I have a humble dream that I will one day master all the 成语 listed in my chengyu dictionary. Can you believe that even such a small dictionary edited for “Chinese elementary school pupils (小学生)” contains incredibly 534 pieces of chengyu! Some large dictionaries have more than 10,000 pieces, which really makes me feel 稀里糊涂!

Hi auntie68, 作为一个日本人出生于资源缺乏的岛屿国家, 我很佩服像你上述的那样重视再生利用的人, 特别是爱翻新改制或者重新加工首饰的女人。 剩下的问题就是你怎样才能买到第一颗钻石。 看样子中国女人也比较喜欢加工自己的宝石。 我住的城市里到处都能看见所谓首饰加工店。 但是听说他们加工时往往骗取首饰的一部分, 每次去加工店的时候你宝贵的首饰可以减肥。 http://www.cq.xinhuanet.com/news/2007-08/02/content_10744786.htm

Hi bazza, You can say that again. 成语often has a profound meaning despite its compact appearance. 成语 is sometimes referred to as “四个字” in China, but Chinese “four-letter-words” seem to be dramatically different from those in English, to say the least.

大家一致认为中国是个假货天堂, 买东西需要注意不买到假冒商品, 讲价技巧以外应该有锐利的眼力。 我根本就不敢在中国买上像钻石 那么昂贵的东西但是仔细想一想, 反正我买不起宝石就不用操心了!

Don’t forget 美国加州牛肉面大王 (Californian Beef Noodle King USA) in China! You can find a chain of the famous fast food restaurants all over the country. It’s cheap, fast, and taste is acceptable. And on top of that, you can catch Californian flavor, at least from the brand name, here in China. http://image.baidu.com/i?tn=baiduimage&ct=201326592&cl=2&lm=-1&pv=&word=%BC%D3%D6%DD%C5%A3%C8%E2%C3%E6&z=0

我从小就喜爱的科幻作家阿瑟C.克拉克有 一篇很有趣的小说叫做2061年太空漫游。 在这篇小说里一位科学家发现木星的一颗 卫星上有直径为好几公里的钻石的可能性。 他为了证实自己的假设亲自探险这颗卫星。 意料之外的是南非洲钻石联盟决定向木星 派遣精英特工阻碍历史上最大钻石的调查, 是为了防止这个巨大钻石引起的市场暴跌。 但你用不着担心南非的阴谋当然化为泡影, 且克拉克暗示太阳系里还有许多庞大钻石。 我相信世界上大多数男人都喜欢这个情节, 但愿有一天克拉克创造力的产物会变现实。
