Do not..

Do not punish yourself because of others’ fault.

完美不美

完美不美。

in English, I can say:

perfection is ugly

or

perfection is not beautiful

err... lost in translation

maybe I should say

perfection itself is a kind of imperfection

so should I re-phrase the Chinese to "完美是一种缺陷" ?

差一点

汉语有时候很有意思,两个字,差一点,有时候意思很近。比如说“玉”和“王”——作为偏旁的时候,“王”就是“玉”,例如“珏”、“瑜”、“琉璃”等等,都是做玉解。又比如“大”和“太”,在“不大像”和“不太像”,“不大好”和“不太好”等等,意思相近;

但是有时候差一点,意思却又差别很大,比如说“太太”不等于“大大”,“林黛玉”也跟“林黛王”相差甚远。

Scrub Sponge

I use those “heavy duty” scrub sponge to clean dishes (I only use the dishwasher as dish storage/rack).

Their quality is so good and I opened two and keep using them for like 4 months; and they are still in pretty good shape and have not worn out much or become smaller or uglier, they do not even look dirty or old.

But I bought a whole package of 18 pieces from Costco, I think I am going to use them to clean all the dishes in my whole life, and when I die, I still have 2 unused pieces to give to my children and 3 to my grand children as part of my heritage.

What kind of business are those people who makes these scrub sponge doing? how do they make money?

intelligent computer

I found that Lenovo is better in building intelligent laptops than IBM does;
my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 can wake up by itself after I make it "standby" or "hibernate" without
any external stimulus (I do not touch the keyboard or the mouse or anything).
 
 
The other day, when I was in the mall, I found another money-saving (or even money-making) advantage
of getting married, which is you can save a lot if you massage each other with your spouse, you could save
or make 48 dollars in 45 minutes, which is more than what I am making now!

outdated spell checker

the spell checker of this browser underlined the word "Obama" with red dotted line,
suggesting it was a typo!

You are so wrong, Mr. Firefox!

eating while sleeping

I believe many people eat something while they are asleep although they do not even know,
because, otherwise, why do they brush their teech before going to bed and then
brush them again in the morning after wake up?
 

感动

 

有时候人感动了自己,却感动不了别人。

(想要写每日一句“警世恒言”实属不易啊,只好拿出旧的东西来先用着。)

cutting in line

Usually, when someone wants to cut in a line of people, he probably just sneaks in hoping
nobody notices or he might ask for the permission to do so with whatever possible reason he thinks will work.
 
While cutting in line of cars is quite different, the driver who is driving in another lane might just suddenly
speed up, and flashes his right or left turn light, and then without getting your approval he just cuts in.
 
it is just like when you are waitintg in a line, and some one just comes by and say "Hey, I am cutting in" and
then he just gets in front of you, and you have no easy way to prevent that from happening, and if you don't want to punch your
head into his butt, what you could do is just screaming and pointting the middle finger behind him.
 
Or you could get back in front of him as he just does.

每日一句

要每日都写一篇博客,也不是不可以,不过就是显得太无聊了点

我想,我要写每日一句“警世恒言”,倒是可以的

每日刷两次牙,再写一句博客吧

相似和区别

有些东西看起来很相似,比如饺子和馄饨,但是却又有大大的不同,煮饺子是要掌握时间和火候的,煮过了,就烂了,难吃;但是馄饨却要多煮,煮烂了,成了馄饨汤,比较好吃。
