Fig

This year, the fig tree in my garden bore an abundance of fruit. The other day, I saw two figs turning almost red and thought I would wait one more day before picking them, but the next morning I found that both had been eaten by birds. I had put a net over the tree, but it wasn’t enough. The shock was beyond words.

Raising Sows

When I was a child living in a small village, living conditions were very poor. People in the village relied on farming for a living and had little money.

My father worked for the local township government, which helped him learn some ways to earn money. Thus, my family raised sows as a way to earn money.

To get a sow pregnant, we needed to take it to a nearby town to breed with a boar and then bring it back home. Of course, we had to pay for the breeding.

When a sow was about to give birth, we needed to care for her very carefully. We had to determine when she would give birth and then stay with her throughout the entire birthing process.

I still remember one night when we hung a barn lantern in the sty while waiting for her to give birth. She didn’t give birth until late at night.

When she began giving birth, it happened quickly, but she needed to rest briefly between each piglet.

We couldn’t leave even after she finished giving birth because we still needed to care for the newborn piglets; otherwise, they might be accidentally crushed by their mother, as the sow was too exhausted to notice.

When the piglets reached a certain age, we had the male piglets castrated to help them grow faster and stronger. In the countryside, some people made a living by castrating male piglets.

The piglets were usually black. Before they were taken to market, they were healthy, strong, and their coats were shiny, making them look very beautiful.

Although my family raised several sows, it didn’t significantly improve our financial situation. From what I overheard in my parents’ conversations, we were still short of money.

Une conversation sur la démocratie

Nadya : (les yeux fixés sur l’holo-écran vacillant, soupire)
N'est-il pas naïf de croire qu'un accès numérique accru favorisera la démocratie ?
N’avons-nous pas appris le contraire ?

Bill : (se penchant en avant, pensif) D’une certaine façon, je suis d’accord.
L’optimiste en moi imagine un monde où les citoyens disposent réellement du savoir.
Mais une part plus sombre de moi sait que la réalité est autre.
Chaque outil qui nous libère nous enchaîne en même temps.
Chaque nouvelle plateforme peut se transformer en tour de guet.

Liao : (frappant nerveusement la table) Oui, c’est une arme à double tranchant.
Bien sûr, les réseaux rassemblent les gens.
Mais très vite, gouvernements et entreprises infiltrent ces rassemblements et conduisent les masses comme du bétail.
Aujourd’hui, il est bien trop facile pour gouvernements et entreprises de manipuler l’opinion.

Gus : (ricane sombrement) La démocratie n’est qu’un mythe, un conte pour enfants.
Ce qui compte, c’est l’argent, les balles et le contrôle de l’information.
Tout le reste n'est qu'un spectacle de marionnettes.

The methods by which Chinese characters were created (5 & 6)

As I mentioned before, the last two methods are used to expand the meanings of characters.

One is called loan characters 假借. For example, the character 自 originally meant "nose." Because people often pointed to their noses when referring to themselves, this character gradually came to mean "self."

The other is called mutually explanatory characters 转注. This concept is too difficult to explain in English. Unless you are determined to become a professor of Chinese philology, there's no need to dive into the details. It's perfectly fine to simply know the term.

Warum steht "Z" in der deutschen Tastatur auf "Y"?

Seitdem habe ich Deutsch angefangen zu lernen, weiß ich nicht, Warum steht "Z" in der deutschen Tastatur auf "Y" in der normalen Tastatur. Ich finde, dass mit der Aufstellung ich einfacher die Tastatur tippen kann, aber ich tippe sie oft falsch, weil ich(Japanerin) lerne sowohl Deutsch als auch Englisch! Übrigens verwechsel ich Englich mit Deutsch, seitdem ich Deutsch fleißig begonnen habe zu lernen. Zum Beispiel, "Ich" mit"I", "verstehen" mit "understand", oder "aber" mit "but"! Sprechen die Deutsche auf Englisch nicht falsch als Ich?

Высшее образование – необходимость или привилегия?

Если бы вы спросили людей во многих странах, думают ли они, что высшее образование важно для успеха, они сказали бы, что не согласны. Однако, в школу в Америке, дети научат, что им нужно учиться в университет - без диплома, они будут наверное бездомными и мало платить. По-моему, высшее образование привилегия, хотя в некоторых странах, это необходимость.

Например, в американском обществе, люди думают, что профессиональные работы для тех, кто не может учиться, в связи с тем что они не очень умны. Пока люди, которые работые в профессионых ролях обычно лучше платить чем другие, есть нет уважения для этих людям. Более того, в странах, где мало денег, высшее образование дать жители новую возможность. Я знаю это правда, так как мой отец был самым бедным в детстве. Он учился, начинал работать (в то же время) и послал деньги семье. Эти деньги - причино почему я думаю высшее образование необходимость. Без этого, он бы ещё был бороться.

Однако, нужно отметить, что это было очень трудно. высшее образование безумно дорогое. По это причине, несколько думают что высшее образование привилегия. Более того, поступить в университет в США (и потом получит диплом) сложно, особенно если ваши родители не учились в университете. Проблемы не только деньги, но только знания и жизнь. Иногда нужно говорить и понимать других языках или переехать на другие страны. Для некоторых, это не стоит того. В целом, можно сказать, что высшее образование оба необходимость и привилегия, не только одно. По причине чего разные перспективы по миру.

