十一月: Sandy Perkins – Beijing December 2019
十一月初我跟我女朋友去了上海玩儿了三天。我们是坐高铁的,高铁是 中国的最快的一种火车。从北京到上海只花费了我们的五个小时!跟北京比起来上海的天气很暖和,让我们觉得很舒服。我们在上海去看了一些名胜古迹,包括上海老城街、豫园和上海滩。我们也去了一个我特别喜欢的地方,叫田子坊。在这里的街上有很多石库门,一种有一个大石门的上海老房子。现在田子坊的石库门都是小商店,有各种各样的小商品,比如说,服装店、小吃店、艺术品店。在田子坊也可以买很多种小笼包,也有可以喝汤的包子,叫蟹黄包。那些包子都很好吃。我们在田子坊逛一逛一半天,然后找到了一些小酒吧喝了啤酒和金汤力。 回来北京以后我继续拼命地学习中文。十一月底我参加了一个配音比赛。在这个比赛中我需要录我自己配一个中国电影场面的音。我选择了《英雄》,一个关于中国秦朝的秦始皇的电影。通过这个比赛我学到了一些很老的中文词和历史。我觉得参加这场比赛很好玩儿,也对我的汉语很有用,因为除了学习生词以外,我也仔细的学习了演员说中文的节奏。通过这样的学习,我希望我的中文能说得更自然。 At the start of November my girlfriend and I went to Shanghai for a short break. We…
