A Chinese Aphorism
- May. 7th, 2004 at 4:33 PM
Here's a saying my parents are fond of quoting:
路遥知马力，日久见人心
lu4 yao2 zhi1 ma3 li4
ri4 jiu3 jien3 ren2 xing1
Literal translation:
road long (spatial sense) [to know] horse force
day long (temporal sense) [to meet] person heart
Meaning:
By a long road shall a horse's full strength be known;
By the test of time shall a person's true heart be revealed.
Edit, 21:30 CDT: O tempura! O morays! O trask! :-D
(From
w00t_comic)
Grats to most of my friends (but not my students yet) at being done with final exams! Pizza Party (1 of 2) at Bana's smial!
Edit, 22:15 CDT: O... M... G!! LOL!1!!!!!
jereeza!
That is the awesomest thing I have seen in months. Jereeza the red!
You rock so hard it's not even funny.
Thank you!

But 'twas Nazguly!
Tres bien!
and had to adjust the camera to catch something other than deep darkness; in the end, I liked the 'red light district' effect. *giggle*
LOL! You're just a ldaz of the nught at heart.
Speaking of which, see the icon of Inara the Companion in
You need a "My fandom's WRAITH is its Madonna" icon. :-P
*SMOOCH!*
Meep! Bax atcha.
You, too, rock, mon. D'you think I'd combine my best Elvis voice with my Britney Spears Look of Innocence for just any bloke?
LOLOL, is that what it was?
You did very well, then!

(thanks again)
All in all, a beautiful snippet of insanity.
(Errr... You might want to verify your use of transliteration. What you have there seems to be more a literal translation. Transliteration is the stuff that turns the Cyrillic CCCP into the Roman SSSR. Which then gets translated into USSR.)
Are you having some long days on long roads, sweetie?
Take care.

Got it - thanks for the correction; I've edited it.
Are you having some long days on long roads, sweetie?
Take care.
Thou sayest.
