古籍

元旦到了，天很應景地又下了場大雪，希望這次的雪不要再化掉了。聖誕節的假期已經過去，所以我們又要開課了；再上一個多月，這學期的課便可以告以完結。不知道下學期的課是什麼呢，真的好期待啊。新的一年裡也要和大家一起好好努力！

January 1st came. Accordingly, there should be fireworks, but perhaps Canadian don’t have such tradition. To cater for the occasion, it snowed again, which I hope would not melt once more. The holiday is going to end, so we will start our courses again; another month later, this semester’s courses will be closed. No idea what next semester’s courses will be, but I really look forward to them. With classmates, I will effort hard in the new year!

叔叔這裡前段時間買了整套的正體豎排的二十四史；因為好奇，我便找了《史記》來看。本來以為這本書會很無聊，卻沒想到其實很有意思，只是不認識的字有些多，所以需要常常查找，因此看得很慢很慢。另外，有許多字雖然看上去認識，但其實它們那時的意思與現在並不相同；這也幫助我了解到現代每個字詞的緣起。《史記》從黃帝開始講起，一直講到漢代。在這同時，我也忽然發現自己對中國的歷史竟然這樣無知，不禁覺得有些羞愧，所以暗暗又下決心以後有時間一定要了解下其他的朝代。

Uncle bought whole series of twenty four histories some time ago; because of curiosity, I got Record of History to read. Originally, I thought this book would be boring, but then I found it was indeed interesting. The only thing was that there were two many unknown words, so I need to look up words frequently, slowing down the speed of my reading. Another thing was that though some words looked familiar, but they had different meaning in the ancient times, which helped me get the idea or their origins. Record of History started from Emperor Huang, ended with the start of Han Dynasty. In the meantime, I also found that I was so igno rant of Chinese history, thus feeling a sort of shame, so I decided then to learn more about other dynasties later.
