Really want to watch some China tv show ): I know a lot of people hate China's shows because of their accent but i swear, they have good dramas at times! Plus, i like to watch period dramas and China is good at period drama because they accurately phrase the dialogues to how Chinese used to speak like. Though sometimes they talk in poems and i cant understand a single word, i just like to listen how different Chinese speaks now and then.
English seriously cannot be compared to Mandarin. I may dislike Mandarin but it is such a beautiful language. 4 characters can tell a story and 4 characters can mean a lot of things whereas in English you have a long sentence just to convey one thought. And whenever i listen to Mandarin songs with English subtitles on Youtube, i cant help but to cringe. The translation is correct but the deeper meaning is lost. English can never capture the essence and beauty of Mandarin.
I wish i were good at Mandarin. Then i can write poems with profound meanings.
等夏天等秋天
等下個季節
要等到月亮變全
你才會回到我身邊
要不要再見面
沒辦法還是想念
突然想看你的臉
熟悉的感覺
不 牽手也可以漫步風霜雨雪
不 能相見也要朝思暮念
只想讓你知道
我真的很好
愛一生 戀一世
我也會等你到老
只想讓你知道
放不下也忘不掉
你的笑 你的好
是我溫暖的依靠
Ok la, the above is not a poem. Its a song from BBJX, hahaha. But Mandarin songs usually are a quite poetic anyway.
Since this post so wordy and i bet no one bothered to read, i shall post one old picture then.
mmmhhmm, pouty lips. Who can resist?
Safe in my cocoon, i observe the outside world.
Its ugly.
But what's ugly is not the world.
Its humans themselves.
