每天睁开眼，可能又有一个听不懂的词汇出现，再不学习，就又OUT到十万八千里去了。
看着上面所列词汇，突然想中式英语是什么，应该是特指把词硬拼成句的现象吧，这点也许所有国家的人学外语所不能避免的。老外初讲中文，感觉也是怪怪的。
说这词汇是中式英语感觉更象为国情英语，其特征主要一，文化背景，二，国情前景。
吴牛喘月，不知道英语会怎么翻译。这类是积累下来的。
代购，新生代的。现在大家都知道是什么意思，国内报刊直译为DAIGOU，释意为buy on behalf of。
上课与老师闲聊时，感觉自己还是喜欢说些自己熟悉的事情，无非就是国情了，看来还是得花些时间在国内英语读物上。
除了一些特定用语，尤其礼节礼貌上的用语必须注意，其它的，能交流就行了。
（是日学英语的一大体会）

about one month ago, in the morning, I took a walk outside.

In autumn, the hills are decorated with red and yellow leaves.

I enjoyed the scenery.

And then I stumbled and lost my balance. I fell forward, a bad fell.  

Now I am totally recovered.

But I want to say, in the autumn the leaves and seeds from the trees fell down, they covered the pavement and lawn.

When you walk on, you must be careful.

They may be slippery.

大约一个月前的某日清晨，我出去散步。

山区的秋天，红叶黄叶点缀着人间。

我欣赏着美景。

然后绊了一下，失去了平衡，踉跄的向前倒去，摔的挺惨的。

现在已经完全康复了。

但是我想说，在秋天，树叶和种子飘落下来，覆盖在人行道和草坪上。

当你走在上面的时候，你要小心。

小心脚下的路滑！

哦。类似的故事听多，还真把它作虚构了，不知道还真有其事。
在一个饮酒食饭的特定环境下，说错了一个字，就能成了换椅子游戏了，够呛。
在与老外的交流中，发现他们的纠错能力还是很强的。不过，仍得小心，避免类似错误。

In the cloudy day, if I take the umbrella with me out, it won't rain that day, but if I don't take the umbrella with me, it must rain that day. It's so weird.

阴天时，如果我把伞带出去，那一天就不会下雨了，但是如果我不带伞，那天一定会下雨。真邪门。

I'm not bright enough to master English until now, especially when getting old ，
So I have to put more effort in order to lead a better life in this country.
My way of expression is very Chinglish, ie. still thinking in Chinese ways.
Regarding learning English, I am like a snail or turtle. But I'd love to keep going though I am slow.

Wow,you know me well i am quite an persistent person.
How  coincident with the words of Confucius:择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之。
其善者 good at english,其不善者，smash window glass.
So I just learn english from you and would not smash window glass.

Turtle
i don't think turtle is a slow creature.you can see how fast it can swim in the sea and it also swim far.
And here you use a very good metaphor,i like it.
you are swimming in the sea of knowlege,far and fast.

Don't worry.

My daughter's classmate studied very hard,
But her test score was not satisfied.
why?
Because she thought,listened anything in chinese first, then tranlated them into English.ie, the content of lecture,the answers to questions.

But a day, suddenly her reaction became quickly than others.she thought ,listened in English directly.
She changed a swan from a ugly ducking.

Sorry,sir.
Maybe you are a swan now.

About one month ago, in the morning, I took a walk outside.

In autumn, the hills are decorated with red and yellow leaves.

I enjoyed the view.

And then, all of sudden I tripped over something and lost my balance. I fell forward - a bad fall.  

I broke my skin, my knees and palms was bleeding. My foot was swollen.

The trousers broke a big hole.

Now I am fully recovered.

But I want to say, in autumn the fallen leaves and seeds covered the pavement and lawn.

When you walk on it, mind your steps.


大约一个月前的某日清晨，我出去散步。

山区的秋天，红叶黄叶点缀着人间。

我欣赏着美景。

然后,突然间不知怎么绊了一下，就失去了平衡，踉跄的向前倒去，摔的挺惨的。

我的双膝和两个手掌都皮破血流，脚也肿了, 裤子破了一个大洞。

现在我已经完全康复了。

但是我想说，在秋天，树叶和种子飘落下来，覆盖在人行道和草坪上。

当你走在上面的时候，小心脚下。

In Chinese,we say 气得脸色铁青.

there is a similar expression in English.

For example:
His face was purple with rage.

直译：他气得脸色发紫。

I think you may use it when you want to say: 他气得脸色铁青。

I think you may use it when you want to say: 他气得脸像猪肝一样。

Interest is the best teacher.
I believed it before but not now any more.
I had many interests but it takes me nowhere.
I would rather you smashed my window glass than losing a teacher like you.
I have been criticized many a time“做事不能全凭兴趣”that's to say this kind of teacher is undependable.

You can't keep your life straight. But you can brave to face it. When you are suffering, keep smile with tears in your eyes.

你不能让生活一帆风顺，但是你可以勇敢的面对它，当你遭受磨难时，含着眼泪保持微笑。

it is said, an elderly senior engineer in my office room, who had a bad temper in the past.

when he found the young technologists made mistake in drawings, his face was purple with rage and angrily torn the drawings in half.

据说我办公室的一位老高工，过去脾气很坏。

当他发现年轻的技术人员，把图纸画错了时，气得脸像猪肝一样，愤怒的把图纸一撕两半。
