Posted on: Fruit Basket of Cause-Effect
September 27, 2009 at 12:52 PMThe link between fruit, result and if conjoction is more logical than we think.
Even in european laguages it exist an analogy between a good result and a fruit.
In english you can say:
"The meeting was fruitful".
So I think that 效果 [xiàoguǒ] can be translated in english as fruitful.
Also 结果 [jiēguǒ] can be translated as fruitful but in more neutral sense.
What do you think?

Posted on: Learning the Lei Feng Song
December 29, 2008 at 8:26 PMHello chinesepod,
I joined this site because I wanted to learn about chinese culture and language, not about the comunist propaganda.
I had enough comunist propaganda in my childhood so I don't what to pay for it in the adulthood.
to pearltowerpete:
Every group has it simbol: Americans have George Washington,french have Jeanne d'Arc, all are brave and altruistic, but we must see who is hidding behind these symbols.
Who is hidding behind Lei Feng?
