Your comments about Chinese nationals feeling it is necessary to keep the country together at all costs hit home with me, I don't often bridge political conversation with Chinese people unless they're my close friends. Although many of them aren't in favourable economic postions and feel in many ways they have been wronged by the current government all of them feel it is better to endure and strive to improve than complain. Canadians enjoy complaining about our government and openly insulting them online and in the streets, It's good to be reminded that that isn't possible for everyone.
Also, for the record. I've enjoyed all of your podcasts. But I must say 杜甫 has by far the best Chinese name I've ever heard. Du fu!! Whaa!!!
Great work and thanks again!

May 23, 2009 at 2:22 PMI only posted that comment because you mention 夜市（night market) and it's funny sounding sentence.
A good way to practice tones and similar sounding words.
Your translation seems to be great.

谢谢你的帮助！
我两年前刚开始学习汉语时，我只会说一些粤语的单词，当时我真的分不出粤语和普通话有什么区别，不是差不多吗？因此我到南京的时候我跟他们当地人讲粤语，Lei ho! Mo mon tai! 人家用很奇怪的表情盯着我--这么疯狂的小老外看。回头看我无奈感到很不好意思。可是这个经历除了搞笑以外也有好处，让我意识到了学习语言最有效的方式，不怕犯错误。目前我在徐州住，一边教外语一边学习汉语。
下次再聊！！

我同意你的意见，为了理想献身比为了娱乐值得一点。不过我仍然觉得太可惜。他很明显没有经验而是登山的新手。挑战自己是为了加强自己的精神，但我还认为他果然遇到了克服不了的障碍。
如果有机会跟他采访的话，你觉得他会不会表示一些歉意？
（Please help me fix my mistakes Shenyajin!!!)
谢谢。

May 26, 2009 at 3:05 AM我曾经听说过，成都的天气很郁闷，很难过。通常天空全是多云的，很少很少遇到晴朗的天气。据说你出门儿发现太阳出来了，你就不用上班，城市任何的商店都会关门，人家要出去好好享受天气。
