Recently just borrowed a book from the library...
Its tittle jus intriged me...
"A concise CHINESE-ENGLISH DICTIONARY for Lovers"
SOund cool...rite?
This is a story about this 23 years old gurl who was sent to London by her parent to learn the English language. While she is struggling with her adverbs, tenses and verbs, she starts to fall for a man who is much older to her by 20 years (tat's way too old ...man..)
So she starts her journey of love, life and heartbreaks in the name of language..
I love this paragraph
'Love', this English word: like other English words i has tense.
'Loved' or 'will love' or have 'have loved'. All these specific tenses
mean Love is time-limited thing. Not infinite. it only exist in particular
period of time.
In chinese, Love is '爱’(ai). It has no tense. No past and future.Love in chinese means a being, a situation, a circumstance. Love is
existence, holding past and future.
If our love existed in chinese tense, then it will last
forever.
It'll be infinite...
