Writing
寫作
1. Do you love writing?
1. 你喜歡寫作嗎?
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.
坦白地說,寫作是我最不喜歡的事情。從小學(xué)開始,我唯一逃的課程就是寫作。并且在寫作課上我總是打瞌睡。
2. Which way do you prefer,writing in English or Chinese?
2. 你更喜歡用英文還是中文寫作呢?
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,我更喜歡用英文寫作。我認為用英文寫作是一種鍛煉我寫作的好方法。您知道,我很快就要出國了。因此,英文寫作練習(xí)得越多,英文寫作技能也就會越好。或許,有時我不知道如何用英文把我真正的意思表達出來。
3. What's the difficulty about writing in Chinese?
3. 用中文寫作的困難是什么呢?
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!
雖然我是中國人,但在中文寫作中仍有一些困難。比如,如何用一種好的方式表達觀點。不管怎樣,寫作也要比口語更難些。這就是為什么只有很少數(shù)的人能真正寫出好文章。
4. What's difficult about writing in English?
4. 你用英文寫作的困難是什么呢?
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.
最大的障礙就是中國人的思維方式與英國人非常不同。也就是說,有時我想寫些觀點,但是不知道用英文應(yīng)該如何表達。您知道,有時聽起來很時尚還不錯,但是,那并不是英文。真正的英國人并不那么說。那只不過是一種中國式英語。
