存钱还是花钱 Saving Money or Spending Money

Saving Money or Spending Money The conception of money is different for the old and the young. The old generation believes that money should be saved in case of the urgent situation, while most young people think that money should be spent to realize its value. When I struggled with the different opinions, I saw the news report about a man got back his money that he saved in the early 1990s, which was about 1000 RMB. People made their comment that this amount of money meant so much at that time, which could buy a nice big house, while today it was just a big meal in the restaurant. This news inspired me to make a reasonable plan of money. The old way to treat money is not suitable because money will lose its value as time goes by. I choose to spend part of money while saving another part of it. Translate: 翻译:

双十一诞生史 从光棍节到购物狂欢 How Double Eleven Birth

How Double Eleven Birth For a country where many major holidays can be traced back thousands of years, Singles Day is a refreshingly recent invention. No one is quite sure exactly who first thought it up, but it definitely emerged as a student tradition in the mid-1990s. The most widely accepted story is that it emerged from the dorms of Nanjing University in 1993 when four single male students got together to discuss how to break free of the loneliness and monotony of single life. One suggested that because of the ones in the date, November 11 would be a good day on which to organize activities for singles. 中国的很多传统节日都可以追溯到上千年以前,但光混节却是个最近几年才兴起的节日。没人能确切说出是谁先想出了这个节日,但能够肯定的是它最早出现在上世纪九十年代中期,是大学生们的一项传统。大家公认的说法是,1993年在南京大学的宿舍里,有4个单身男生聚在一起讨论如何摆脱单身生活的孤独和乏味时,其中一个建议说11月11日恰好是四个数字1组成的,就像4个光棍,所以这天可能会是个为光棍们组织活动的好日子。 zhōng guó de hěn duō chuán tǒng jié rì dōu kě yǐ zhuī sù dào shàng qiān nián yǐ qián , dàn guāng hùn jié què shì gè zuì jìn jǐ nián cái xīng qǐ de jié rì 。 méi rén néng què qi

双十一光棍节:我们用购物治疗孤独Double eleven shopping Carnival

Double eleven shopping Carnival In the United States, the lonely have Reddit and cats. In China, they have Singles' Day, which falls on Nov. 11 -- 11.11, the four ones symbolizing "bare branches," Chinese slang for bachelors. Thought to have originated about 20 years ago as a joke on college campuses, Singles' Day was once an occasion for confessing one's feelings to that special someone. But since 2010, online retailers have transformed the holiday, also known as "Double 11," into an epic online shopping extravaganza akin to America's Cyber Monday. 在美国,孤单的人有红迪网和猫。在中国,孤单的人有光棍节。光棍节在每年11月11日,即11.11象征着“光棍”,汉语中给单身人士的诨名。光棍节大约20年前兴起自中国大学校园,学生们借这个日子打趣,在这一天向自己心仪的对象表白。但是2010年之后,又称“双11”的光棍节,被网络零售商转变成了和美国的“网购礼拜一”相似的网购狂欢庆典。 zài měi guó , gū dān de rén yǒu hóng dí wǎng hé māo 。 zài zhōng guó , gū dān de rén yǒu guāng gùn jié 。 guāng gùn jié zài měi nián 11 yuè 11 rì , jí 11.11 xiàng zhēng zhe “ guāng gùn ”, hàn yǔ zhōng gěi dān shēn rén shì de hǔn míng 。

笼子里的猫 A Cat in the Cage

A Cat in the Cage Last night, when I walked in the street, I found a cat in the cage. It was calling, which seemed it wanted to be free. Watching the cat’s situation, I feel sorry for it, because I don’t have rights to set it free. The animal should be back to nature and stay in their own place, or at least, they should not be locked.

神奇女侠的出现 The Coming of Wonder Woman

The Coming of Wonder Woman In Hollywood, the films about superheroes are very popular, such as Superman, Batman and so on. We can find that in these great characters, there is one special female image that is Wonder Woman. She was brought to the screen recently and her story indicated why she was coming.

Her appearance helped to stop the disaster and during that time, the woman started to gain the right to vote. The coming of Wonder Woman indicates the rising power of the female.

网络信息的真实性 The Reliability of Network Information

The Reliability of Network Information Before the popularity of network communicative tools, such as Weibo and WeChat, people get used to knowing a person by face and face talk, but now the situation has changed, the young generation tends to know a person by network social communicative tools. If they are interested in making friends, then they will be friends online first and then keep trace with the former information on the record. It seems that we can learn a person so fast and convenient. There is a short video about a girl dated a guy, but the guy did not have an account on the Internet, then the girl felt not comfortable and started to question if the guy was a criminal. The video satirizes people to rely on the Internet too much. They rather communicate with a person by the Internet instead of face to face talk, while the latter is much trustworthy. Translate: 翻译:
