Grandma Low's Pick of 4-Words of Wisdom
A fun book will captivate and enhance people’s interests in learning both Chinese and American idioms and expressions. When Chinese say “十全十美”, American say “Perfect ten”; When Chinese say “画龙点睛”, American say “Cherry on the sundae” or “Crowning touch”. And Chinese “狼吞虎咽” is equivalent to American “Eat like a pig” or “Pig out”. While, when American say “You’ve made your bed, now lie in it.” or “Go along to get along”, Chinese say “嫁鸡随鸡,嫁狗随狗”, the literal translation is “Marry a chicken, lead a chicken’s life; marry a dog, lead a dog’s life.” When American say “Don’t cast your pearls before swine”, Chinese say “对牛弹琴”, the literal translation is “facing a cow to play piano”. The book features 290 frequently-used Mandarin Chinese idioms and expressions with matching American counterparts. Each one displays both simplified & traditional Chinese characters and is accompanied by a freehand illustration. Five artists contributed to the total of 330 freehand drawings.
