Nikky:well , sometimes I just came to the view that talking with a native guy, are u sure that u are a Chinese?
Brian:I am sure, my friend, I am Chinese, and my Chinese name is Dai Shi Hui. Actually Dai(戴) in Chinese is my last name, and Shi hui(世惠) is my first name, people call me like Dai-Shi-hui, in American way, it gets to put the upside down----Shi-hui-Dai.(美国人叫法是倒过来,世惠-戴)
Nikky:Dai-shi-hui?
Brian:pretty good, follow me, again, Dai-shi-hui(我在教她念我的名字)
Nikky:Dai-Shi-hui
Brian:u get it?
Nikky:ok, I get it, Dai-Shi-hui, what does that mean, is your name meaningful?(名字有什么特殊意义吗。很好的句子,下次见到老外时一定用出去)
Brian:it has some certain meanings in Chinese, actually Dai is my father and father's father's name, so I get to follow that name, u know in China, a new born child should be given his father' last name in most conditions instead of the mom's (在中国,大多数情况随父姓), just like in America, when a girl weds someone, she got to change her name of to her husband's(而在美国,当女孩嫁人后,随老公姓,跟香港人和日本一样), is it correct?
Nikky:yeah, u say that, sounds interesting, so what Shi-Hui mean?
Brian:well, Shi(世) in Chinese means the "world" and Hui(惠) probably means "smart", my parents just wish me to be a smart boy and have a world view as much as possible.
Nikky:ehh, where u come from? U told me that u are not a local shanghainese, is shanghainese correct one, I am not sure about that
Brian:yeah, u are right, my friend, I came from Hubei Province, a south province in China, one of the four hottest provinces in China probably, u know, in the summer, going out in the day is a dangerous thing and it's just sort of stove(火炉) and baking hot(形容非常炎热的天气,这个用法绝对地道,是我跟一个外国小孩学的).
Nikky:here Nyc too, since the winter is nearly coming, I just try to stay home as much as I can.(只要我能呆在家里,我就呆在家里。这个用法太简单了,可用的地方很多)
Brian:so u don't have social life.
Nikky:no, I have as much as I want, but it's freezing up here(极度寒冷,充分对应刚才的非常炎热)
Brian:so u decide to be kind of a indoor girl
Nikky:yup(是的)
Brian:never feel lonely sometimes?
Nikky:actually a little bit, but it's ok, and I can get by it with myself, since I have a lot of work to do and the time that I can spend online is really not much, u are someone that keep me talking and talking
Brian:my pleasure :)
