A:
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
Mike, someone sent you a postcard!
|
|
B:
|
我看看！哦，是我的朋友从西藏寄过来的！
|
|
|

|
|
|
Let me see! Oh, my friend sent it to me from Tibet!
|
|
A:
|
是女朋友吧，哈哈！她字写得真漂亮！
|
|
|
shì nǚpéngyou ba, hāhā! tā zì xiě de zhēn piàoliang!
|
|
|
It's your girlfriend, right? Haha! She has very pretty handwriting!
|
|
B:
|
是普通朋友！哎？“一帆虫顺”，是什么意思啊？
|
|
|
shì pǔtōng péngyou! āi?" yīfānchóngshùn”, shì shénme yìsi ā?
|
|
|
She's just a normal friend! Huh? What does "一帆虫順" mean?
|
|
A:
|
嗯？“一帆虫顺”？我看看，哦，是“一帆风顺”，意思是她祝你在中国的生活和工作都顺利！
|
|
|
ng4?" yīfānchóngshùn”? wǒ kàn kan, ò, shì" yīfānfēngshùn”, yìsi shì tā zhù nǐ zài Zhōngguó de shēnghuó hé gōngzuò dōu shùnlì!
|
|
|
What? "一帆虫順"? Let me see... Oh, it's "Safe Journey!" it means she hopes that your job and everything go well for you in China!
|
|
B:
|
这个字是“风”，不是“虫”？
|
|
|
zhè ge zì shì" fēng”, bùshì" chóng”?
|
|
|
So this character is the character for wind, not the one for insect?
|
|
A:
|
对啊，这是“风”的繁体字。
|
|
|
duìa, zhè shì" fēng” de fántǐzì.
|
|
|
Yes, this is the traditional version of the character.
|
|
B:
|
在中国大陆也用繁体字吗？
|
|
|
zài Zhōngguó dàlù yě yòng fántǐzì ma?
|
|
|
Do they use traditional characters in Mainland China too?
|
|
A:
|
大陆基本上都是简体字，但是在书法中经常会用到繁体字，因为看起来更漂亮！
|
|
|
dàlù jīběnshang dōu shì jiǎntǐzì, dànshì zài shūfǎ zhōng jīngcháng huì yòngdào fántǐzì, yīnwèi kàn qǐlái gèng piàoliang!
|
|
|
Mainland China generally uses simplified characters, but traditional characters are used in calligraphy, because they look prettier!
|
|
B:
|
原来是这样啊！可以随意使用繁体字吗？
|
|
|
yuánlái shì zhèyàng ā! kěyǐ suíyì shǐyòng fántǐzì ma?
|
|
|
Ah, I didn't know that! Can you use traditional characters whenever you want?
|
|
A:
|
使用繁体字法律是有规定的。比如店招、书法什么的才可以用。
|
|
|
shǐyòng fántǐzì fǎlǜ shì yǒu guīdìng de. bǐrú diànzhāo、 shūfǎ shénmede cái kěyǐ yòng.
|
|
|
The use of traditional characters is regulated by law. They can only be used on signs and in calligraphy.
|
|
B:
|
哦。
|
|
|
ò.
|
|
|
I see.
