May 16, 2021 - Washington D.C. Taiwanese School Advanced Mandarin Conversation Class Note
- Teacher Wu said, "Steven (葛艾倫), Joseph (高 靖和), you both cut your hair short." 吳老師說: "Steven (葛艾倫), Joseph (高 靖和), 你們倆的頭髮都剪短了。" Wú lǎoshī shuō: "Steven (葛艾倫), Joseph (高 靖和), Nǐmen liǎ de tóufà dōu jiǎn duǎnle."
- Steven (葛艾倫), said, "My daughter's babysitter often said that "I was a handsome guy when I dressed up for work! Joseph (高 靖和) is handsome. He is a handsome guy." Steven (葛艾倫) 說: "我女兒的保姆常說：“當我打扮上班時，我是個帥哥！”Joseph (高 靖和)很帥。 他是一個帥哥。" Steven (葛艾倫) shuō: "Joseph (高 靖和), hěn shuài. Tā shì yīgè shuàigē. Wǒ nǚ'ér de bǎomǔ cháng shuō:“Dāng wǒ dǎbàn shàngbān shí, wǒ shìgè shuàigē!”"
- Raymond(書宗), said, "Is "handsome" pronounced as "iân-tâu" in Taiwanese? " Raymond(書宗) 說: "臺語 "帥" 的發音是“iân-tâu”嗎？" Raymond(書宗) shuō: "Tái yǔ "shuài" de fāyīn shì “iân-tâu” ma?"
- Teacher Wu said, "Yes. The following are the explanations for these three words ." 吳老師說: "是的。 以下是這三個詞和字的說明。" Wú lǎoshī shuō: "Shì de. Yǐxià shì duì zhè sān gè cí hé zi de shuōmíng."
很帥 - Hěn shuài - Very Handsome
帥哥 - Shuàigē - Handsome bro
統帥 - Tǒngshuài - Generalissimo
緣投 - iân tâu - It means “fate and mutual affection”. If a person is handsome, he must be loved. Handsome is the cause, "destiny" is the result, so "destiny (ien´-tau´)" is a handsome" meaning.
帥 - It appeared in the oracle bone inscriptions as “hands holding the ornament or pendent” which opened onto "handsome" as wearing the decorative items. The commonly used meaning of "handsome" is to lead, which is extended to “leader and commander.”
率 - Original meaning - bird-catching or fishing net, which can be extended to catch and lead to pull objects, then led by the same meaning and extended to refer to the role model and set an example. From the leader to the general, this meaning is often used as "handsome" in later colloquial language.
- Teacher Wu said, "let's share everyone's Homework - write 5 sentences about your "Mother" and make "speech practice" for your "Dear Mother." 吳老師說: "讓我們分享大家的作業: -為您的媽媽寫5句話，並為您的“親愛的媽媽" 做演講練習." Wú lǎoshī shuō: "Ràng wǒmen fēnxiǎng měi gèrén de zuòyè-wèi nín de “mǔqīn” xiě 5 jù huà, bìng wèi “qīn'ài de mǔqīn” zuò “Yǎnjiǎng liànxí”."

在“母親節”，我們所有人都可以擁抱。
We all had a “hug” during the “Mother’s Day.”
我媽媽愛花，
我們喜歡一起談論植物，
也喜歡互相比較我們各自種的植物，
我媽媽以前最喜歡的植物是一盆很大的白鶴芋，
養了將近二十六年，
但是在二零一七年哈維颶風時，
她的房子被水淹入受損，
那盆 "白鶴芋" 也就不見了，
去年她們搬到了新家，
所以在今年的母親節，
我們寄給她一盆新的 "白鶴芋,"
讓她可以重新開始。

My mother loves flowers, we like to talk about plants and compare our techniques. My mom’s favorite plant was a large "peace lily" that she had for almost 26 years. During Hurricane Harvey in 2017, her house was flooded and the peace lily was lost. Last year, they finally moved into a new home. So, we sent her a new "peace lily" for Mother's Day. Now she can start again.
- Raymond(書宗) said: "Sorry! I did not do my "homework" due to my daughter's fall from the "Monkey Bar" yesterday. We sent her to the emergency because she had vomiting and blurry vission. She is getting better now. But we need to take her to the pediatrician tomorrow."
- Raymond(書宗) 說:
- 對不起! 我由於女兒昨天從 “Monkey Bar” 摔倒而沒有做“家庭作業”。 我們把她送去了急診室，因為她嘔吐和視物模糊。 她現在好起來了。 但是明天我們需要帶她去小兒科醫生那裡。"
- Raymond(書宗) shuō:
- Duìbùqǐ! Yóuyú wǒ nǚ'ér zuótiān cóng “Monkey Bar” diào xiàlái, wǒ méiyǒu zuò “jiātíng zuòyè”. Wǒmen bǎ tā sòng qùle jízhěn shì, yīnwèi tā de shìxiàn móhú bù qīng. Tā xiànzài hǎo qǐláile. Dànshì míngtiān wǒmen xūyào dài tā qù xiǎo'érkē yīshēng nàlǐ."
- Teacher Wu said, "Hope your daughter get better soon. That brought back a bad recollection of my accident. When I was 6 years old, I fell off from the "2nd hi-bar. " My head was hit with a rock located at the foot of the right iron." 吳老師說: "希望你的女兒早日康復。 那使我回想起了我的事故。 當我6歲那年，我從第二 "Hi-Bar" 摔下來。 我的頭部被位於右鐵腳下的一個石頭擊中。." Wú lǎoshī shuō: "Xīwàng nǐ de nǚ'ér zǎorì kāngfù. Nà shǐ wǒ huíxiǎng qǐle wǒ de shìgù. Dāng wǒ 6 suì nà nián, wǒ cóng dì èr " Hi-Bar" shuāi xiàlái. Wǒ de tóu bù bèi wèiyú yòu tiě jiǎoxià de shí tóu jí zhòng."
