わたしのすきなもの













わたしの好きな(すきな)久石譲(じょえじさいし)です。
じょえじさいしは日本の作曲家(composer)、音楽家(musician)、指揮(conductor)。
I wish I could write the kanji terms in Hiragana. I hope it does make sense.
Joe Hisaishi is best known for his work with animator Hayao Miyazaki(宮崎駿). He composed many songs including the popular ones. Such as Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbour Totoro. I also knowing him form watching the animation because the music is too beautiful to forget.

到现在还记得第一次听到风之谷的感觉,有如身在无人之境之势.
委婉,哀伤,静谧还是另外有什么言语可以形容,我不知道.
可是这些音乐让我感动至今.

これはわたしの村上春樹(Murakami Haruki)です。
Among his incredialbe long work list,ノルウェイの森(のるうぇいのもり) and 海辺のカフカ(うみべのかふか) are two of favorites.
The title of these two novels after translation are Kafka on the Shore and Norwegian Wood. (I am not so sure about this)

There is a possibility I could read Janpanese literature books rather than the translation ones.
This is one of the reasons I am here. And no matter how hard it is. I will still be here.

At the end, I want to share Joe Hisaishi's music.

First Post!

こんいちわ!わたしわちあんです、中國からきました。
Hi, Nice to meet all of you guys. I am Tian, from China.Wow, it is that hard for me to express myself by using the language I learned for just two days. I hope it would get better.

The reason of learning Japanese

Honestly, I never think of taking Japanese as my third language before even though there are so many people around me are into it. That's one of the reasons I registered after the first week of the class. I am not taking it for a requirement or anything but for myself. Learning different languages and cultures are always on the top of my hobby list. Personally, I think learning the language is the best way of knowing its culture. Even nowadays the world runs globally but still the original book is always always better than the translated ones. By the way, I love reading. Maybe reading Japanese book will be a dream come true later in my life. Next time I'll tell you who is my favorite Japanese writer.

用中文描述自己的时候我发现比起来用学了一个星期的日语真的是一件令人很舒畅的事情。语言就是表达自己和了解别人的工具,同理外语就是跨文化和国界的交流。从我意识到这点的那刻就深深地爱上了文字和语言。这是我学日语的主要原因.
