Heya there! Is it cool if I ask some questions?

Who’s your greatest enemy?

Are you afraid of death(not a threat it’s just my fav question)

Opinion on French toast?

- @aloafofbreadwithanxiety / @aloafofbreadthatcanroleplay

YES i love questions don’t be shy !! <3

i think my greatest enemy has to be this stupid TWINK i fight every other night to save london 😒 not only that but he’s weaseled his way into my home life and is banging one of my dads 🤨 gross behavior..

i think death used to be frightening to me, but because of my upbringing it is just a way of life to me. It’s the one thing all of life has in common and that’s a very peaceful thought to me. i think it is something really serene and beautiful at the end of it all. I’ve had my fair share of death encounters and i’d honestly rather let the wave of death roll over me instead of trying to fight the tides again and again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ some point it just gets exhausting. tldr i think death and i are friends at this point

i hate french toast i hate the french (including my french uncle sorry mr alexander) and anything and everything they create. they had the greatest idea when they used guillotines to behead themselves

B: [laughing and taking money] 你先说！你先说！

就是我的一个大学同学 [laughing] 他真的很恶心，他长得很丑。然后他高中高三的时候谈了一个女朋友，她现在考到浙江去了，但是这个男生突然之间地就是冷淡她嘛冷暴力她，然后突然那个男生发了个微信转台，这个男生的缩写名字然后一个爱心然后是另外一个女生的缩写。这个女生明知道他有女朋友，结果他们俩现在还在联系，然后两个人就是会约在某个酒店见面，然后 [they gesture, the caption reads 大火爆炒] 当中最抓马的一次就是这个女生突然之间某一次发生着关系的时候这个男生说，“我想录视频。”这个男生平时做这种事情的时候-

A: [reaching into pocket for another 5 yuan] 等一下，我在给你- [B laughing] 请您继续说。

B: 谢谢。这男生，他平时是会关灯的但是今天突然之间他就说，“开着灯”,甚至带了一个三脚架。

A: [laughing and reaching into pocket] 等一下- [handing another 5 yuan, B laughs]

B: 就是带了一个三脚架然后放在那个阳台上面嘛，让后那个女生不同意，结果穿上衣服就走了。然后后面又去打听到我们戏里面的另外两个女生现在也被这个男生在约，同一时间约会四个女生，但是呢他就是跟那两个骚的女生说，“姐姐，我是你的小狗狗。” [laughing] 他说，“狗狗要哭了，解决能不能来安慰一下狗狗？”

A: [laughing and handing more money] 五元！太搞笑了！

B: 然后后面，浙江的那个女生，就是原配质问那个男生，“这种事情你怎么做得出来的？”然后这个男生跟她说得很义正言辞说，“我不认为我在聊骚。聊骚这种事情��该是两个情投意合互相喜欢的人。我们只是说一些这种话，都是很正常的，但我认为这并不是聊骚。”最抓马的事情就是他们两个现在还在一起。[A looks confused] 他们还一起约去海边散步、一起发朋友圈、一起冲浪。

B: 你说是那男的和那学姐是吧？

A: 对的！

The end screen reads, "真实街采。谢谢观看"

(English version)

A: Excuse me, could I trade you 5 yuan for the spiciest gossip you know?

B: [laughing and taking money] You go first! You go first!

Just like, I had this university classmate... [laughing] Like, this guy, he's really very disgusting, and he's very ugly. And then when he was in senior year of high school, he got this girlfriend who is now at school in Zhejiang. But this guy, he suddenly just like, started giving her the cold shoulder, started emotionally neglecting her. And then suddenly that guy posted a WeChat status. It was this guy's abbreviation, and then a heart, and then some other girl's abbreviated name. That girl knew he had a girlfriend, but in the end, the two of them still kept in contact. And then the two of them would meet up at a certain hotel... And then... [they gesture, the caption reads "big fiery eruption"] At the time, the most "drama" time was just like, this girl- Suddenly during one time that they were having relations, this guy said, "I want to record a video." Normally when this guy was-

A: [reaching into pocket for another 5 yuan] Hold on, let me give you another... [B laughing] Please continue speaking.

B: Thank you. This guy would normally turn off the lights, but that day, suddenly, in the middle of it, said, "Keep the lights on." He even brought a tripod.

