This book was released on 2018-08-19 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been suggested that Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, and Korean are the most difficult languages to learn in this world. In Times magazine (2006, 6th Issue), an essay about learning Mandarin Chinese alleged that for English-speaking students, it would take about 800 learning-hours to reach an intermediate level in French or Spanish, while it would take 2,200 hours to do so in Chinese.If you want to be a proficient speaker of Mandarin Chinese, one of the first things you need to do is to grasp at least 3,000 basic words. A small number of these basic words appear as single characters. For example, each of the following characters is a basic word:人 (rén, human; people)家 (jiā, home)世 (shì, century; history)道 (dào, way; sense)At the same time, a huge number of basic words are built by combining the independent characters based on a set of 22 rules. These rules are very easy to understand and apply, and once you know them you can easily identify thousands of basic words without any painful rote memorization! That will save you hundreds of hours in learning Mandarin Chinese.Let's have a try here: Can you guess how many words can be generated by combining the above four characters? Eleven!1. 人 (rén, human; people) + 家 (jiā, home) = 人家 (rén jiā, residents; me; someone)2. 人 (rén, human; people) + 世 (shì, world) = 人世 (rén shì, the world)3. 人 (rén, human; people) + 道 (dào, sense; way) = 人道 (rén dào, humanity)4. 家 (jiā, home) + 人 (rén, human; people) = 家人 (jiā rén, family member)5. 家 (jiā, home) + 世 (shì, history) = 家世 (jiā shì, family background)6. 家 (jiā, home) + 道 (dào, sense; way) = 家道 (jiā dào, family statuses)7. 世 (shì, world) + 人 (rén, human; people) = 世人 (shì ordinary people)8. 世 (shì, history) + 家 (jiā, home) = 世家 (shì jiā, a family with famous reputation)9. 世 (shì, world) + 道 (dào, sense; way) = 世道 (shì dào, social manners)10. 道 (dào, Tao) + 人 (rén, human; people) = 道人 (dào rén, Taoist priest)11. 道 (dào, Tao) + 家 (jiā, family) = 道家 (dào jiā, Taoist)Other highlights of this book include:(1) Easy and Fun for EveryoneThere are no abstruse grammar terms or obscure theories.

Download or read book Meaningful Stuff written by Jonathan Chapman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An argument for a design philosophy of better, not more. Never have we wanted, owned, and wasted so much stuff. Our consumptive path through modern life leaves a wake of social and ecological destruction--sneakers worn only once, bicycles barely even ridden, and forgotten smartphones languishing in drawers. By what perverse alchemy do our newest, coolest things so readily transform into meaningless junk? In Meaningful Stuff, Jonathan Chapman investigates why we throw away things that still work, and shows how we can design products, services, and systems that last. Obsolescence is an economically driven design decision--a plan to hasten a product's functional or psychological undesirability. Many electronic devices, for example, are intentionally impossible to dismantle for repair or recycling, their brief use-career proceeding inexorably to a landfill. A sustainable design specialist who serves as a consultant to global businesses and governmental organizations, Chapman calls for the decoupling of economic activity from mindless material consumption and shows how to do it. Chapman shares his vision for an "experience heavy, material light" design sensibility. This vital and timely new design philosophy reveals how meaning emerges from designed encounters between people and things, explores ways to increase the quality and longevity of our relationships with objects and the systems behind them, and ultimately demonstrates why design can--and must--lead the transition to a sustainable future.
Download or read book Transfiction written by Klaus Kaindl and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume on Transfiction (understood as an aestheticized imagination of translatorial action) recognizes the power of fiction as a vital and pulsating academic resource, and in doing so helps expand the breadth and depth of TS. The book covers a selection of peer-reviewed papers from the 1st International Conference on Fictional Translators and Interpreters in Literature and Film (held at the University of Vienna, Austria in 2011) and links literary and cinematic works of translation fiction to state-of-the-art translation theory and practice. It presents not just a mixed bag of cutting-edge views and perspectives, but great care has been taken to turn it into a well-rounded transficcionario with a fluid dialogue among its 22 chapters. Its investigation of translatorial action in the mirror of fiction (i.e. beyond the cognitive barrier of ‘fact’) and its multiple transdisciplinary trajectories make for thought-provoking readings in TS, comparative literature, as well as foreign language and literature courses.
