中文挑战

This was a hard one. I had to listen to this thing way too many times. It's got a nice tune after the rap part though. Here's my attempt:

1 狗屁事

2 美梦

3 失去方向

4 笨蛋

5 试图证明

6 天花板

7 逃避的借口

Bonus

The extra characters, when reassembled, form a colloquial expression (口语). What is this expression, and what does it mean?

I put the characters together but had to google to find the answer (I believe). Here's my guess at the bonus question:

"把知识还给老师"

I believe this means something like not actually learning something? Here's a quote that I found from google search that I thought gave a good description of the meaning:

"你们到大学去上课，像不像到了知识百货公司，花一个学期几万块的学费，好不

容易买了知识，结果考完试像结了帐一样，最后又把知识还给老师."

Also the "还" in the sentence is "huan2" as in "to return / to pay back"

@jkhsu: That's a great quote!

Basically it means forgetting what you were supposed to have learned. You can use it after doing poorly on a test.

Wow. Certainly tougher than I was expecting. Good challenge. Parts of lines 3 and 5 tripped me up. Ran out of time at lunch to figure them out. I think I would have had to use a dictionary to nail them down.

This one was really fun. I put it on my MP3 player and printed out the lyrics. I went back over the lyrics and then marked all the words that confused me. It came out to like about 25. Great exercise.

First line tripped me up, until I started eliminating characters from the pool. Heh, nice quote.

"Lan jiao la........"
