Actually, I don't care about her reason; I don't care about my feeling and her feeling. The only thing I care about is MONEY! I confess, I am unhappy now.

I went to Taipei International Flora Exposition with my younger sister. I want to describe it... it was very beautiful, amazingly beautiful! When I visited there, I was quiet, but I was very happy and exciting. Although the weather was so cold, I thought it was a very nice experience. In the exposition, I saw so many folwers and beautiful structures, they combine to a great view. When I looked at flowers at first, they looked like fake flowers because they were too colorful, but they were both real. It's really a good exposition. I can took beautiful photos in every small corners, so I can't stopped to take photos. Unfortunately, my camera's battery drained too fast. When I went to the flowers area, I can't use my camera anymore. It was so bad, and I forgot to bring my cell phone, so I can't take more photos. My sister was very funny. When I asked her to stand in somewhere to take a picture, she begain to feel uncomfortable. So when I came hame and checked photos, I found that all my sister's pictures have the same face look. Her photos are interesting. I laughed to her a lot because I'm an evil sister. I want to go there again because I want to look all places in this exposition.

Well, I think this event recalled me a memory which was about an article I wrote in the past on lang-8 which was talked about what different thinking from male and female. Now I think she just wanted me to comfort her.

When I look at them, I also felt heartache because I hope they could be happy. I suggested them to eat some sweets and go out to enjoy the sunshine. I like to go out and look at anything which can makes me feel happy such as birds or dogs. Keeping walking is a good way to release their bad emotion. The things I can do are keeping accompany with them, and talk to them softly. I want to help them calm down. I believe when one slow down and who will feel better and peaceful. In short, bad mood is painful, but it is common for humans.

Male (there are only three male classmates in my class, so this part is the small one.)
1.Sitting down to urinate like female. My male classmates thought it is cleaner.
2.Crying like a girl. (They used to hide their emotion, but sometimes they really want to cry.)

It was done; they were silence at that time. I think they are oppressed.

Female
1.Standing to urinate. (Male and female have the same opinion.)
2.Becoming a little fat. When we eat, we don’t want to care about the weight.
3.Sitting and standing like a man. My classmates hope they could not too close their legs.
4.Taking off our clothes such as T-shirt and necked like a man. In Taiwan, summer season is hard to stand, we want to do that like a man but we can’t. (For me, even I stay at home alone, I still can’t do that.)
5.Charring heavy stuff. (I totally agree with it because I’m less of strength.)
6.Wearing clothes without bra.
7.Having muscle.

It was a funny discussed topic. My classmates like my picture, but they said my wishes are too easy to do. Well, I think I used to oppress myself.

For example: a piece of Chinese poem is "花間一壺酒", If I translate it directly is "a bottle of wine among to folwers." But, the feeling is totally different. Because English is too logical, so the imagination of this sentence is disappear. In Chinese, we can imagine flowering shrubs, a tree with flowers, or the flowers around the bottle of wine. There are so many ways we can imagine. The phrase "a bottle of wine" is also failed. Because when I saw "壺" this character, it gave me a classical impression. I can imagine it is a bottle with beautiful patterns or an old ancient bottle. In short, there are too many elements we can imagine, but in English, it become a normal and boring sentence. My teacher said the better way is translated it into "folwers, wine." Then we can image the appearance.
The characters of Chinese usage is hard to translated. For example, a famous sentence "白日依山盡，黃河入海流", if I translated it literally; it will like "The sun set in the mountain, the yellow river into the sea." I believe foreigners will ask "Then?". Oh, it is a great poem, but in English; it is so boring. In this poem, I can imagine the sun and the twilight disappear slowly and finally disappear along mountains. The emotion of apart from the sun is congeal and congeal, then it is finally break out by "盡" this character. The feeling is as same as "黃河入海流". The river keep going, our emotions are heap, until the last word "流", all emotion are broken by this character.
It is hard to explain. I think this article is very confused. Because I don't know how to explain my feeling well. In summary, I believe Chinese poem is like a painting which is floating or dynamic. It can give me special and complicated feelings by laconic characters.
