无题（太懒了，连题目都不想想了）

我的拖延症又发作，一直拖到今天星期日才更新博客，最近想换个地方继续写博客，如果有比较好的博客推荐请留言给我。

因为这周我实在想不出来想写什么，我就给大家推荐我最近在看的电视剧“Person of Interest”还有一本书，是写弗洛伊德的一本书，”一个偶像的黄昏：弗洛伊德的谎言”，原作者是法国人，我看的是翻译成中文的版本。弗洛伊德是一个非常有名的权威性的心理学家，但我个人对他的解释和看法很有保留。

我是想学法语的，可我的西班牙语也不能落下。。。（学习一门语言最大的动力来自于兴趣，学西班牙语的最初动力是因为我喜欢西班牙语歌曲，现在想学法语的其中一个原因是因为法国文学，特别是因为我很喜欢莫泊桑的小说，总想着有一天我能看原版）

今天先写到这里

Untitled (too lazy, I don’t even want to think of a title)

I didn’t update my blog until Sunday (today) due to my bad habit of procrastination. Recently, I want to change platform to write my blog. If there is a better blog platform that you can recommend, please leave me a message.

Because I really can’t think of what I want to write this week, I would recommend the TV series "Person of Interest" I watched recently and a book about Freud, "Le crépuscule d'une idole (essai français) " (Translated directly into English should be: “The Dusk of An Idol ”), the original author is French, I read the version that’s translated into Chinese. Freud is a very famous authoritative psychologist, but I personally have reservations about his explanations and opinions.

I want to learn French, but I have to improve my Spanish too. . . (The greatest motivation for learning a language comes from interest. The original motivation for learning Spanish for me was because I like Spanish songs. One of the reasons why I want to learn French now is because of French literature, especially because I like Maupassant’s novels. I hope that I can read his books in French one day)

That’s all for today

给大家推荐几本书

不好意思最近我有点懒，没更新博客。最近我在忙着整理电子书。无论是纸质书还是电子书，都是很多买了但放在那里还没看，我这个喜欢囤东西的习惯很不好。

因为疫情，有很多人觉得大多数时间在家所以很无聊，觉得没有生活趣味。即使我知道我接下来说的话会冒犯很多人，但我还是要说。很多人觉得在家无聊，那是他们的人生本来就无聊，他们无法享受一个人的时间。当你有固定的爱好（不是那种睡觉，逛街购物的爱好），我指的是有持续的能够让你有长远产生深度愉悦感的爱好（这里请自行上网查下心理学概念“心流”），就不需要一天到晚都要有人陪和进行一些无效社交。

好了，我吐槽了这么一大段之后，说说我最近看的书。一本书是讲武瞾的，中国惟一的女皇，我看的是中文版，就是翻译的。作者是美国人。一般来说我看英文书都是看原版，但涉及中国历史的除外，因为看用英语写的版本我在自己脑子里还要把英语翻译成中文再去想那个词的中文是什么就显得很麻烦，不如看中文来得直接。这本书是我看过写武瞾写的最客观的书，终于有人不再因为她是女性而对她有那么多不公平的评论。（书本的链接我会放在文章最后）

另一本我想看但一直没有看完的是《百年孤独》，这本书很经典，可以说是在全世界都非常有名的一本书，我中学的时候看过一点点中文版（那时候我还没开始学西班牙语），但就算是中文我也看得很费劲。我有朋友跟我说，这本书你必须要有一定程度的生活阅历才能看懂。最近把这本书的西班牙语原版翻出来，准备认真看一遍。

（我本来想着把博客的中文内容写得简单点，但我后来觉得我就按自己喜欢的方式写才更接近真实的，生活里的文章，看不懂不要紧，坚持下来，学习从来就不是一个短暂的过程，慢慢看多了也就看懂了。）

Recommendation of books

I'm sorry I'm a bit lazy recently and I haven't updated my blog. Recently I am busy organizing e-books. Whether it’s paper books or e-books, I bought a lot but I haven’t read them yet. My habit of hoarding things is very bad.

