Make a point, too.

jabber(jabber)

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛happened to read one of your postings at rolia.com. I am just wondering whether I should advise you not to mix so many English words in your Chinese postings.

According to my experiences, it is absolutely not a good idea for a writer to mix two different languages. Doing so will cause very negative effects among your readers. I do believe some other people have ever criticised or sarcadinized your manner of writing. If you continue to mix Chinese wih English, you may bring yourself some inconvenince in the future. As you visit your family in China, for example, you may speak broken Chinese spotted with English words and your friends may feel uneasy or offended.

It seems that your husband is a native English speaker. Why not to learn some descent English writing from him? I suggest you trying to write in pure English, since you know so many English idioms that most Chinese immigrants cannot handle. I myself write in English because I am extremely slow in typing Chinese charaters. I hope my criticism won't offend you too much.

寂静的平安夜，原来最适合触摸心灵最角落的地方。伤感过后，还是要默默的面对明天的生活。 -pingle(pingle); 2001-12-24 (#311387@0)

你的文笔不错呀，多交几个铁哥们或者朋友，生活就不寂寞了。 -pyramid(金字塔); 2001-12-24 {38} (#311391@0)

寂寞也不错，生活中也要花一些时间独处。

前几天聚会时，我看到你了，比我想象中的文气多了 -oto(ooo); 2001-12-24 (#311394@0)

眼镜DD? @_@ -pingle(pingle); 2001-12-24 (#311398@0)

You got two computer connect to the web at same time? -pyramid(金字塔); 2001-12-25 (#311409@0)

没有啦，我在家里拨号上网，他在公司……:P -pingle(pingle); 2001-12-25 (#311425@0)

嘿嘿，这是我第n次听人这么评价金字塔，看来要么他确实很文气，要么就是大家原来都认为他是一个虬髯客。:P -bingle(bingle); 2001-12-24 (#311399@0)

我早就说，想象是靠不住的，真人才是可靠的。 -pyramid(金字塔); 2001-12-25 (#311407@0)
金字塔，塔在汉语里多指一些来自西域的建筑。有佛塔，降妖塔。所以让人想到虬髯客，或天尊者，是很自然的 -oto(ooo); 2001-12-25 (#311408@0)

我第一次用这个名字的时候，没想到这些，当时只是对埃及的历史着迷。 -pyramid(金字塔); 2001-12-25 (#311417@0)

你看过《我钻进了金字塔》吗？唐师曾写的。 -angeljingjing(早晨的天使); 2001-12-25 (#311722@0)

No, where can I find it? -pyramid(金字塔); 2001-12-25 (#311836@0)

国内有，这里没看到。 -beibei(beibei); 2001-12-25 (#312081@0)
是，从网上我也没找到，国内有。写的很有文采，要是在国内，我就能借你看了。：（ -angeljingjing(早晨的天使); 2001-12-25 (#312277@0)

我一直对Mummy很着迷，也一直想哪天能去埃及，就是怕热。:( -beibei(beibei); 2001-12-25 (#312080@0)

You can go there now, :D -pyramid(金字塔); 2001-12-25 (#312126@0)

如果一直感觉寂寞的确很可怕.(也许同样的环境不同人的感受不同,你觉得寂寞,可有人感觉是平静和安宁) -judy3721(睡懒觉真幸福); 2001-12-25 {315} (#311556@0)

"我们之间的话越来越少""忘却了我那原先卡啦ok的嗓子，我那在球场的英姿，妻也失去了为我加油呐喊的机会。偶然发现我的原先健壮匀称的体形在寂寞宁静中具有加拿大样式了。""让我失去了许多与朋友交往的能力""我们还是在那标签面前退却了".唉~~~~在我看来真的很糟糕,为什么不回去?难道真是条不归路? 为什么要在下一代上才能重生?

寂寞平安夜并不重要，重要的是平安寂寞夜！－－好人一生平安，生活本来就是这样，如果梦想轰轰烈烈的生活，就不应当移民，移民的目的就是平安。 -xxjjs(东方射日); 2001-12-25 (#311708@0)

寂寞也是一种美丽.独自享受,承受.人生总是云遮雾障,充满了一个又一个省略号.但只要有一段真情,值得我们去期盼,去守望,去等候... 寂寞也是美丽的. -rain_h(rain); 2001-12-25 (#311773@0)

我渴望寂寞又害怕寂寞。。。 -icegirl(ice); 2001-12-25 (#312015@0)

既然觉得过得辛苦，为什么不试着换一种方式生活？哪怕只是少少改变一点点，可能都会不一样。有时生活的细节比房子，车子，老子，孩子，票子都重要。 -fionah(Fiona); 2001-12-25 {144} (#312038@0)

