nnt Posted January 31, 2004 at 05:43 PM Report Posted January 31, 2004 at 05:43 PM If it's just as difficult as climbing to the sky 难如登天 nan2 ru2 deng1 tian1, then it is a piece of cake...
Guest Barbara Posted January 31, 2004 at 06:18 PM Report Posted January 31, 2004 at 06:18 PM no matter where you try to climb to, the mashes of the www won't let anyone get away 天网恢恢，疏而不漏
nnt Posted January 31, 2004 at 07:43 PM Report Posted January 31, 2004 at 07:43 PM ...But still the Monkey King has managed to escape, under the form of a fish: 漏网之鱼 :arrow: lou4 wang3 zhi1 yu2
Guest Barbara Posted February 1, 2004 at 05:13 AM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 05:13 AM right, but not every one can be the monkey king and for the rest of us peasants it would turn out to be rather, well, unpleasant 渔游釜中
nnt Posted February 1, 2004 at 06:12 AM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 06:12 AM You can still reverse the situation at middle game and win: 中盘取胜 zhong1 pan2 qu3 sheng4
Guest Barbara Posted February 1, 2004 at 06:38 AM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 06:38 AM but only if you’re a good boy, willing to shoulder the burdens of life 胜任愉快

michaelcrm Posted February 1, 2004 at 12:59 PM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 12:59 PM The most anti-traditional performance on marriage as 人尽可夫
Guest Barbara Posted February 1, 2004 at 01:20 PM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 01:20 PM for a wife to be at her husband's beck and call, though, certainly IS traditional 夫唱妇随 fu1 chang4 fu4 sui2
michaelcrm Posted February 1, 2004 at 01:39 PM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 01:39 PM Do whatever you want through 随心所欲
Guest Barbara Posted February 1, 2004 at 01:58 PM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 01:58 PM seems to be quite addicting, because you won't be able to stop again, even if you want to 欲罢不能 yu4 ba4 bu4 neng2
michaelcrm Posted February 1, 2004 at 02:16 PM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 02:16 PM well, this one cost me some time. I got it. I need to be a 能工巧匠(very competent worker/craftsman) on the art of Chinese language to hammer out the answer for Barbara. How about that?
Guest Barbara Posted February 1, 2004 at 02:38 PM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 02:38 PM well done! just like any great artist with his own, unique ways 匠心独运 jiang4 xin1 du2 yun4
michaelcrm Posted February 1, 2004 at 02:46 PM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 02:46 PM planing the overall strategy while being far away from the place where the strategy is applied, as 运筹帷幄 Here comes a challenging one, good luck.
Guest Barbara Posted February 1, 2004 at 03:41 PM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 03:41 PM as 帷幄 wei2 wo4 stands for 帐幕， it’s not such a challenge, after all, because what good is there in too much planning ahead? Isn’t it much nicer to live free and careless? 幕天席地 mu4 tian1 xi2 di4 (hi michael, I was asked to add the pinyin to my idioms, because not everybody is familiar with reading 简体字, would you be so kind and do the same? thanks! )
michaelcrm Posted February 1, 2004 at 04:13 PM Report Posted February 1, 2004 at 04:13 PM Sorry about that Barbara. I didn't notice it. Good transformation! I believe that's the very value of this game. In this modernized planet people can hardly find enough place to live freely and carelessly, unless in a country with considerable countryspace as well as intensive production 地大物博 (di da wu bo/)
