A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
方
Parties
I am not very comfortable about dancing at weddings and New Year parties. Maybe it's because of the way I have been brought up; I wouldn't want my family to feel that cringe moment. Dance is an art for me.
我不太喜欢在婚礼和新年晚会上跳舞。也许是因为我的成长方式;我不想让我的家人感到害怕。舞蹈对我来说是一门艺术。

I wasn't political enough to write articles about myself or go to cocktail parties, meaning that not only has my art been pirated and my intellectual property rights stolen, but my work has been misrepresented.
我没有足够的政治背景来写关于我自己的文章或参加鸡尾酒会,这意味着我的艺术不仅被盗版,我的知识产权被窃取,我的作品也被歪曲了。
These days we seem more bound to our bosses than ever before. We even identify our own selves with the jobs we do: 'What do you do?' is the first question we ask each other at parties, as if a job title could express a fundamental truth about our personality.
如今,我们似乎比以往任何时候都更离不开老板。我们甚至把自己和工作联系在一起:‘你是做什么的?这是我们在派对上互相问的第一个问题,似乎一个职位头衔可以反映出我们性格的一个基本事实。
