It's late and I am tired and sleepy but I still want to share with you a word I just thought of. My brain is fried and I can't think much at the moment. I will talk about why I thought about that word later. In the meantime, please click on the link to my article for illustration of what "hypocrite 偽君子" means. https://elisaenglish.pixnet.net/blog/post/9313344
The last time I posted an entry was about 2 years ago. I don't know when I will post again. It's hard to find the motive to write. By the way, according to my daughter, Taylor Swift is a very famous singer. So I am adding a link of her song "The Last Time". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuijXg8wm28&ab_channel=TaylorSwiftVEVO

I am somewhat technologically challenged. The layout of the guestbook is ugly and the size of it is too small. I have trouble reading all the messages let alone replying them. Actually, there is no way for me to reply either. I am looking for a way to create a guestbook rather than using the embeded one. If you come across any good source code for guestbook, please let me know. Thanks!

It didn’t come as surprise as I watched the Chinese diplomats condescending to vulgar behaviors by tongue lashing Blinken for more than 20 minutes to top Biden Administration officials in their first meeting, setting the stage to exploit President Biden as they did Barack Obama.
Beware! If you give the Chinese government an inch, they will take a mile.
Don't let the camel get his nose under the tent!

C’est si bon (French) 真是太棒了: It’s so good!
Since it is new year, I should write something more positive. I talked about C'est la vie last time, so I should probably introduce another French phrase this time: C’est si bon

It's the first day of a new year. I should probably write something more positive. However, the past year has rendered me helpless, leaving me feeling c'est la vie. Nolens volens, I felt that we were left willy-nilly to accept the selfish and self-centered actions of others. So, our school will reopen in January with grades K-8 returning to in-person learning full time and grade 9-12 alternating between online and in-person, all under reduced social distancing rules to less than 6 feet and with elimination of any limitation to room capacity. Our school still gives the students an option to choose to continue online learning. As COVID-19 is still out of control with new strain more infectious and limited vaccines available, I can’t believe the approach the school is taking. But then, many parents probably have reach to a point where they can no longer tolerate their children having online classes at home, without any supervision. In addition, some children just can't adapt to online learning. Anyway, the US has never really taken COVID-19 seriously enough even until now. C'est la vie. Life goes on.
Here, I used a few new words. I will explain them in detail below.

I recently read a message left by my reader and decided to come up with a translation of this Chinese poem. However, this is not a good translation and I struggled with words. Anyway, for now, this is what I have. By the way, the translation from my reader was pretty good, so I will share it here with you.