Because of the epidemic, many people feel bored at home most of the time, and feel that there is no joy in life. Even if I know that what I am going to say next will offend many people, I still have to say it. Many people find it boring staying at home, because their lives are already boring, and they cannot enjoy their time alone. When you have a fixed hobby (not that kind of hobby like sleeping, shopping and shopping), I mean having a hobby that can make you have a deep sense of pleasure in the long-term (please check the psychological concept "flow" online), there is no need for someone to be accompanied all the time or engage in some ineffective social interactions all day long.

Okay, after making complaints for a long time, I will talk about the books I read recently. A book is about Wuzhao, the only empress of China. I read the Chinese version, which is translated. The author is an American. In general, I read English books from the original version, except for those involving Chinese history, because when I read the English version of Chinese history, I still have to translate English into Chinese in my mind and then think about the Chinese of that word and it would be annoying. It is better to read Chinese history in Chinese directly. This book is the most objective book I have ever read written by Wuzhao. Finally, there is a writer who doesn’t make so many unfair comments about her just because she is a woman. (I will put the link of the book at the end of the article)

Another book I want to read but I haven’t finished reading is "One Hundred Years of Solitude". This book is very classic. It can be said that it is a very famous book worldwide. I read the Chinese version a little bit when I was in high school (that I hadn't started learning Spanish at that time), but even in Chinese I found it very hard to read. A friend of mine told me that you must have gained some life experience to understand this book. I recently took out the original Spanish version of this book and I am going to read it carefully.

(I wanted to make the Chinese content of the blog simpler, but later I felt that I would just write the way I like, and made the passage look closer to what we really read in real life. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the article now. Keep reading, learning is never a short-term process. Slowly but keep reading then you will find yourself understand more.)

值得看的纪录片

这又是我自己写的一篇短文。

今天要给大家介绍两部我最近看的纪录片，一部是英语的另一部是中文的。英语的是网飞在2020年初的一部纪录片，中文翻译是：愿者上网（如果您是初学者，我不建议去研究这翻译的名字，因为并不是完全按字面翻译的，而是按影片内容翻译的，英文是Social Dilemma，直接翻译意思是：困境，两难的局面，但片名是：愿者上网，直接翻译意思就是愿意的人上网，但这里还有另一层意思，因为“愿者上钩”是一个成语，有兴趣知道的我在文章最后加一个链接大家可以去看这个成语的故事，但在文章里我就不介绍了）。

给大家推荐这部“愿者上网”的影片，是要大家去思考我们的生活和网络的关系，究竟我们在多少网络的影响下做出了多少自己不自觉的行为和决定？我很喜欢经济学上的一句谚语（我爸爸在我很小的时候就教我）“天下没有免费的午餐”，在这部影片里，我记忆最深的一句话就是：“如果你不为你用的产品付费，你就是这个产品。”（这句我自己翻译成中文的）

这部纪录片是我今年看过最好的，最让人深思的纪录片，值得推荐。

"Social Dilemma" from Netflix

另一部纪录片，是“舌尖上的中国”，直接翻译China on the tip of tongue。这部纪录片就是介绍中国各地的美食，官方翻译是：a bite of China。建议不要再肚子饿的时候看，要减肥的朋友就更加不要看了。。。作为一部轻松的学习中文的纪录片来说还是不错的，但里面的用词比较多和复杂，初学者未必能够看懂（没关系，还有字幕）。

今天就先介绍到这里吧。

Documentaries that are worth watching

This is another short article written by myself.

Today I want to introduce to you two documentaries I watched recently, one in English and the other in Chinese. The English one is a documentary produced by Netflix in early 2020. The Chinese translation is: 愿者上网 (If you are a beginner, I don’t recommend to study the translated name, because it is not completely translated literally, but it is translated according to content of the film, in English is “Social Dilemma”, but the title “愿者上网”, if translated directly (word by word) it means that the person who is willing to go online goes online, but there is another meaning here, because "愿者上钩 "It is an idiom（“a willing victim letting himself be caught of his own will”）. If you are interested in the idiom, I will add a link at the end of the article. You can read the story of this idiom, but I will not explain here now).

The reason for recommending "Social Dilemma" is this documentary is for everyone to think about the relationship between our lives and the Internet. How many unconscious behaviors and decisions have we made under the influence of the Internet? I really like a proverb in economics (my father taught me when I was a kid) "There is no free lunch in the world". In this film, the most impressive sentence I remember is: "If you don’t pay for the product, you are the product.”

