成长析字二十讲 (8)
wei为何ri日ben本ren人luo落hou後zhong中国?
Because by sound China is close to 成, Japan is close to 败 :)
Deng are more safer than Mao. Shu Yu is safer than Lin Biao....
Qin, Han,dynasties are better than others. The names count.
So is 常青 against lao. Yes is better than no. My name belongs to this side. :)
============
The New Chinese-English dictionary was an authority in this kind of tool books, which contributed great in history, but it has serious shortcomings, some contents are perfunctory, lacking of proper standard of word selection, moreover, like Mao criticized, the editors separated with Chinese, fortunately, Mao is not good in English :)).
Say the word adult has a ready definition-- 大人, but the editor has such a foresight that I would be toady to our banzhu, they marked off this one incorrectly. And 大人 is easy to remember, see the connection?
Not only adult means 大人, but also the word world also hints 大, isn't it? also land and ground, all the same.
