。那个网站帮助我写汉字,但仍然不能帮我的中文发音。 我去过一个中国餐厅, 试着跟服务员一起说中文。他从中国的南地方来美国。有一个口音(不是说北京话。)我也有一个外国口音。我不明白他说什么,他不明白我说什么。 我去过一个中文学校。真不幸,那个学校只有一个非常难中文课(学生几乎流利)还有一个太容易课 (老师教 “你好”,“再见”,“你叫什么?”) 我几乎放弃了。那我看见一个中国人在我的小镇。他告诉我他的妈妈是一个中文教师。现在他的妈妈是我的中文老师。我很高兴! 我依然说中文的时候很紧张。我常常错误。 比如, 我说 "我妹妹是从厂沙羚羊的。” 我的意思是 “我妹妹是从长沙领养的。” 我说“我教Sarah"。 我的意思是“我叫Sarah。” 我说“二个”,我的意思是“两个” 这秋天我会去加州理工学院。加州有很多中国人,所以我希望我可以联系很多中文 。那可能我的中文会进步。

    请帮我翻译一下这段文字 请帮我翻译一下这段文字: 1.) "I often get nervous when speaking in Chinese and am not able to express myself well. I am like a small child who can only use simple sentences, so please be patient with me if I make mistakes." 2.) "Can you speak more slowly? It will help me understand you better. " 很感谢!