I am looking at…

I am looking at the laptop's screen. It reminds me that I use too much computer for my eyes and my social life, but how could I stop? The Internet is always full of information that I need, moreover, my dream's job is litterally Software engineer, of course, I'll spend much of my time to coding and reading e-textbook. Perhap I should buy the physicial textbook if the pricetag was my monthly allowance.
I am looking at the cripsy fish. that food makes me happy. Not only it's delicious with its Thai seasoning but it also tells me that I'm not alone that someone is still helping me and I should to talk to they more.
I am looking at my messy table. I should clean this table for my sake and my roommate's sake. I heard that everyone like cleaness because it is good for your health like making you less likely to develop allergies, no more cockroaches crawling, no more pest etc. and my mental health because cleaness will make this room like my home.

Martedì 9 settembre

Ho iniziato la giornata alla grande, svegliandomi alle cinque e mezza. Ho approfittato del tempo extra per lavarmi i capelli.

È difficile occuparmi di così tante cose, però ci riesco. Benché abbia dovuto rinunciare a certe cose, ce la faccio comunque.

Spero di avere una giornata tranquilla perché me lo merito. Al lavoro ci hanno detto che avremo turni diversi in futuro e spero di lavorare di mattina.

9/8 (月) NCTからのへチャンのフルアルバムが出ちゃったについて

今日はやっとへチャンのアルバムが出ちゃった。周りのみんながすごく楽しみにしてて出たら嬉しかったよ。MV (タイトルのため) はカッコいいけど、評価にちょっと地味だった。ダメじゃないけど、かなりクリエイティブすぎる。古い絵を使うことがすごく好きなんで、コレオグラフィーは難しそうだ。曲は本当にいいだね。へチャンの好きな音楽をガチでみんなに示した。ただのアイドルより珍しいアーティストだなと思う。アルバムのジャンルは90's R&Bがあるだけではなく、Neo SoulとかContemporaryとか。本当にMicheal JacksonとJustin Timberlakeからのそういう音楽がすごく好きそうだよ。とにかく、CRZY/ADRENALINE/Love Beyond/WYN?って曲がめっちゃ好きだ。CRZYやばい (笑)。

The book which i read this summer

My italian teacher gave us to read 3 book for summer holidays, in particular i liked one of them. The title is the norman wife and it's a historic book. It talks about a story of the queen Costanza D'altavilla. Before she was a nun but his father forced her to marry Enrico Di svevia. Costanza hated him because he was a crude man and also he hated her because she was older then Enrico and also she couldn't have children. Costanza wanted with all her heart a child and at the end of the book was born Federico their son. Costanza was very brave ,all the court hated her and her baby because she was unconventional woman . When the baby was born Enrico died and after 3 years also Costanza died but the child grew up with the populance.

セキュリティの動画

週末が終わって、私は仕事に戻ります。今日は集中できませんでした。軽いことだけしました。例えばセキュリティの練習をしました。それはほとんど動画を見るのです。ITのセキュリティの練習の動画はちょっと変です。社員が留意しないおそれがあります。そのため、会社が面白い動画を作ってみます。しかし、トピックはだいたい面白くないので面白い動画を作るのは難しいです。ちょっと飛行機の安全の動画みたいです。

Where to Read, That Is The Question 本をどこで読むのか問題

As a bookworm, I'm dissatisfied that I don't have a chair suitable for reading. I love being able to read in a relaxed posture, with my neck and arms comfortable. A dining chair or a desk chair can do the job, but they are far from perfect. Reading in bed is cozy, but it often leaves me with a stiff neck or makes me sleepy.

Ideally, a sofa would solve the problem. However, I haven't seriously considered buying one because it could be expensive and it might get in the way when I vacuum.

For now, my favorite solution is reading in the bathtub while using the lid as a makeshift desk. Surprisingly, I can concentrate really well for short periods, though my books do end up a little wrinkled.

Mein Tag

Heute bin ich um 11 Uhr aufgestanden (genau sehr spät). Ich weiß nicht warum, aber ich war erschöpft. Ich dachte zunächst, dass ich nur müde war, wegen der gestrigen Aktivität (Grillen), aber spät in der Nacht habe ich unter starke Halschmerzen gelitten. Jetzt weiß nicht, ob ich eine Erkaltung habe oder... Nun, ich habe gegen 11 Uhr mit meinem Freund frühstücken (er hatte alles schon fertig) und dann haben wir auf dem Sofa gessesen, um Kaffee gemeinsam zu trinken, während wir Anime angeschaut haben. Mein Freund musste heute um 14 Uhr arbeiten, sodass er gegen 13 Uhr angefangen hat, um er sich für die Arbeit vorzubereiten, während ich ihm das Essen in einer Tupperware servierte. Als er die Wohnung verließt, habe ich die Wohnung aufgeräumt und habe mich geduscht. Um 16 Uhr habe ich mit dem Lernen angefangen. Jetzt mache ich nur ein C1-Kurs, sondern auch vorbereite ich mich für die Fachspracheprüfung, die ich am Ende Oktober abgelegt wird.
