学习的快乐

学习是一件快乐的事, 学习语言更是别有一番乐趣. 我的小侄子(由于不堪忍受学英文的痛苦,曾经有些恼羞成怒地)问过我:好好的中国人,干嘛要学英语. 那时我的回答是:外语是一项工具, 会说一门外语就是掌握了一项技能. 所以早期的我学英语如同学习使用电脑和驾驶汽车, 这三样都称为技能. 但其与另两项技能不同的是, 使用电脑和驾驶汽车都可以在现实生活中反复练习, 所以学过之后再运用于生活或工作之中就会越来越熟练, 不会轻易忘记. 但学英语由于不容易有环境学以致用, 所以由于学了以后没有使用, 很快就忘记了. 就形成了不停地学, 不停地忘的恶性循环. 那个感觉是痛苦的. 如果换成今天的我来回答当初小侄子的问题, 我会说: 学习一种语言, 就是打开一扇通往那个世界的门. 如果你喜欢汉堡包, 比萨, 好莱坞大片, 你就应该了解这些东西所代表的那种文化.任何一种文化的形成都自有其原因, 盲目地崇拜或者是不厚道地贬低往往体现了我们的无知, 只有理智而客观的评价才是对别人和对自己的尊重.

Present Continuous Tense (Negative form)

I am writing = من دارم مي نويسم /man da:ram minevisam/
I am not writing = من دارم نمي نويسم /man da:ram neminevisam/

Note: the structure is correct. However, we'd better use the negative form in S.P.T for it in P.C.T. So :

I am not writing = من نمي نويسم /man neminevisam/

see 73

Present continuous Tense

1. We have this in Present Continous Tense:

2. The 2nd verb (going), should be used in the same way as we use in Simple Present Tense.
I have = دارم /da:ram/
You have = داري /da:ri/
He/she/it has = دارد /da:rad/
We have = داريم /da:rim/
You have = داريد /da:rid/
They have = دارند /da:rand/

I am going = دارم مي روم /da:ram miravam/
You are going = داري مي روي /da:ri miravi/
He/she/it is going = دارد مي رود /da:rad miravad/
We are going = داريم مي رويم /da:rim miravim/
You are going = داريد مي رويد /da:rid miravid/
They are going = دارند مي روند /da:rand miravand/

I write = مي نويسم /minevisam/
I am writing =دارم مي نويسم /da:ram minevisam/
You are writing = داري مي نويسي /da:ri minevisi/
She is writing = دارد مي نويسد /da:rad minevisad/
We are writing = داريم مي نويسيم /da:rim minevisim/
You are writing = داريد مي نويسيد /da:rid minevisid/
They are writing = دارند مي نويسند /da:rand minevisand/

Present perfect tense-verb with the subjuective pronouns (have/has seen)

1.Delete the ن/nu:n/ from the end of an infinitive first. We will have a verb in simple past tense. Like ديدن /didan/ become ديد/did/.
2.Then, add ه /he/ sound to this verb. We will have ديده /dideh/.
3.Next, put ام /am/, اي /i:/, است /ast/, ايم /im/, ايد /id/, اند /and/after the newly made verb.

ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + ام /am/ = ديده ام/dideh am/ = I have seen.
ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + اي/i:/ = ديده اي/dideh i:/ = You have seen.
ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + است/ast/ = ديده است/dideh ast/ = He/She has seen.
ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + ايم/im/ = ديده ايم/dideh im/ = We have seen.
ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + ايد/id/ = ديده ايد/dideh id/ = You have seen.
ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + اند/and/ = ديده اند/dideh and/ = They have seen.

Present perfect tense-verb with the subjuective pronouns (see,saw,seen)

1.Delete the ن/nu:n/ from the end of an infinitive first. We will have a verb in simple past tense. Like ديدن /didan/ become ديد/did/.
2.Then, add ه /he/ sound to this verb. We will have ديده /dideh/.
3.Next, put ام /am/, اي /i:/, است /ast/, ايم /im/, ايد /id/, اند /and/after the newly made verb.

ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + ام /am/ = ديده ام/dideh am/ = I have seen.
ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + اي/i:/ = ديده اي/dideh i:/ = You have seen.
ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + است/ast/ = ديده است/dideh ast/ = He/She has seen.
ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + ايم/im/ = ديده ايم/dideh im/ = We have seen.
ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + ايد/id/ = ديده ايد/dideh id/ = You have seen.
ديد /did/ + ه /he/ + اند/and/ = ديده اند/dideh and/ = They have seen.

simple past tense-verb with the subjuective pronouns (write,wrote)

write = نوشتن /neveshtan/
Delete the last letter ن /nu:n/ from its end, and we will have نوشت /nevesht/

write = نوشتن /neveshtan/==>نوشت/nevesht/
I wrote = من نو شتم /man neveshtam/==> نوشت + /am/ نو شتم = م
You wrote= تو نو شتي/to neveshti/==> نوشت + /i:/ نو شتي = ي
He/She wrote= او نو شت/u: nevesht/==> نوشت + nothing = نو شت
It wrote= ان نو شت /a:n nevesht/==> نوشت + nothing = نو شت
We wrote= ما نو شتيم /ma: neveshtim/==> نوشت + /im/ نو شتيم = يم
You wrote = شما نو شتيد/shoma: neveshtid/==> نوشت + /id/ نو شتيد = يد
They wrote = انها نو شتند/a:nha: neveshtand/==> نوشت + /and/ نو شتند = ند

simple past tense-verb with the subjuective pronouns (go,went)

1. رفتن/raftan/ means 'to go'. just delete ن/n/from its end to change it into simple past tense. We will have رفت/raft/.
2. Now we add different suffix to رفت /raft/ to make the verb for each subjective pronous.

I went = من رفتم /man raftam/ = رفتم = م + رفت

You went = تو رفتي /to rafti/ = رفتي = ي + رفت

He/She went = او رفت/u: raft/ = رفت +nothing = رفت

It went = ان رفت/a:n raft/ = رفت +nothing = رفت
We went = ما رفتيم/ma: raftim/ = رفتيم = يم + رفت
You went = شما رفتيد/shoma: raftid/ = رفتيد = يد + رفت
They went = اتها رفتند /a:nha: raftand/ = رفتند = ند + رفت

Beautiful Queenstown (漂亮的皇后镇)

皇后镇是新西兰最美的一个小镇. 有人形容新西兰的美是随手拍一张照片都可以成为风景明信片. 皇后镇就是这样的一个地方.

博客名称由来(三)

由于我和我先生的婚姻结合,所以我的生活中除了东方文明古国的传统之外,也融入了西亚波斯帝国的文化.在这个博客空间中,所有的东西都会围绕着这两个大主题. 这就是本博客名称的由来.除此之外,因为我的商业背景和国外生活经历,所以有些主题会涉及商业管理和异国风土人情.

my life fulls of the chinese traditional culture and persian empire's which also has the long history.

博客名称由来(二)

最早并不知道博客一说,最早知道的是英文的BLOG,是从当时的IT课程中得知的,说是用来记录,分享专业经验的类似工作日记的网上记录.讲了一大堆利弊.因是全英文的教材,所以当时我不是很明白BLOG的确切中文意思,而当时的英汉翻译词典中也查不到BLOG的中文解释.但大概意思是明白了,直到后来国内的博客红火起来,终于把BLOG和博客对上了号.任何东西的存在都是有利有弊的,但我还是很高兴博客的成在,让我们多了一个分享的空间.

I have known the word 'Blog' initially from my IT course in university. I am really happy there is such place to share good staff with family, friends and others.

博客名称由来(一) Why 'China-Persia'?

为了解释一下博客名称的由来,不得不提及一下我的婚姻. 我是中国人,我先生是波斯人,所以我是波斯的媳妇,而我先生是中国的女婿.创建这个博客不是为了凑热闹,赶时髦,而是为了有一个空间来追踪自己的成长,和分享那些促进自己成长的珍贵资料.它们也许只是一句话,也许只是一个定格的瞬间,也许只是一个外语单词, 也许是一个鲜活的生命.但它们构成了我的点点滴滴,它们带来的影响体现在我的一颦一笑;一举手,一投足之间.我珍惜它们的存在,我感谢它们对我带来的帮助.在我们的生命中真的有很多很多值得珍惜的东西. 我愿意始终怀着一颗感激的心和一种正面的态度来对待我的生活.

Why useing "China-Persia" as the name of my blog? To answer this question, here I have to introduce a little bit about my marriage. I am a chinese lady, and my husband is a persian boy. Preferrablely, I'd like to say that I am a daughter in law of Persia and he is a son in law of China. So that the China-Persia things will through my life. Creating this blog is not for fun but for having a place to track my life, as well as sharing those touching things with all my family members and friends. I believe there are a lots of things worth to be cherished. I am always willing to face my life with a heart with appreciation and a positive attitude.