A: [laughing and reaching into pocket] Hold on. [handing another 5 yuan, B laughs]

B: Just like, he brought a tripod and then put it on the balcony. And then that girl wouldn't agree to it, so she put on her clothes and left. And then she went to inquire with our drama's two other girls. Right now, they were also being dated by this guy. He was dating 4 girls at once. But like, he was telling those two girls he was sexting with, "Jiejie, I'm your little puppy." [laughing] He said, "Puppy is going to cry. Can jiejie come console puppy?"

A: [laughing and handing more money] 5 yuan! So funny...

B: And then later on, the girl at Zhejiang, that is, the original girl, she asked the guy, "How could you even do something like this?" And then that guy said to her, as if totally justified, "I don't believe that I'm sexting. Sexting is something that can only be done by two who are in love. We were just saying this kind of stuff... It's all very normal... But I don't think this necessarily counts as sexting." The most "drama" part of this is the two of them are still together right now. [A looks confused] They still go on beach dates and stroll by the sea, they still post WeChat Moments together, they go surfing together-

B: You're saying that guy and the university girl?

A: Yes!

The end screen reads, "Real Street Interviews. Thanks for watching"

Paying 5 yuan for hot gossip

English added by me :)

[winnerloser]

idk who needed to hear this today but 

if you use fanart for anything, you give credit for it.

usually i would just implore you guys to at your own discretion but. 

i think sometimes people forget that if you use fanart without explicitly asking for the author’s permission, that's stealing. but obviously no one has ill intent behind it with this hobby, which is why crediting is important. it’s the least you can do.

it doesnt matter how much you use the fanart. even if it only appears on your blog once. even if it’s just a throwaway icon for a gag. even if you replace the icon with new icons from somewhere else. if it was on your blog at some point, and you don’t intend on deleting it, and it’s still on there, you give credit for it.

there’s maybe some leeway if you commissioned the art and/or the artist already cosigned you to using it without giving permission. but that’s the only special instance i can think of.

in that same vein, please just look on artist’s profiles to see if they allow reposting in the first place. if their account says no reproduction/no reposting/DONT USE MY ART.... don’t use it. if the bio is in japanese, chinese, korean, whatever- google translate it. i know google translate can suck but it’ll easily convey what you need to be looking for. 

if you’re one to think that you don’t want to use source media like screenshots or mangacaps because fanart is prettier, don’t ignore the fact that the people providing you the luxury to do so are just that- people, who spent hours to draw what could amount to just one or two icons. who could’ve drawn what you were using as a commission for someone else. who more than likely posted the image without any idea what you’re using it for-- more importantly;

without any idea what you’re using the image to represent, what messages you’re trying to convey- with their image. the fact that the subject is a copyrighted character/isn’t theirs doesn’t change the fact that the drawing in and of itself is still their creation.

it would behoove you to start keeping tabs of the sources you intend to pull from. if you see a piece from pixiv you think you’ll consider pulling from- pluck it, save it, so later when you open photoshop you’re not sitting with the pulled image thats titled computer jibberish with no artist’s signature.

YOU KNOW WHAT? i’ll go you one even better than that.

When you save an image from pixiv - this one for example, by default it’ll save it as 78827921_p0_master1200.jpg.  78827921 is the image ID. https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/78827921 will take you back to that image. Plug in any other ID, and it’ll go back to its source. There you go. Easy if you accidentally forgot to keep tabs.

nobody is entitled to the usage of another person’s art, and if you use the excuse that [just by virtue of OP posting it on the internet, it’s free gain], that’s bullshit.

if you post anything- even a text post or roleplay thread- going by that same logic, anyone should be allowed to reblog it, remix it, go to town on it; it’s on the open internet, after all... right? No. you’re entitled to security in the things you post. you don’t really need to say “don’t/ask to reblog” in the tags for people to get the hint to not or ask first if they feel inclined to. if you believe you’re entitled to that comfort and respect, i don’t see why that mindset can’t be translated to fit the situation of artists. even if you don’t give a shit how your stuff gets circulated, at least try to look at it in the way that not everyone is you.