“Social Dilemma” is the best and most thought-provoking documentary I have watched this year. It is worth recommending.

Another documentary, "舌尖上的中国", directly translated China on the tip of tongue. This documentary introduces the cuisines from all over China. The official translation is: “a bite of China”. It is recommended not to watch it when you are hungry, especially if you want to lose weight. . . It's good as a documentary about learning Chinese easily, but the words in it are more complicated and may not be understood by beginners (it doesn't matter, there are subtitles).

That’s all for today.....

中秋节快乐

这是我自己写的一篇短文。

农历的8月15日是中秋节，恰好是公历的10月1日，也是中国的国庆节，所以在中国的朋友们都能享受连续几天的假期。

关于中秋节的来历和月饼的做法我会在文章最后的链接里分享给大家。

最近这两天在家忙着做月饼，终于昨晚做好了。。。用了差不多两天的时间做月饼，但看到自己做好的月饼的时候还是有成就感的。。。（没办法，我家附近卖的月饼真的又贵又难吃，被迫自己做，估计下年还是要自己做月饼）。自己做月饼还有一个原因就是想有点仪式感和增加节日气氛。我不是一个很有耐心的人，但在做月饼的时候，一边做一边想，现在很多产品，包括食物都是快速生产的，我们在不断地追求“快”，但很多东西，是快不了的，特别是有传统，有内涵的东西。“快”只会让东西失去了原来的味道，就像“快餐”一样。

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

This is a short article written by myself.

August 15th of the lunar calendar is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which happens to be October 1st of the Gregorian calendar, which is also China's National Day, so friends in China can enjoy several consecutive days of public holidays.

About the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the recipe of moon cakes, I will share with you in the links at the end of the article.

I have been busy making mooncakes at home for the past two days, and finally finished making them last night. . . It took about two days to make mooncakes, but when I saw the mooncakes I made, I still felt a sense of accomplishment. . . (I have got no choices, the mooncakes sold near my home are really expensive and taste bad, so I have no choice but make them by myself. I think I will make mooncakes by myself next year too) Another reason to make mooncakes by yourself is to have a sense of ritual and increase the festive atmosphere. I am not a very patient person, but when making mooncakes, I was thinking during the process. Nowadays, many products, including food, were produced quickly. We are constantly pursuing "fastness", but many things cannot be acquired fast, especially for things with tradition and meanings. "Quick" will only make things lose their original taste, just like "fast food".

纸质书好还是电子书好？

很多人在看书时就会纠结这个问题：纸质书好还是电子书好？

这个问题，有个朋友说了她的亲身经历：

“年初的我给自己定下了读书计划，但之后因为忙碌的工作，几乎没有时间再碰书本，眼看定下的读书目标就要失败。这时，一个朋友建议我不如尝试电子书，因为便于携带，阅读的动力会更大一些。于是，我购入了一台kindle，还一口气下载了几百本电子书籍，指望这个新科技产品能发挥它的强大功能……结果，新的读书方式并没有起作用，计划依旧没有实现。”

Is a paper book better or an e-book better?

Many people struggle with this question when reading books: Is a paper book better or an e-book better?

On this question, a friend said about her personal experience:

"At the beginning of the year, I set a reading plan for myself, but afterwards, because of my busy work, there was almost no time to touch the books. It seems that the reading goal I set was about to fail. At this time, a friend suggested that I should try e-books because it is convenient carrying so I will be more motivated to read. So, I bought a kindle and downloaded hundreds of e-books in one go, hoping that this new technology product can exert its powerful functions... As a result, the new way of reading didn't work, and the reading plan still has not been completed."

