<![CDATA[Comments on: Billiards]]> pijiu. You will need some basic billiard lingo in Mandarin Chinese to hang with the boys, however. Well, that and a solid bank shot.

I don't know how I got here, and it doesn't appear in the index for Upper Intermediate?

But I am here?

我也高兴受到双重中高级课程

wŏ yĕ gāoxìng shoùdào shuāngchóng zhōnggāojí kèchéng。

 

This lesson is particularly well done; lots of expression in the actors' voices which helps a bunch with comprehension.

(How in the world would you say great work on this lesson? Google translates great work as 伟大的 工作、 which I think is not quite what I wanted to convey...)

这课做得非常好。(zhè kè zuò de fēicháng hǎo)

 

the 伟大 （wěidà） is like grand/mighty/great, and is a bit out of place in this context

 

glad you like the lesson.  We really wanted you to picture yourself in a pool hall.  David Xu did an excellent job directing the voice actors and mixing the lesson。

If you liked that one...wait until you see “one-on-one” coming soon

edit: it'd appear that upon posting this message, the character which previously showed up just fine in the text box now has been conviently translated into jiberish. Wonderful :0)

The beautiful song you can hear in the dialogue is “小城故事” (Stories in a small town) sung by 邓丽君 (Teresa Tseng). This is the first Chinese song I “mastered” for Karaoke after I came to China.

 

小城故事多　充满喜和乐
若是你到小城来　收获特别多

看似一幅画　听像一首歌
人生境界真善美　这里已包括

谈的谈　说的说　小城故事真不错
请你的朋友一起来　小城来做客

 

There are many stories in a small town
Full of joy and happiness……….
Life is truly beautiful
Everything is already here…………….

BTW, The CPOD family photo on the new home page is cute.

When I copy-paste dialogs from the dialog tab, the link to the sound shows up in the paste  太麻烦了！

]]> <![CDATA[By: jennyzhu]]> I think billiards is popular as a sport to participate in, while snooker is more popular as a spectator sport. This is helped by China's 20 year-old 'prodigy' Ding Junhui who stopped going to school at 12 to fully commit to a professional career.
