I think zennioptical.com should go to China and save several hundred million people’s eyes. When I became shortsightedness when I was in elementary school, my mom just brought me to some roadside stall and picked one pair of glassed for me. After some years, such situation did not change so much. People in China just take selling glasses as one kind of business. They do not care about that your eyes will be blind or not.

simultaneous interpretation

Filed under: Chinese, general thoughts — admin @ 7:45 am

For foreign languages students, showing on TV, standing near to the great person, doing simultaneous interpretation is their dream. Such case is much easier than for the middle important people. Normally you can predict what they will say and the same kind of sentences were repeated for thousands of times.
In the middle important people rank, the most difficult thing is to do simultaneous interpretation for Chinese. For example, the boss of some company and some professor, normally in their talk or speech, it is full of garbage, hardly you could find any actually useful information to interpret. They spit out one paragraph of “I love poo”, and think their part was done now, and then wait for you to interpret.

Golf is kind of business entertainment. In business industry, golf is always brought to the schedule to entertain business partner. It spreads from company to company, even from country to country.

dragon and snake

Filed under: Chinese, general thoughts — admin @ 6:20 pm

I was born in China, the country that worships dragon. We were told that we were descendants of dragon. But we do not know what dragon really is. In TV, normally it was described as a mythical monster traditionally represented as a gigantic reptile having a lion’s claws, the tail of a serpent, wings, and a scaly skin. In the foreign dictionary, it is also taken as a fiercely vigilant or intractable person, or something very formidable or dangerous. From such feature, it is exactly like snake. Maybe it was just a thing that got beautified from snake.

I got to know magic when I was a little in China. But when you watch magic, you must know, all of them are fake, are not true, are just illusion, and tricks.

I got to watch Cyril’s magic some years ago. I did not think it was so great.

The impressive thing to me, is his English, You could say that he is the best English speaker of Japanese that I ever know.

Quality English Lessons

For hunting

Filed under: Recreation & Sports — admin @ 11:19 am

I was wondering if I could get some rifles from Hunting Gear and give to villagers in my hometown.
In my hometown, because people are becoming richer so not so many people are going to the mountain any more. After some years, all the plants grow up so quickly and the mountain behind our house looks like a forest. We had no money to buy coal so we always cut the bush back as firewood. These years, not only the plants and bushes but also all kinds of wild animals come back to the mountain. The villagers do not go to bother them, but they come to bother the villagers. For example there are too many yellow weasels and golden eagles and hawks coming to the village and attacking the chickens. Maybe in one hour, 20 chickens could be gone. My parents were annoyed by that very much.

It is really a scary video. But we can see something from there. That is culture background. when I began to study Japanese, we got to know that Japanese ladies were famous for serving here husband. For example they always warm up the water and wait for the husbands coming back and take a bath. But in the other hand, they are a little bit scary. We always heard about that the wives did suicide because the husbands were flirting with other ladies. Or some time the lovers force the man to do suicide together. “I want to kill you” was said so many times in this video. It is really scary.

Before I came to the United States of America, one of my friends went to North Carolina. She went there because her husband went there. USA life was totally new for me, so I soon went to check the information in the minute when she put her travel essay in the internet. Once she went to the beach. It was a very impressive essay for me, because in my life I did not go to beach so much. They rent a beach house and spent a fantastic weekend there. So from that time, we tried to do more investigation on hunting house. We checked New Bern NC real estate, they really have high quality houses there. You know, having our own house is our dream.