　　而对于书迷来讲，英文剧集将面临的东西方文化的差异和冲突或许更让人担心。《三体》小说中具有中国特色的剧情该怎么改编？

《这！就是街舞》第三季：火得有理

作为一档已经办到第三季的节目来说，很多街舞套路观众看着已不再新鲜，如何让节目的舞蹈具有新意和观赏性？节目组的做法是加强制作、强化竞争，提高齐舞比重，突出创意。

节目赛制的竞争性非常强。不仅选手之间竞争，也包括队长之间的竞争。由此也诞生了一幕幕经典的场景。

相比前两季，四位队长全部换新，这曾引起了一些质疑。但节目开始后，人们也看到了几位队长身上所显现的专业性。

"Street Dance of China" Season Three: It is popular for a reason

As a show that has reached the third season, many street dancing tricks are no longer new to the audience. How to make the show's dance innovative and enjoyable? The TV show crew tried to strengthen production, strengthen competition, increase the proportion of group dance, and highlight creativity to reach their goal.

The rules of the show is very competitive. There is not only competition between players, but also competition between captains. A series of classic scenes were made from that.

Compared with the previous two seasons, all four captains were replaced, which has caused some doubts. But after the show started, people also saw the professionalism of several captains.

For me, it is not realistic to go swimming every day but it might worth trying to learn to dance. I love Mongolian dancing but it will be hard to start because the basics required for Mongolian dancing is not basic at all for me…And it is not easy to find a good teacher to teach this kind of dancing if you are not in Asia…😣🙄But learning Hiphop can be easier, there are tons of videos teaching hiphop dancing so I guess I will try to learn soon.

日本空中飞车载人试飞成功 或于2023年投产

最近，日本科技公司“SkyDrive”将梦想照进现实，研发了一款“空中飞车”，并首次公开了载人试飞画面。

这款飞车装有八个螺旋桨，可以垂直起降，在测试过程中飞行了4分钟。据了解，该飞车与飞机和直升机功能不同，可以为单人提供点对点短途飞行，不需要机场，还可以帮助人们躲避堵车的烦恼。其最高时速能达到每小时50公里。

不过SkyDrive表示，目前这款空中飞车的安全性能还有待提高，而且电池蓄电能力也非常有限。公司计划于2023年将该产品投入使用。

据SkyDrive负责人介绍，目前全世界共有100多个空中飞车项目正在研发中，其中有10家公司的空中飞车取得了成功。不过想让空中飞车真正成为被人们接受的交通工具，恐怕还是面临诸多挑战。比如提高飞车电池的蓄电能力，设计空中交通规则与相关基础设施建设等等。

Japan's aerial vehicle pilots successfully test flight, or start production in 2023

Recently, the Japanese technology company "SkyDrive" brought dreams into reality, developed a "flying car", and released the manned test flight for the first time.

This speed car is equipped with eight propellers and can take off and land vertically. It flew for 4 minutes during the test. It is understood that the flying car has different functions from airplanes and helicopters. It can provide a single person with point-to-point short-distance flight without an airport, and it can also help people avoid traffic jams. Its top speed can reach 50 kilometers per hour.

However, SkyDrive said that the current safety performance of this flying car needs to be improved, and the battery storage capacity is also very limited. The company plans to put the product into use in 2023.

According to the person in charge of SkyDrive, there are currently more than 100 flying car projects in the world under development, of which 10 companies have achieved success in flying cars. However, if you want to make the flying car a truly accepted means of transportation, I am afraid that there are still many challenges. For example, improve the storage capacity of the battery of the speed car, design air traffic rules and related infrastructure construction, etc.

今天是比较特殊的节日，叫七夕，是一个比较传统的中国情人节，还有一个中国情人节在农历新年之后，叫做“元宵节”（值得留意的是“元宵”不是灯笼的意思，但英文里翻译成“灯笼节”，这跟元宵节的活动内容有花灯的传统有关），虽然我所在的地方感受不到任何的节日气氛（这两个节日详细介绍请看文章最后的参考资料）

现在我都很少过什么节日了，越来越商业化的节日让我觉得没什么意义。

今天给大家推送我最近看到的比较有趣（好玩）的新闻。

Today is a special festival called Qixi, which is a more traditional Chinese Valentine’s Day. There is also a Chinese Valentine’s Day after the Lunar New Year called "Lantern Festival"(pinyin: yuánxiāo jié) (It is worth noting that "Yuanxiao" does not mean lantern, but in English It is translated into "Lantern Festival", which is related to the tradition of lantern festival activity content), although I can't feel any festive atmosphere in the place where I live (for detailed introduction of these two festivals, please see the reference at the end of the article)

Now I rarely celebrate any festivals, and the increasingly commercialized festivals make me feel meaningless.