and not everyone is me, so some may be wondering still why they can’t just go ahead and do what they want so long as they’re not hurting people/keeping it lowkey. i mean, at the end of the day, there’s nothing i can do about it either. you can totally do whatever you want, im not denying that. but just know that you’re not 100% in the clear from getting discovered by somebody. you’re not impervious to being found. and reposting/art being used or transformed without credit or consent is a very real reason that artists get upset or even sometimes lock their profiles, delete, or stop drawing/posting, or stop making their art publically available. this is NOT just a western philosophy. asian artists do this just as well- hell, you could even say that some are even more stringent about etiquette when it comes to treating their works with respect. that includes reposting policies.

if you’re too tired/busy/lazy/forgetful/cursed to credit, that’s 100% not an excuse lol. or if you’re thinking, crap, i have all these nicely done assets that i’ve created but it’ll be too difficult to go back and retroactively find the sources!

idk what to tell u but tough titties bro thats a you problem*

uh, so to end this:

再版ポリシーが破られている場合は、お知らせください。すぐに画像を削除します。このブログから利益を得ることも、失礼することも意図していません。再版は許可されているが、クレジットがない場合は、お知らせください。修正いたします。ありがとうございます、失礼します。

如果违反了您的转载政策，请告知我们。我会立即删除图像。它无意从此博客中受益或无礼。如果允许转载，但信用不正确，请告知我们。我会马上改正的。谢谢，不好意思。祝好

this is in my credit’s page at the bottom. i can’t vouch for the japanese, but i can say with more certainty that the chinese is legible. if someone is better at japanese and has any adjustments they’d recommend, please do so! it’s just saying that i don’t intend to cause harm or disrespect by borrowing the artwork, and that at any of the artists’ discretion, whether i’m violating their repost policy or not, they are urged to reach out to me and tell me to remove their art if they don’t want it on my blog. feel free to snatch it and use it for your credits page, or write something similar in lieu of that. i’m 100% in support of that.

please be conscious and considerate of the people who work hard and do a good deal of the heavy lifting for you to be able to make your blog pretty and aesthetic in the first place. i think the bounty of beautiful and high-quality art for the pokemon fandom- or for any popular fandom for that matter- sometimes makes us forget that it isn’t a commodity. it’s something that when taken for granted, can genuinely affect others who work hard to provide content for people to enjoy. at the end of the day, they do this to make themselves and others happy. seeing others take that work without any acknowledgement to them is demoralizing, don’t think that they’ll get enough recognition from others to compensate for you. that’s frankly not how posting art on social media works at all.

i mean, even if this doesn’t convince you, i can only hope it’ll spur you to be more conscious in the future. 

*i get that things happen and this isn’t meant to shame you if you happen to be one to do any of the things other than credit. but know that you don’t... really have an excuse when there’s so many different options, shortcuts and alternatives available to you. you don’t really cite from a shitton of different sources for your paper and then go back to pick through every individual quote to find where it came from to avoid plagiarizing. you just.. make a note or works cited. it takes like, 15 extra minutes. if you’re going to spend hours on photoshop or writing fancy infoposts, you can spend an extra 15 making a works cited.

24/4/2018 A cappella

He said, 

这么久了有好几次想说点什么，可编辑到一半又删除。有一段时间一直在迷茫和困惑中度过，有很多问题想问也不知道问谁，也不知道会不会得到答案。 我以前发过一个问答，当全世界否定你的时候你要怎么肯定自己还有未来。当时我已经有了自己的答案，并且想听听更多人的答案。 在这段迷茫的时期我一直在不断地看那个问答的回答，我看到了不同人的境遇和故事，也在不停地寻找新的答案。 这段Acappella是回西安的路上写的，从那时距离现在又有了三个月，此时的心境成长了更多。世界总是会以各种各样的方式去做平衡，生活也是最好的人生导师。人不轻狂枉少年，但随之过去也应该留下点什么，之前还没来得及留下的，之后一定也会向好的方向奔去，和支持我的人一起在积极的路上走下去。 一个人一生能有几次做梦的机会？这个答案并不是别人去给的，当你内心充满希望和阳光的时候，梦想依然会在不远处等你，这个跟任何因素都无关，自己能否坚定自己所坚持的才是关键。 之前我获得了人气和支持，我并没有太去想过以后如何将这份影响力放在积极的方向，而是只顾自己如何努力在专业上往更高处去，把中文说唱让全世界听到。当每天只剩去思考的这段时间，明白有些责任是应该主动承担的，在专注音乐之余，也应该正面去引导喜欢我的粉丝为这个世界做一些什么。 感谢赞美，也受住了诋毁，再有的，就都交给我这颗越来越强的心脏了。想不明白的事不想了，看不清的人和事情也不看了，把我要为之努力一生的事情坚持到最后就行，往后音乐上见，作品替我说话。

