I’m learning
Chinese! I’ve been watching A Bug’s Life
in Chinese for the last several weeks.
Mama let me watch it in English once and (somewhat to Mama’s chagrin), I
was thrilled. (Mama was hoping that I’d
just spontaneously start understanding Chinese and never need to watch it in
English!). J
I did impress her enormously though when I told her that 快一点 (kuai4 yi1 dian3) means “Let’s go.” I had heard that expression over and over in
the same spot in the movie. When I
watched it in English, they said “Let’s go” at that precise moment. Mama tells me that 快一点 is actually translates into English as “hurry up” but I told
her, “NO! That’s not what the movie
says!”
Here we are
in the evening tonight, hanging out in the inflatable pool (no water, just
kids!).
