用圣经学习中文

既然我已经可以不用字典就能认出一些汉字因此我决定要提升一下难度。

上次去香港的时候，我居住的饭店给了我免费取阅的新约。他们就放了它在我的房间里。它真不错，是中英文对照的。回来后，我试图读书中文部分，但读不懂，所以我也放弃了英文部分。那新约就在架子上蒙尘。

既然我已经可以不用字典就能认出一些汉字因此我决定要提升一下难度。我把新约翻到随机挑选的页，用手覆盖英文部分，读一段中文部分，试图找出那段的内容是什么。好吧说了一些谎，所谓《随机挑选》的页多半有很短的段。：P

我今天选择的段有一些汉字我可以认出：「。。。们对主说。。。加我们的。。。心。。。主说。。。你们。。。有。。。一。。。子大小的。。。心。。。就是对这。。。说。。。来。。。去。。。在。。。里。。。它也会听从你们。」我很快觉得这是《告诉山到海里去》那段，但我错了。这是《告诉桑树到海里去》那段。我早就知道！在这段里没有汉字《山》。-__-

从任何干地驱逐山是在马21·21，而桑树溺在海洋里是在路17·5—6。主喜欢把奇怪的事浸入咸的水中。

learning chinese through a christian bible

Now that I can recognize several Chinese characters without the help of a dictionary, I decide to up my game.

Last time I went to Hong Kong, my hotel provided a complimentary copy of New Testament. They placed it in my room. What's great about it was that it was in two language, English and Mandarin, side-by-side. After going home I tried to read the Mandarin part but wasn't able to, so I left the English part altogether. The book stayed on the book shelf, collecting dust.

Now that I can recognize several Chinese characters without the help of a dictionary, I decide to up my game. I open the New Testament on a random page, cover the English part, read one passage in Mandarin, trying to figure out what the passage's talking about. OK I cheat a bit, most of the time the 'random' page contains the shortest passage possible. :P

In the passage that I chose today I recognized the words 'Lord', 'toward this', 'it also will listen to you'. I immediately thought of 'telling the mountain to relocate to the sea' passage, which this passage was not. This one was 'telling the mulberry tree to relocate to the sea'. I knew it! The 'mountain' character wasn't found in that passage. -__-

The eviction of the mountain from any dry land was Matthew 21:21, while drowning this mulberry tree into the ocean was in Luke 17:5-6. The Lord sure loved having strange things submerged in salty water.
