Translating 老徐 (Career woman, housewife)

Translation of her 职业妇女家庭妇女 blog post:

The small shop still hasn't officially opened for business, Fresh Flowers Village is already buzzing with activity, the topic these days apart from being a few small random things, is mostly centered around all kinds of small workshops that are being constructed, unexpectedly someone has said that they want to work on wool, it is still early on so there is no proper plan, the whole time my older sister has been both as loud as a thunderstorm and quiet as a few raindrops, apart from sweetly playing her triangle in her band, nothing she says should be taken seriously, I'll blame her on here for a bit.

Our lives are really like soap operas, a white elder brother has watched us being lively these past two days, he said this would make a great TV show: how a gang of career women grew up to become housewives. This topic really is fresh. Anyway, after I had my small friend Wei BoEr I felt like I was really living with my own family, the family often has a flower as a part of it; and my little sister peach often goes back home to her husband's family, and she often does both difficult and simple exercises. Despite when I see her I act like I don't want to ……, but she still gives me support …… I really do act strangely …… hehehe ……

There's a friend, I won't bring up her name, as a result of the stupid accident while she was working, acting like it was something serious, but even here I'll give her some support, in terms of eating well and staying warm, since I act as if I have free will, anything can be thrown away ……

There's another friend, since I haven't said a name I won't say any names at all, she seems more and more like she'll be known as a leader, no matter what kind of nonsense and gossip she says, as soon as she gets a work call, she puts on a serious expression and her voice immediately drops two keys: Hello …… whoever calls has no way of knowing what she was just talking about. Please, hello, sorry, thanks, bye.

And there's another friend who's come back for a break from an uncomparably cold place. She doesn't fight tigers and yet she's wearing a loose military hat, I haven't heard her giggles for ages, recently she's hurried to attend something in GuangDong or Manchuria, she's still going everywhere showing off with her silk stockings.

And there's yet another friend, of course being a rich wife lets you live happily, her msn name apart from advertising her boyfriend's film, always has something to do with fighting the landlord, nevermind Gui Ling (龟苓膏) ointment, nevermind Yi Fan San Zha (一反三炸), they say your dreams all have some kind of sign, recently she's still wearing Barbary (巴博瑞) ……

And and there's yet another friend, after I pushed him on marriage, up to now there hasn't been a sound from him, I won't urge him anymore, the emperor doesn't get hurried, the eunuch gets hurried. If he isn't quick and there is some development, and it's been reported to me, then I won't invite him for any meals.

On my main blog, there are still many internal and external affairs I need to do, I won't say if I'm a career woman or housewife, I want to attain both of them, I really admire myself, no need to be stiff.

Translating 老徐 (On the eve of setting up a small shop)

Translation of 小店即将开业:

These few days I've been showing that I've been continuing to "ignore my proper duties", keeping a cat, eating a barbecue duck, staring blankly, refusing to pick up the phone. Today's amusement item will be: taking pictures of clothes, since the fresh flowers shop has opened for business, looking for clothes in my wardrobe, my eyes filled with beautiful things, the result of not wanting to give up anything …… every item of clothing has many stories, a different city, a different person …… For now I've found some fun clothes I bought for myself for 《将爱情进行到底》, the white silk chest's full dress from the book LanKa《兰卡》, the scenery in ShanXi was almost the place of an accident last time I wore the yellow sports outfit ……

Oh, yes, all the income from my shop, coming into the Lion's group will go under my funds, selling for charity. I welcome everyone to come when they want and see ……

Translating 老徐

Translation of the dairy entry dated 2006/10/08 by 徐静蕾:

Wei BoEr (围脖儿) was originally a very small lazy cat, after he got to know his surroundings, he does nothing but eat and sleep. And, he's even learnt to jump on to the sofa and start dozing. From the moment he came, he's been sneezing. Yesterday, I finally went to the pharmacy and bought him a syringe. I stirred some Amoxicillin with warm water and sucked it into the syringe. Then I took off the needle and fed it through his mouth, he seems to be a bit better, I haven't come across him sneezing any more at night.

Yesterday the juicy peach (水蜜桃) couple came to see Wei BoEr, conveniently bringing their family's button (扣子) to make friends with Wei BoEr. When the two first saw each other, they were naturally unfamiliar, after a long time gazing at each other, like a couple of cat sculptures and after continuing for a long time, their small paws seemed to reach out in a Yi Bai style (一百) and bit by bit they each shifted backwards. Afterwards, they each seperately went to hide to hide in the two corners of the room. It was nothing like the way we imagined them to be friendly to each other. He's definitely still shy with strangers, I reckon that it'll be ok when then they come a few more times.

Button (a detailed account of the juicy peach's blog), which can't be more than a year old now, the story goes that from a month old when he was adopted by the peach's family, he hasn't seen anyone of the same species. Since he's been taken to new surroundings again, he's a bit nervous. he's a bit taller than Wei BoEr, he has a nose —— my family's Wei BoEr has a very small, mini nose, Button's facial features are easy to tell. He likes to let the peach family's little girl hold him, this made me a little bit jealous. Wei BoEr hates me holding him, as soon as I hold him he blindly struggles. Apart from the day when he just arrived, on the way back home, it's probably because the position in which I held him wasn't too comfortable. His most loving time is when he lies with his stomach on me or he lies with his back on me letting me play with his fur. During that, this small guy slowly closes his eyes and has an extremely comfortable expression. His loveable silliness is incomparable. And I just follow looking pretty.

I'll put on the two photos later on.

Translating 老徐

Translation of 老徐's 2006/10/06 diary post.

Gone through two days of what felt like training, Wei BoEr (围脖儿) is familiar with me by now, he's very happy when he sees me. When I go to bed in the evenings, he runs under my bed and calls out 'HuLu HuLu' for me to play with him.