Today I will show you some interesting (fun) news that I have seen recently.

（首先声明，我没有收广告费啊，主办方应该给我广告钱，今天这篇新闻有点长，还有我文章里所有的新闻我都剪辑过，没把原文放出来，有兴趣看原文的自己在文章最后参考资料里找来看（再次说明为什么要学外语，哈哈，第一手资料自己看被欺骗的可能性会少很多））

(First of all, I declare that I don’t earn anything for advertising. The host of the “game” should pay me for “advertising”. The news I show today is a bit long, and I have edited all the news in my article. I didn’t release the original text. Those who are interested in reading the original text can look for it in the reference materials at the end of the article (again, explain why we need to learn a foreign language, haha, reading the first-hand information is much less likely to be deceived))

原标题：《黑神话·悟空》背后的制作公司：主创腾讯出身，英雄互娱参股

yuán biāotí:“Hēi shénhuà·wùkōng” bèihòu de zhìzuò gōngsī: Zhǔchuàng téngxùn chūshēn, yīngxióng hù yú cān gǔ

Original title: The production company behind "Black Myth: Wukong": the main creator was former employee of Tencent, and Ying Xiong Hu Yu holds shares.

8月20日上午10点，《黑神话：悟空》13分钟实机演示在B站上线。

发布2小时冲上B站热门第一，超6万人同时在线观看，一天之内播放量破1300万，15万条评论。

这是过去从未有过的盛况，甚至还引发了全网讨论。

在知乎，《黑神话·悟空》的相关话题排在热榜第二，热度达到1959万；波兰游戏开放商CD PROJEKT的官号也在B站评论区直言“太酷了”。

甚至在外网，知名游戏媒体PC Gamer、Kotaku的官方推特都转发了这条视频，推文中「MonkeyKing」格外显眼。

At 10 am on August 20th, the 13-minute live demonstration of "Black Myth: Wukong" was launched at website Bilibili.

It became the No. 1 hot spot at website Bilibili in 2 hours. Over 60,000 people watched online at the same time. In one day, it had 13 million views and 150,000 comments.

This is a grand occasion that has never been seen in the past, and even triggered discussions across the Internet.

On Zhihu, the related topics of "Black Myth: Wukong" ranked second on the hot list, with a popularity of 19.59 million; the official account of the Polish game developer CD PROJEKT also bluntly stated "too cool" in the comment section of Bilibili.

Even on the external network, the official Twitter of well-known game media PC Gamer and Kotaku have reposted this video, and "MonkeyKing" is particularly prominent in the tweet.

一切显得突然却又真实。8月20日之前，《黑神话：悟空》和它的制作公司游戏科学还是一个名不见经传的小工作室，8月20日之后，形势发生了翻天覆地的转变。

游戏媒体触乐在一篇文章里写道，视频火爆之后，游戏科学创始人冯骥的微信瞬间就被挤爆了，有祝贺的、询问的、寻求合作的……

而这，恰恰是《黑神话：悟空》最需要的。

腾讯出身、30人团队、求贤若渴

游戏科学联合创始人招招在知乎回答，「这次视频的最大目的确实是招人，我们放出视频也是证明我们这个团队是有能力去做这个事情，值得大家加入。」

Yīqiè xiǎndé túrán què yòu zhēnshí.8 Yuè 20 rì zhīqián,“hēi shénhuà: Wùkōng” hé tā de zhìzuò gōngsī yóuxì kēxué háishì yīgè míng bùjiàn jīngzhuàn de xiǎo gōngzuò shì,8 yuè 20 rì zhīhòu, xíngshì fāshēngle fāntiānfùdì de zhuǎnbiàn.

ér zhè, qiàqià shì “hēi shénhuà: Wùkōng” zuì xūyào de.