你有没有想过当你这样等“房子，车子，老子，孩子，票子”都如愿以偿的时候，你失去了多少生活乐趣？

不知怎么安慰你，因为我难以想象你这样的生活。

It's up to you! U could be alone, but don't have to be lonely! -babyface(Tracy); 2001-12-25 (#312049@0)

你的生命真的会在下一代得到重生吗 -usernew1(tt); 2001-12-25 {198} (#312101@0)

想想我们大家在国内几乎都有着优裕的生活，至少要比现在强的多，为什麽要来这里，自己都不知道为什麽。我千百遍的问过我自己，自己到底在追求什麽

本来就容易伤感，看了你这篇文章，联想到自己，就更感伤不已了

重要的是你曾经豪情壮志 -td1(td1); 2001-12-25 {218} (#312140@0)

我为我们移民这里而自豪，放弃辉煌和成功，追求新的未来。
来加后，有人对我说，如你依然在中国，一定在长膘，多了
肉而已。洒脱一点，五子登科虽然重要，何妨从长计宜，分
一些BUDGET出来，周游加美，畅游加勒比海。生活一样多彩。

一切都会好的 -patpat(乃胡侃而已); 2001-12-25 (#312161@0)

一个人的时候寂寞不算寂寞，很多人在一起仍觉得寂寞那才是真寂寞。 -eleanor(不想浮躁); 2001-12-25 {70} (#312164@0)

有没有听过陈慧娴的‘我寂寞’：一起高歌吃喝玩乐，一把声音说我寂寞......

几句不中听的话 -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2001-12-25 {1085} (#312185@0)

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛很想说几句不中听的话, 无冒犯之意, 只想MAKE A POINT.

IS IT AN ANOUNCEMENT OF STUPIDITY OR THE END OF STUPIDITY?

为什么用STUPIDITY这个词? 因为:

1. 生活的意义和移民的初衷, 我想是为了过更好的日子. 无论你的生活目的是什么, 快乐总应该是其中一个重要目的和目标. 但是显而易见, 你似乎忘了生活的目的...(省钱的目的也是为了更快乐地生活, 而不是为了节省而节省)

2. 为什么这么早就放弃了自己的生活? 经常听说, 咳, 我们这辈子就这样了, 看下一代了, 问题是你这样的生活态度很有可能传给下一代, 在他们30岁左右, 也会发出类似的感慨, 结果, 都没有HAVE FUN...

3. 钱不总是问题的根本. 看来你们家是双收入, 和其他人比, 没有HAVE FUN不应该是没有钱...

4. 每个人创造自己的REALITY, 不是生活BORING, 而是你把生活设计成BORING的模式了.

5. 房子不是生活的一切. 我想很多人把收入的一大部分用来供房子了, 这很正常, 但是如果比例过大, 也是个问题. 因为把生活的权重过多地放在一项, 而放弃了其他了, 如吃, 行, 娱乐...

......

如果你意识到这些问题来自于你们对生活的安排, 我想及时调整, 是THE END OF STUPIDITY...

请原谅我用了STUPIDITY这个词, JUST WANT TO MAKE A POINT...

希望你HAVE FUN...不好意思, 多有得罪...见谅更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

I got your point -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2001-12-25 {976} (#312476@0)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's much appreciated.

The main reason that I don't write completely in English is because I don't want my "bad" sentence syntax to reinforce other people's habits. It is very important for people who are studying English to get it right.

Another reason is that I write quite spontaneously and quickly. I found both languages have their own beauty and power. I believe language is a means instead of an end.

Rolians are a unique group of people who are using both languages in their daily life. That is another reason I don't write in either language completely. I would probably handle things differently with another audience.

Sorry for any inconveniece my postings might bring to people. I will spend more effort on improving both my English and Chinese writing. But after all...the purpose is inspiration not a quest for literary greatness( in either language).

Thanks for your kind advice. Have a happy holiday!

人的意义在于折腾. 趁年轻的时候多折腾一下, 没坏处. 只要在自己的承受能力范围之内. -smilingears(微笑的耳朵); 2001-12-25 (#312227@0)

看来OTO兄是个不甘寂寞的人，想折腾折腾，但是领导不让。:D -pyramid(金字塔); 2001-12-25 (#312250@0)

心情好了许多,不能让寂寞的日子占据太多时间.做些食品,例如饺子,会好些的. -rain_h(rain); 2001-12-25 (#312253@0)

恩，我想那并不是因为寂寞吧，是你的心在很多不如意面前变老了，很抱歉我这样说，但是我认为寂寞是美丽的，只有在不经意时才能体会到。 -vivianwang(纤云_不开心：-（); 2001-12-25 (#312487@0)

旧奶酪吃完了，该赶快去找新的了。你看过一本叫"Who moved my cheese?"的小书吗？一定要找来看看。 -winterblue(winterblue); 2001-12-26 (#312986@0)
