1iu     pu   (aged8)Li Qufei's English translation

(ming    dynasty,1368—1644)

a    brook    in     front   of   my    gate, a ditch of water in front of the door,

ru    night   and     day. Flowing eastward day and night.

"hey,     here      are    you   heading,    mate?" I asked where I went?

"i’m    to    t’vast    o     far   aay!” Cangming stopped!

15. The tea is still hot

Yanshu: Teacher, please sit down.

Jinyu: You sit down. You're welcome.

Yanshu: You are sitting there.

Jinyu: You're really welcome. The teacher likes to stand.

Yanshu: I like to stand, too.

Jin Yu: I haven’t taught you now, are you still so polite?

Yanshu: Be a teacher for one day and be a father for life. What's more, if you teach us for one year in the first year of high school, how can you forget the teacher's teaching?

Jinyu: It is said that tea is cold when people leave, but fortunately, "the tea is still hot."

Yanshu: That doesn’t apply to the relationship between teachers and students. Nothing is more pure than teachers and students.

Jin Yu: It’s really uneasy to let you stand. This is a mess.

Yanshu: What does the teacher say? If you don’t sit down, wouldn’t it be a disaster for a young man?

Jin Yu: First come, sit first, you have to talk about coming first, and you will arrive first.

Yanshu: It is natural for students to let their teachers.

Jin Yu: There is no natural scripture, thank you for your kindness. Then it’s better to obey your destiny than respect.

Yanshu: Why has the teacher been home until now?

Jinyu: After school, I will go back to the dormitory to read a book. There is no need to rush home when the holiday comes.

Yanshu: What kind of long holiday?

Jinyu: I have no classes on weekends and Mondays for three days. Does it look like a short holiday?

Yanshu: It’s like this every week?

Jin Yu: This is the case this school year.

Yanshu: The teacher has a lot of holidays.

Jin Yu: Isn’t this a “blessing in disguise”? I don’t have good eyes, I only take one class. I have to be grateful to my teacher for teaching my first year of high school every year. I also have to thank the teacher. I didn’t arrange my classes on Monday, so I have a lot of holidays.

Yanshu: Will the teacher be in the dormitory next Wednesday morning?

Jinyu: I won’t be here in the morning. I will have a class in the first session next Wednesday afternoon. What business do you have?

Yanshu: January 31st is Halloween, I want to give you candy.

Jinyu: Halloween? I almost forgot where I was. I was in the first thirty minutes of class, and I was not in the rest of the time.

Yanshu: Oh, I only have one lollipop in my bag now, so I will give it to the teacher first.

Jinyu: I am such an adult and still eat candy.

Yanshu: No matter how big it is, it can be eaten

Jinyu: Thank you, Yanshu. Thanks to your reminder, otherwise I would forget where I will. I have to go back and prepare to buy some candy for the first-year high school student. See you next Wednesday afternoon.

Yanshu: Teacher, I'm at the station. You should get off the bus and be slower.

Jinyu: Thank you Yanshu. Be careful of safety.
