Thursday, September 4th, 2008Children Chinese – The Rainbow Bridge (1)
Thursday, September 4th, 2008
Before NOVA begins its construction, the Rainbow Bridge only exists in a 900-year-old painting that shows the bustling capital city of Kaifeng.
This ancient bridge has been a life-long obsession of Professor Tang Huan Cheng, one of the most eminent historians of bridges in China. Exactly how the Rainbow Bridge is put together has intrigued him for many years. Now he is eager to test his theories.

Chinese Conversation – lesson 189
Thursday, September 4th, 2008莉莎：那个白人超怪的。但可爱岛的确听起来很美。我一直都想去走走卡拉劳步道。
小君：我有读过那个地方！那里有悬崖、瀑布和果树！我有两个星期的时间。耶，我们去吧！
莉莎：好。我想我可以休个假。但我们先把欧胡岛玩遍了再说。
小君：酷。那我们今天晚点去珍珠港吧。
莉莎：好。但我们先玩一下。如果妳不下水，那至少得上天空去。（指指滑翔伞手）
The man leaves
Lisa: That haole is nuts. Kauai does sound beautiful though. I’ve always wanted to hike the Kalalau Trail.
Jun: I read about that! Cliffs and waterfalls and fruit trees! I have a couple of weeks. Yeah, let’s do it!
Lisa: OK. I think I can get the time off. But let’s explore all of Oahu first.
Jun: Cool. Let’s go to Pearl Harbor later today then.
Lisa: Alright. But let’s play a little first. If you’ve not going to get in the water, you at least better get in the air. [points at a parasailer]