Téngxùn chūshēn, 30 rén tuánduì, qiú xián ruò kě.

yóuxì kēxué liánhé chuàngshǐ rén zhāo zhāo zài zhī hū huídá,`zhè cì shìpín de zuìdà mùdì quèshí shì zhāo rén, wǒmen fàngchū shìpín yěshì zhèngmíng wǒmen zhège tuánduì shì yǒu nénglì qù zuò zhège shìqíng, zhídé dàjiā jiārù.'

Everything seemed sudden but real. Before August 20th, "Black Myth: Wukong" and its production company Game Science were still little-known small studios. After August 20th, the situation changed drastically.

The game media Chule wrote in an article that after the video became popular, the WeChat account of game science founder Feng Ji was instantly overwhelmed. There were congratulations, inquiries, and seeking for cooperation...

And this is exactly what "Black Myth: Wukong" needs most.

Born in Tencent, 30-person team, eager for talents

The co-founder of Game Science Recruitment Zhihu replied, "The biggest purpose of this video is indeed to recruit people. Our release of the video also proves that our team is capable of doing this, and it is worth joining."

游戏科学全栈工程师戴巍在知乎透露，实机视频远未达标，只是用现有条件缝缝补补，以美术伎俩遮掩技术缺陷罢了。「一些评论指出的问题确实存在，我们自己知道的问题比大家看到的还要多。」

甚至游戏科学还在官网放出答疑文档，其中第一条赫然写着：“为什么选择在这个时间发布《黑神话·悟空》的早期视频？”回答是，“真的缺人。”

根据公开信息，游戏科学团队规模目前为30人，而去年只有13人。

Yóuxì kēxué quán zhàn gōngchéngshī dài wēi zài zhī hū tòulù, shí jī shìpín yuǎn wèi dábiāo, zhǐshì yòng xiàn yǒu tiáojiàn féng féngbǔ bǔ, yǐ měishù jìliǎng zhēyǎn jìshù quēxiàn bàle.`Yīxiē pínglùn zhǐchū de wèntí quèshí cúnzài, wǒmen zìjǐ zhīdào de wèntí bǐ dàjiā kàn dào de hái yào duō.' Shènzhì yóuxì kēxué hái zài guānwǎng fàng chū dáyí wéndàng, qízhōng dì yī tiáo hèrán xiězhe:“Wèishéme xuǎnzé zài zhège shíjiān fābù “hēi shénhuà·wùkōng” de zǎoqí shìpín?” Huídá shì,“zhēn de quē rén.” Gēnjù gōngkāi xìnxī, yóuxì kēxué tuánduì guīmó mùqián wéi 30 rén, ér qùnián zhǐyǒu 13 rén.

Dai Wei, a game science full-stack engineer, revealed in Zhihu that the actual video is far from up to the standard, and it is just sewing and patching with existing conditions, and using art tricks to cover up technical defects. "Some of the problems pointed out by the comments do exist, and we know more of the problems than everyone sees."

Even Game Science has released Q&A documents on its official website. The first one reads: "Why did you choose to release the early video of "Black Myth: Wukong" at this time?" The answer is, "Really lack of employees."

According to public information, the game science team currently has 30 employees, compared with only having 13 employees last year.

大西洋塑料垃圾数量远超预计

英国《自然·通讯》18日发表一项最新报告，英国国家海洋中心报告称：大西洋上层200米约有1200万到2100万吨微塑料垃圾。仅对其中三种最多的塑料进行定量分析，显示整个大西洋中的塑料数量，远远高于以前所有能确定的数量。

此外，在整个海洋范围内，塑料垃圾影响的广度和深度也远超想象。据英国埃克塞特大学和澳大利亚昆士兰大学近日联合发布一项最新研究显示，在5种不同的海鲜样本中都发现了塑料残留物。

The amount of plastic waste in the Atlantic far exceeds expectations

The British "Nature Communications" published a new report on the 18th. The British National Ocean Center reported that there are about 12 million to 21 million tons of microplastics in the upper 200 meters of the Atlantic Ocean. Quantitative analysis of only the three largest plastics shows that the number of plastics in the entire Atlantic Ocean is much higher than all the previously determined quantities.

In addition, in the entire ocean, the breadth and depth of the impact of plastic waste is far beyond imagination. According to a recent study jointly released by the University of Exeter in the UK and the University of Queensland in Australia, plastic residues were found in 5 different seafood samples.