I took his picture and taken it outside to show him off. Everyone says it's like the cat you find in toys.

My friend who disappeared finally returned my call.

My dad wants to call a family meeting.

Noone is allowed to say my family's Wei BoEr is ugly. People who feel that he isn't pretty definitely don't understand what's pretty and what's not. He is just a tiny, little bit fat. Actually it really suits him.

Happy mid-autumn.

Translating 老徐

Translation for the dairy entry on 2006/10/04:

I've managed to eat fried dough sticks, in a Hong Kong style hot pot restaurant. Enthusiastic readers and friends introduced me to Yong He Mai (永和买). But I asked Yong He (永和) to begin with, they only sell in the morning.

My fun-lacking friend still hasn't realised his errors and amended his ways, he still isn't thinking clearly up to now. Misbehaving.

I still haven't got the meaning behind Mr. Mo's (莫先生) joke. It's too late for me to respect the man as an old person.

Today the sunlight shone charmingly, I'm going to stroll to the building materials city (建材城).

老徐 翻译

Translation of the 2006/10/02 dairy:

A holiday is a holiday, ah. I looked at a round of blogs, none of them have any updates, before I didn't think of making an update either. But seeing how everyone is not writing, I'll take the role of the hardworking honeybee for now.

This is my first time watching F1 at the event, the noise of the racecars shook the outside stands so much that they said Song XiaoNing (宋小宁) schoolmate almost puked. On the other hand, I was in a big glass room and watching it made me almost puke, from a very small distance watching 10-something cars being driven at a speed of 300km/h flying past. My eyes focusing mechanisms went through a harsh test. I reached a conclusion, watching TV is still better. But Schumacher (舒马赫) as expected, started late but caught up and won again, fierce.

Finally, in Shanghai I got to eat those delicious meat stuffed buns again. My Shanghai schoolmate this time liked my choices. Though, the bun's skin was a bit thick. Next time, I'll be take more notice of it.

Yesterday, on the plane from Shanghai to Beijing, I again heard a certain person was enjoying the missing news. I was very much in a bad mood and really wanted to shout. Celebrating a big festival, is it possible to have something fresh. Seeing words as if on the surface, hurry and come out.

Seeing the messages left, people want to know which American serial I'm watching, the answer is: The O.C. . Only watching it now?? Mmm, yes, lately I've been falling behind the times. I've been unlucky always having an 'optimistic person' giving advice.

And, there are people asking who the certain person is, the answer is: Mo BoSang(莫泊桑) is the certain person.

On the other hand, I'm appealing for a bit, thanks for your messages or you can curse me, all with a good or bitter heart. The ones who vainly attempt things should see a doctor about their problem. Don't put it off. But there is a Mr. Miao (苗先生), please don't leave too much in the space, looking at it takes some effort, too much and I can't be bothered to read it. No matter how good or bad it is, you have to economise a bit. From now on if the space has too little substance, it'll be deleted.

Why do they stop selling deep-fried dough sticks in the day, really! I want to eat some.

Translating 老徐

So here's my first translation on this blog (I just moved over from Livejournal) as an effort to both improve my Chinese (continually berated for being at the 5-year old level, don't they understand there's a huge vocab barrier about then?) and learn more about Chinese 生活, how? By translating other blogs. I'm going to focus on 老徐 (Lao Xu) since her blog is incredibly popular and contains a nice variety of idioms and constructs. Sound fun? So here is my attempt at today's entry.

日记 [2006年09月30日]

I've known about Mr Gao Li Dai's (高利贷) big name for a while, I've finally met him. Originally it was to thank him for some matter. It became a type of popular lesson on business loans. Pity we three girls all have long hair, listening to it felt like 'high mountains covered with fog'. Talking to you people takes a lot of effort. Mr Gao Li Dai saw we were bored and uninterested 'like tweezers that just won't open' and finally when it was on the edge of crumbling, he was forced to start from the bottom 'from zero' and continued using farmland and digging for coal as comparisons. Now do you understand? Yes, yes, yes, we understand. Although, we still didn't understand. Too embarassed to admit it.

Last night I watched a good film, directed by Lǚ Re (吕乐), the story of a middle school student. The few actors are all 16-17, all acting for the first time, all acting well. I heard it was in the Tokyo film festival. I secretly believe it will be the best film in the near future. The story is adapted from the book by Da Cao (大草) , knives and knives 《刀子和刀子》. I heard Bo Xue (博学) talk about it long ago and she recommended it to the director.

Today I swam, after simming three lengths I almost fainted, my heart immediately wanted to jump out of my throat. After I got home, I sat on the sofa breathing heavily. Then makeup, then the charity evening party. My eyes were full of beautiful and bright lights, disco ball, beautiful girls as if clouds, beautiful legs as if forests and everytime the same.

But my darling unnamed person, you've spent this many ages and hundreds of years. Please don't constantly interfere with me, this is a charitable event. Really go through it everywhere.

Went home and as usual sat in front of the computer, as usual my neck hurt, but I'm already at peace. Because a few days ago after the bone specialist looked at the pictures of my skeleton, he confidently said, no problems. The dizziness and aches aren't due to my cervical vetebra. It's a problem with my how my front nerves work. What problem? —— it's just weak …… it's inborn, it's not a big deal. My balance is not good, so I easily faint. I act like understood when I didn't, but the expert had a very confident expression. So it's like he assured me, practical, blue skies white clouds. At home I told my mum, my mum said: Oh, that's hereditary. She has the same problem.

I went to see some American sitcoms. Tomorrow I'm getting up early and flying to Shanghai to watch the F1. Sounds like I'm still very busy.
