Drunken driving cases spike in China for reference in USA:
"Bottoms up" culture i.e. Cheers or Drink a toast: "Gan bei" in Pin Yin system of romanization.
Chinese traditional expression: "Among bosom friends, a thousand cups are too few."
In Pin Yin: " Jiu feng zhi ji qian bei shao." for above statement.
Next line in continuation: "Hua bu tou ji ban ju duo." i.e. When there are conflicts in dialog,even half sentence is too many."
2. The above situation may be modified when I meet superb students at www.Dictyon.net, the gateway to global languages, I would say: "Shuo hua tou ji qian ju shao." i.e. When we have mutual interest in our talks, even one thousand words are not enough!
3. Seven Steps to the Study of Wisdom:
1.The more you read: "Du shu yue duo" in Pin Yin
2.the more you know: "Zhi shi yue duo"
3.the more you know: "Zhi shi yue duo"
4.the smart you grow: "Cai hua zeng zhang"
5. The stronger your voice:"Fa yan qiang jian"
6.Speaking your mind openly:"Yan zhi cheng li"
7.Making your choice wisely:"Xuan ze ming zhi"
The above English and Chinese expressions may be useful for all folks to ponder and reflect for thoughts.
