Brian: u didn’t answer my question yet, how did he start the photo job?

　　Nikky: well, it’s kinda natural for him, and he just like to photo everything he want.(对他来说是很自然的事情，他喜欢拍下喜欢的任何事情)

　　Brian: and sent those photos to the magazines?

　　Nikky: yes, he sent to a magazine, every picture that was good he sent to a magazine, and although he got a million rejections, he did get some positive encouragement.【注】Nikky的那个前男朋友虽然离开了她，但从她的谈话中可以看出Nikky还是有点怀恋，她的前男朋友刚开始干照相时，也经历了很多磨难，投杂志社，照片总是被拒载，就像初入写作的人梦想自己的文章有朝一日能变成铅字一样，但只要你坚持，总有一天会梦想成真的。

　　Brian: from u?

　　Nikky: no, from himself, never give up

　　Brian: with his digital camera? (用他的数码相机么？)

　　Nikky: he got several cameras.

　　Brian: did he need some, some special permissions to travel into China? (他来中国需要通过什么特别的许可么)

　　Nikky: I just know that what he need is a visa he can get from the Chinese consulate, which is very easy to do. (我仅仅知道他只需要从中国大使馆那里得到签证就可以了，这比较容易办到)【注】我的一个同学毕业后也留在上海工作，负责长晶体，公司规模不大，最近要到美国参加一个国际性的晶体博览会，上个星期到美国驻上海大使馆签证，结果三句话不到就被表情冷漠的签证官告知被拒绝签证，(和他一起签证的还有几十个人，几乎统统被毙)听了Nikky说美国人到中国签证好像就跟出省一样简单，不仅有点为此感到愤愤。

　　Brian: no passport.

　　Nikky: yes, no passport.

　　Brian: that’s really no fair.(这真不公平呐)

　　Nikky: Ahhh

　　Brian: he went to Beijing?

　　Nikky: absolutely

　　Brian: and the Forbidden City? (紫禁城也去了么？)

　　Nikky: yes, he was with a local guide who got him into the Forbidden City and all the other places of interest.

　　Brian: that he took pictures there in Forbidden City?

　　Nikky: I don’t know, he just told me he went there.

　　Brian: and u know about the Forbidden City, nikky?【注】问问这个Nikky听说过紫禁城没有

　　Nikky: is it the house for the ancient Chinese Empire? (是不是给过去皇帝住的房子？)

　　Brian: yes, u know a lot about Chinese history!

　　Nikky: just a little, so I thought if one day I want to be here in China, I want to see the Forbidden City , and the Great Wall as well

　　Brian: so he went to the Great Wall?

　　Nikky: yes, he did.

　　Brian: was it memorable?【注】memorable，值得纪念的，有纪念意义的

　　Nikky: if I were him , it would be the most exciting thing to stand on the Great Wall of China, brian, have u bee there, the Great Wall?

　　Brian: just once, in 1993, when I was in the high school. (我只去过北京一次，那是我93年上中学的时候)

　　Nikky: it must be great, awwww

　　Brian: u can say that, especially at sunset【注】日落, basically all alone, it was an incredible experience.【注】93年还在上中学的我随着父亲出差第一次到了北京，而且第一次看到长城和长城上美丽的日落，当时只有自己一个人，静静的，在长城脚下，感受长城的凄凉和美丽。

　　Nikky: u get to feel it , all alone.