‘It’s been a while..I’ve always wanted to say something..but I was stuck in the process of writing it. There were times that I felt lost and confused, and there was no one there to answer to my questions, and I don’t even know if I will ever get an answer. I once asked, if the world turns it back on you, how do you make sure that you’ll still have a future. At that moment, I already had an answer, so I wish to hear some other responses from the others, Whenever I feel perplexed, I would keep reading those in search for new answers through others’ stories and perspectives. 

I wrote this A cappella when I was on my way back to Xi’an, it’s been three months since then, and I have learned and grew. There are a lot of ways that the world is finding its own equilibrium, and you could learn a great deal of lessons from life. ‘One who is not frivolous is no youth’, but as the time has passed there were some things that I want to leave behind, stuff that I did not manage to leave behind before. This time, taking steps in the right direction, along with the people who have always supported me every step of way. How many chances will you get to live your dream? You will not get an answer from anyone else but yourself. When you’re filled with hope and positive vibes, your dream will be within your reach, and the key to this is perseverance and strong determination. Since I’ve gained popularity and support, I did not put too much thoughts on how to build my influence in a positive direction, and I had placed too much focus on how to refine myself in my capacity as a rapper, and promoting Chinese Hip-Hop to the world. When I was left with time for self-reflection only, I came to the conclusion that I should have taken the initiative to shoulder some responsibilities, other than focusing on music, I shall guide my fans to do something good for the world. I appreciate acclaims and at the same time, I could stomach your slander, even if there is more vilification, I could deal with it as I’ve grown stronger since then. Leaving all the unanswered questions behind, letting go of all the people and things that I could never read clearly, I want to persevere in the thing that I work hard for till the end, we shall encounter each other in my music in future, and it would speak for me.’

Translation notes for Chapter 15 & 16

So I've been busy lazy so here's your two-in-one double whammy. We're more than halfway through the comic. I'll be posting preview pics of the print copy since people have been asking. I also have an extra copy (the original Chinese ver) and I've been tossing around the idea of a giveaway but we'll see.

Chapter 15

1. Doctor can't seem to extract Pang Xi's yuan dan

This was answered in an ask a few days ago. Basically, Pang Xi has gotten so strong, Doctor's technique won't work on him.

2. Cherish you 疼你

As someone whose first language is English and Mother Tongue is Chinese, this bit hit me like whumpf because the phrase he used "疼你" teng ni, gives the impression he'd caress Doctor, hold him gently, really just...be really tender. So it's a big difference from the wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am stuff he was doing in Chapter 8. It's less an exchange of fluids and more mushy and touchy-feely. TL;DR This part was super gay.

Chapter 16

1. Master 大师

The equivalent of calling a pastor "Father".

表示“伟大的老师”的意思，最初是对佛的尊称。后来成为德高的僧人之敬称。- Wikipedia

This refers to "Venerable teacher", originally used to refer to the Buddha. Later it was used to address the esteemed high priests. Even by people who bear no relation to him.

2. Sir 郎君

A respectful way to address someone, not all "sir"s are equal.

3. Living requires it 生活所迫

The actual phrase "生活所迫" can be broken down into "生活" living/life, and "所迫" forces. Essentially "I'm forced to in order to live" or "my livelihood depends on it". Localised, it might sound like "it's a living" but lacks the "forced" aspect.

4. Untalented old-timer 老衲不才

Old, and untalented/unskilled. He's obviously humbling himself because he is highly skilled.

5. Isn't that what we agreed upon?

谢谢啊这不是咱们之前就说好了吗

The addition of "啊" ah following the word "thanks" was untranslatable but suggested an air of dismissiveness and informality that couldn't be expressed. Localised, it might have sounded like "yeah yeah, thanks, haven't we already agreed to this?"

