Dragon Boat Festival 端午節
Sunday, June 08, 2008
In this mandarin-speaking land, English language usage is very rare. Sometimes we might observed some obvious mistakes in the English translations.
In order to improve the English proficiency, someone suggested to start a discussion in English once a while.
This time we decided to start by talking on any movie we watched recently, emphasising on the reason why you like the movie,...whether you like the actors, story plots, take home meaningful messages, and etc.
在這個華人居多的土地, 英語的應用少之又少. 有時候到處還會發現一些明顯的英語翻譯錯誤. 為了要改進自己的英文程度, 有人提議要來個以英語為媒介語的討論會. 這次我們就以講述電影為開端, 以一個近期觀看的電影為主, 須說明喜歡該電影的理由, 無論是因為喜歡電影裡的演員, 故事情節, 還是影片所傳達意味深長的信息等等.
We planned to have it at Bruce's Kitchen, an Italian restaurant that serve vegetarian food.
However, only two of us turned up today, Aaron and i...
We took a bus from the Xindian City Hall MRT station. After getting down the bus, we walked up the hill heading to the restaurant.
Yes, on this hot weather... and later we realised that we can take another bus which can reach there straighaway.
我們就決定到一家素食西式義大利餐廳, 布佬廚房討論.
怎麼知道, 來的人就只有我跟裕峰...
我們從新店市公所捷運站做公車, 下車後就步行上山. 是的, 就在這個炎日的天氣...
後來我們才發現其實可以做另一輛公車直達...
This is Bruce's Kitchen.
The surrounding is very beautiful, nicely decorated.
這是布佬廚房. 周圍的環境清幽, 布置也很漂亮.
This is the washroom a.k.a. toilet. 這是廁所啦...
Hmmm..., i felt like back to home country, eating under a fan. Ha!
The food is nice with reasonable price.
嗯, 感覺好像回到祖國, 在風扇下用餐. 哈!
餐品味到不錯, 且價錢公道.
After that, we decided to go to Bitan for a walk, near to Xindian MRT station.
接著, 我們就到碧潭走走, 就在新店捷運站附近.
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival.
No wonder there were so crowded. Oh ya, the dragon boat competition was going on.
This is the first time i watch a dragon boat. Previously was just reading from books regarding this traditional activity.
Cooperation and teamwork are the essential spirit in this activity.
今天是端午節. 難怪有那麼多的人潮. 喔, 有龍舟賽耶. 這算是我第一次觀看龍舟賽吧, 之前都是在書本上得知有關這個文化的習俗. 划龍舟最重要的是合作與團隊精神.
Dragon Boat 龍舟.
Bitan Suspension Bridge. 碧潭吊橋.
Hey guys, you shouldn't stand on a suspension bridge, it cannot sustain weight as any concrit bridge do. Ciao...
喂, 你們不應該站靠在吊橋上啦, 吊橋不是其他的鋼筋橋, 它能夠成熟的重量有限. 走吧...
After seeing so many ice-cream along the way, finally we can taste it... Ha, so sarcastic!
一路上看到很多不同口味的冰淇淋, 最後我們還是嚐到了... 哈, 好風刺喔!
