Loving these short translation centered on the phrase 不亦快哉 (bù yì kuài zāi), "is THAT not a delight?" (or something else, depending on the context). This is NOT modern Chinese, but the translations really make it all so relatable. Thanks, Brendan O'Kane burninghouse.substack.com/p/whats-good
Arrived today: new editions of Mandarin Companion books & new Level 2 Sherlock Holmes that I look forward to reading. Font size is bit larger compared to 1st editions - nice! I lost some 1st ed books last summer to students/prof who kept my copies from summer camp: good problem.📖
