It's an irony

that I don't use the brain as much as before, yet I believe I get wiser.
So, am I saying that one gets wiser by not overusing his brain?

Can I develop satisfaction from something I regard as trivial??
No matter how succinct a statement over a trivial issue is,
it is still trivial. I admire its succinctness, that honestly I don't believe I can do it,
yet what's so important??

It's better not to use the brain to write something exact,
rather, I prefer doing some real works that demonstrate the writing of all kinds of things.

I don't like being censored, I don't like being banned.
I don't like being restricted to a single calling for the rest of my life.
I don't want to be stereotyped, even though I want myself to be something.

I don't know how the above paragraphs come to me..
I am just reading a text on translation -- Introducing Translation Studies by Jeremy Munday..

It's all politics in Translation Studies..
The translators try their best to communicate between two cultures..
Yet, the businessmen care only about money..
We just want our shares of LITERATURE back..

It's of no use writing some stupid stories.
If you can't even write something attractive to the local readers,
how are you going to promote it to the outside world??

It's a shame that a writer as prominent as Jin Yong still hasn't got all his works translated..

And it's a shame we still have to call John 約翰 when everyone knows the name..
John is already a Cantonese word, at least a HongKonger word..
These are not to be translated in my opinions..

The pk-est thing is, we can't write in our local dialect..
Gotta respect your own language, man~~
And gotta respect the world language, man~~
It is only through learning of others, bits by bits,
that this world is going to cooperate as a unit..

As I can't write freely in my native tongue,
so that's what I am doing, writing in English..

And, I really prefer to translate Chinese into English than otherwise,
because there's restriction in writing so-called good Chinese..

English?? It's freer!! You can even deliberately, spell the words wrongly,
just to make things appear more exotic and funny!!
