你好话小姐

我有一句问题。

我以前坐火车的时候看到一个中国人。
聚集我的勇气我问他:“对不起,你从那里来的”
我很惊奇和高兴他听得懂我说什么。”我是上海来的“他回答我。”你当什么工作?“他问我。
我说我是程序员。”啊,很好吧,我佩服你“。

佩服的意思比羡慕的一样不一样?

万事如意

Chinese Mandarin Learning : What Is Your Hobby?   Learn

Abstract : We all have them! I'll show you mine if you show me yours? There are many hobbies that we can take here in Shanghai, like sports, watching movies or for some lucky ones, traveling around, whether it be locally or overseas. The topic of hobbies is also a great conversation starter for those first time dates!

郢书燕说
