1.   What is meant for you will not pass you by

2.    Wealth and fame lead to worry

3.    If it means to be yours, it will be yours after all

4.    Whereas you will not keep for it if it does not appear in your life

  • The first time I ate Sticky Rice Cake 我第一次吃年糕 - Wǒ dì yī cì chī niángāo

 There is one time during the New Year that my friend said: “Come, let’s all eat New Year’s Eve Dinner!”  在新年期間,有一次我的朋友說:吧,大家一起吃年夜飯” Zài xīnnián qíjiān, yǒu yīcì wǒ de péngyǒu shuō:“Lái ba, dàjiā yì qǐ chī Nián yè fàn!”

 Our colleague from Cambodia gave us a "Sticky Rice Cake." 我們來自柬埔寨的同事給了我們一個.Wǒmen láizì Jiǎnpǔzhài de tóngshì gěile wǒmen yīgè “Nián Gāo.

 New Year’s Eve dinner was delicious, but the dessert was not tasty.   The Sticky Rice Case tasted like “Caulking Rubber!”  年夜飯很美味,但是甜點卻不好吃。 填縫橡膠Nián yè fàn hěn měiwèi,  dànshì tiándiǎn què bù hào chī.  Nián Gāo xiàng “Tián fèng xiàngjiāo!”

 The second day, our friend’s co-worker asked: “Was Sticky Rice Cake tasty?”  第二天,我們朋友的同事問:好吃嗎?”Dì èr tiān, wǒmen péngyǒu de tóngshì wèn:“ Nián Gāo hào chī ma?”

 Then, the co-worker asked,” Oh! How long did you steam it?”  然後,同事問,哦! 你蒸多久呢?” Ránhòu, tóngshì wèn,“óh! Nǐ zhēng duōjiǔ ne?”

 Our friend said,” What? You must steam the Sticky Rice Cake?”   我們的朋友說:什麼? 您必須蒸嗎?” Wǒmen de péngyǒu shuō: “Shénme? Nín bìxū zhēng Nián Gāo ma?”

登鸛雀樓 - : 王之. By: Wang Zihuan

白日依山盡,黃河入海流。

欲窮千里目,更上一層樓。

Climbing White Stork Tower

by Tang dynasty poet 王之渙 (Wang Zhihuan)
The white sun sets behind the mountains, and the Yellow River flows into the sea.
To see a thousand mile view, go up another floor.
Simply put
The scenery below is beautiful, but I want to see more, so I have to climb up and see if I can see more and see farther.

 Dēng guàn què lóu - Wang Zihuan

bái rì yī shān jǐn, huánghé rù hǎiliú.

Yù qióng qiānlǐ mù, gèng shàng yīcéng lóu.
