25、DA product instruction“Long time no see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friends e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.Obviously, it is a word-by-word translation of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar and str
26、ucture! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research on G. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.”. Though it is sort of informal, it is part
27、of the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chans movies. In the 1930s, Hollywoo
28、d movie-makers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective(侦探) named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens.

30、me examples from other countries, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and dj vu from French etc. There is a long list!

Calligraphers would practice for years to learn to write perfectly, but with style._17_ And each stroke(笔画) in a character had to be written in a certain order._18_
36、Poetry is held in high regard in Chinese literature and can be dated back to as early as the 1st millennium(千年) BCThe height of Chinese poetry is said to be during the Tang dynasty, when scholars even had to study poems to pass the exam to be a civil servant and work for the government!
