Wang Xiao-Mao Reads a Newspaper

王小毛看報紙 Wang Xiao-Mao Reads a Newspaper

有一天,王小毛拿起一張中文報紙,One day, Wang Xiaomao picked up a Chinese newspaper,

他看見許多“一”字,He saw many “one” character,

又看見許多“二”字,He also saw many “two” characters,

還看見許多“三”字,Then he also saw many “three” characters,

忽然王小毛看見河川的「川」字,Suddenly Wang Xiao-Mao saw the word “Chuan” in the phrase Hechuan,
他想了半天說道:He thought for a long while and said:

奇怪,這個「三」字,怎麼站起來了? How strange! How come the character “three” stood up?

To Ascend the Quan-Que Tower

登鸛鵲樓   王之渙
To Ascend the Quan-Que Tower (The Tower of Crane and Sparrow)

白日依山盡,
The sun is disappearing behind the mountain,

黃河入海流,
The Yellow River is flowing towards the ocean,

欲窮千里目,
If one desires to view the thousand-mile vista,

更上一層樓。
One needs to climb another story up the pagoda.

The Moon is watching you

月亮在看你  The Moon is watching you

四周黑漆漆,沒人看見你,Surrounded by darkness,No one can see you。
不要偷偷偷做壞事,以為沒關係,Don’t secretly do bad things,Thinking it’s okay
風兒輕輕吹,時時提醒你,The wind gently blows,Constantly reminding you
還有月亮在看你,月亮在看你。A bright moon always watches you,The Moon is watching you Continue reading

It’s Okay


沒關係,沒關係,不要太沮喪,也不要哭泣 It’s Okay, it’s Okay, don’t be too upset, and please don’t cry

沒關係,沒關係,人難免犯錯,改過才要緊。It’s Okay, it doesn’t matter, people will make mistakes, and learning from the mistake is what matters.

我真心說:沒關係!丟掉讓胸口悶悶的大石頭 I truly say it’s okay! Throw away the large stones that weigh your chest down and prevent you from breathing.

我真心說:沒關係!把不愉快都忘記 I said okay! Forgot all the unpleasant things.

人都有不小心的時候 做錯事的感覺真不好受 People all have careless moments, the feeling of making a mistake is unpleasant.

換個角度去想,將心比心 Look at it from a different angle; treat others like you want to be treated

和人計較 自己怎麼會開心 If you worry about everything then you will not be happy.

所以我說,沒關係,沒關係, So I say, okay, okay,

真誠地擁抱 看著你的眼睛 Embrace other people and look people in the eye

沒關係,沒關係,學會原諒讓我們更靠近 It’s okay, it’s okay, learning to forgive will make you closer to your friends. Continue reading