1. Attention:

   1. 发音及多音字（Pronunciation and heteronym）

      • 垃圾：lājī (n.) rubbish

        lèsè(I found it translated into this pinyin when I used some translator online, in Taiwan they pronounced it “lèsè", in Mainland China it is pronounced “lājī”, just like potato, po-tah-to….when there is an exam of hsk you know what you need to write, I suddenly remember one of the exams when I was in University I wrote”color” instead of “colour”, the teacher gave me a “X” and said it was typo..(rolled my eyes……). There are interesting differences between the pronunciation of “standard” one and the others, maybe I will explain later if I have time…)

      • 海鲜：hǎixiān(n.) seafood

      • 样本：yàngběn(n.) sample

      • 远超： yuǎn chāo

        (literally, 远 means far, 超 means exceed, get past, pass, to go beyond, so the whole phrase means far beyond, but learning language word by word is a bit misleading, same when I learn Spanish or English, but at the beginning, I will explain the phrases in this way so you can get basic concept but if I can have another topic to talk about the ancient Chinese language which is related to the modern one, I will explain more)

      • 此外：cǐwài (adv.) besides, in addition

(我表弟家的猫(很明显他俩都喜欢FF系列电影。。。)，他说“这照片是武松打虎”=.=武松什么时候变成这样？还有这“虎”也太可爱了吧。。。)

（This is my cousin’s cat(obviously the cat and he both like FF), he said, "This picture is Wu Song fighting a tiger"=.=When did Wu Song become like this? And this "tiger" is too cute. . .）

(for whom doesn’t know the stories and background about Wu song, check this out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Song)

I think I’m not that interested in translating news actually but I think it helps a bit for people who like to read short news. I will write something else by myself and translate them into English later. Mr. T just asked me “why don’t you translate them into Spanish?” (=M=, you think I am an AI that I can write many things in a day right…)

Welcome to Learning Chinese in a weird way ~

If you are reading this, that means you are interested in learning Chinese in an untraditional way….before I start, I must tell you why I will have a blog like this…

(I will explain in my native language first, the English translation will be at the end)

我是一个在学习语言上有些拖拉的人，前些天我有个西班牙朋友跟我说，他本来在看的一个学习中文的网站停止更新了，因为博主说工作太忙不再更新，朋友感叹少了一个学习中文的好平台。我联系到了这个博主，问他如果我如果无偿帮助他更新网站，这样他能不能把网站继续经营下去。但博主回复我，他还是太忙了，就算有人帮忙他也不会继续做这个网站。我觉得很可惜啊。后来我朋友建议，要不，你自己做一个网站帮助其他人学习中文？这个主意可以尝试，虽然我不是一个非常喜欢教学的人，也不是一个擅长教学的人…试试看总比什么都不做要好。暂定我这个网站每周更新2-3次，要是读者数量有上升我再考虑更新得频繁一点。

I am a person who is a little procrastinated in language learning. A few days ago a Spanish friend who told me that a website he was looking at for learning Chinese stopped updating because the blogger said that he’s too busy at work, my friend sighed and said that there are not many good platforms for learning Chinese. I contacted the blogger and asked him if I help him update the website for free would he continue to operate the website. But the blogger replied to me that he was still too busy, even if someone helped him, but he said he would not continue to run the website anymore. I think it's a pity. Later, my friend suggested, how about you building a website to help others learn Chinese? This idea seems workable, although I am not a person who likes teaching very much, neither am I a person who is good at teaching... It is better to try than to do nothing. I plan to update my website 2-3 times a week. If the number of readers increases, I will consider updating it more frequently.

(The pin yin and English version were translated by some online translator and I modified the result of the translation which may make it more readable….Lazy huh…if I am going to make a Spanish version later(which I want to if I am not that lazy…), I will do the translation by myself because I need to practice my Spanish translation….)

Feel free to leave messages about learning languages and give me some comments so we can make the learning platform better.

One more thing….why the name is “Learning Chinese in a weird way” because I do NOT like traditional way of learning things, especially learning languages, it is boring for me…

(the cat and the picture belong to my friend…and it has nothing to do with learning, I just love cats, that’s it…)
