Writing
写作
1. Do you love writing?
1. 你喜欢写作吗?
Honestly speaking,writing is the very last thing I want to do! The only class I use to skip in my primary school was writing. And I can always successfully doze off when I am in writing lecture.
坦白地说,写作是我最不喜欢的事情。从小学开始,我唯一逃的课程就是写作。并且在写作课上我总是打瞌睡。
2. Which way do you prefer,writing in English or Chinese?
2. 你更喜欢用英文还是中文写作呢?
Well,I prefer to write in English. I think it is a good way to practice my writing. You know,I am going abroad pretty soon. So the more I practice writing in English, the better my writing skill will become. Maybe sometimes I have no idea how to express my idea in a real English way.
嗯,我更喜欢用英文写作。我认为用英文写作是一种锻炼我写作的好方法。您知道,我很快就要出国了。因此,英文写作练习得越多,英文写作技能也就会越好。或许,有时我不知道如何用英文把我真正的意思表达出来。
3. What's the difficulty about writing in Chinese?
3. 用中文写作的困难是什么呢?
Although I am a Chinese,there are still some difficulties when it comes to writing in Chinese. For example, how to express ideas in a beautiful way. Anyway,writing is much more difficult than speaking? So that is why there are only very,very few people who can really write well!
虽然我是中国人,但在中文写作中仍有一些困难。比如,如何用一种好的方式表达观点。不管怎样,写作也要比口语更难些。这就是为什么只有很少数的人能真正写出好文章。
4. What's difficult about writing in English?
4. 你用英文写作的困难是什么呢?
The biggest obstacle is the English speakers think pretty differently to Chinese, which means sometimes I have ideas what I am going to write,but I have no clue on how to get my idea expressed in English. You know, sometimes it looks cool and sounds all right,but it just isn' t English! Real English speakers don't say it! It is nothing more than a kind of Chinese English.
最大的障碍就是中国人的思维方式与英国人非常不同。也就是说,有时我想写些观点,但是不知道用英文应该如何表达。您知道,有时听起来很时尚还不错,但是,那并不是英文。真正的英国人并不那么说。那只不过是一种中国式英语。