A better question would be, why is Doctor being dismissive? He's not a fool (in fact he's smarter than Pang Xi), but he's actually pretending to be ignorant here.

Assignment代写：Personal Narrative Essay

下面为大家整理一篇优秀的assignment代写范文- Personal Narrative Essay，供大家参考学习，这篇论文讲述了作者摆脱电子游戏的经历。初中的时候，在朋友的推荐下，作者第一次接触到电子游戏，并且很快就迷上了它。作何也喜欢通过游戏聊天和交朋友，这给了他很多以前从未有过的情感支持和归属感。后来到了高二，作者的成绩已一落千丈，在家人和老师的教导下，作者下决心放弃电子游戏，并且通过最喜欢的数学来与游戏作斗争，最终成功了。

Until high school, I considered my life to be quite smooth and uneventful. Everything proceeded as planned and expected by myself and my parents. High school became the turning point of my life because I experienced the first major bump: I played video games too much when I was entering in my high school so that I didn’t get high scores on most subjects. This marked a terrible beginning of my high school. Despite the defeat, I still got high scores on math due to my strong interest in it. My passion for mathematics became my saving grace. Through math, I gradually stopped playing video games and indulging myself in the virtual environment. Instead, I focused on my studies and my real life. This first major bump in my life all started back when I was a high school junior student in 2012.

My first contact with video game was because of the recommendation of my friends in 2012. Back then, there was this game called “Defense of the Ancients” that got very popular among us students. A lot of my friends around me were playing. I simply didn’t like the feeling of being left out. And usually some of my friends communicated with the terms in the game. As I didn't play, I usually couldn't understand what they were talking about. So, from that time on, I made up my mind to learn to play the game and got hooked quickly. Not only did the game settings and heroes intrigued me, I also loved to chat and make friends through the game, which gave me a lot of emotional support and sense of belonging that I had never felt before. As a result, I began spending more and more hours gaming.

Weeks after learning about the game, I started spending more and more hours on it. The good thing about being a junior student was that most of the materials taught in class was only an extension of the middle school stuff. This allowed me to pass the exams quite easily even though I did not spend much time on studying. However, my solid knowledge base from middle school was soon stretching thin. By the second year of my high school, my grades took a nosedive and I ranked the bottom in my high school class, an unprecedented low in my academic profile. Although I knew I needed to find a way to stop, whenever I arrived home planning to do my homework, I wanted to play more as I saw the computer. Meanwhile, I was also exposed to several other games. Playing video games became more of a compulsory habit for me than a leisure time enjoyment.

Entering the second semester, my teacher was among the first to realize that I had problems. She had always been caring about every student in her class, and she would not allow my grades to continue dropping. At the semester end of the junior year, I remember being asked to go to her office and have a chat with her. When she found out about the reason for my dropping grades, she said: “It is nice to have hobbies. However, you are too smart to allow your hobbies consume your life.” She told me that she always considered me to be a promising and bright student, because I was never among the trouble makers in the class. She expected me to sort out my problems in the following year, because the lessons were only getting more and more difficult. Without enough effort, she was worried that I could not get into a good university.

Seeing the dropping grades in spring 2013, my always liberal parents knew that they had to interfere as well. During that time, after returning home in the evening, I hurriedly ate the meal and started playing the video game. One day during the summer vacation that year, I continued until after 12 a.m. My father told me that I should go to sleep, but I just continued playing because I was too focused on the game. My father urged a few times, and it didn’t work. At nearly 1 a.m., my father was really angry and shut down my screen. In the following morning, my parents had a serious conversation with me. They threatened to confiscate my computer unless I had healthier schedules and improved my grade in the new semester.

The final decision to stop playing came from myself by the end of the summer vacation. Deep down, I knew the warnings from my parents and my teacher were right and for my own good. However, it was difficult to let go of the game because I had made so many friends. In addition to being in the game, we also had contacts in private. We had a special bond with each other and we could chat about almost anything, although we never met in real life. To my surprise, when I told them my worries about the dropping grades, they had similar opinions like my teacher and my parents did. They all suggested me to gradually stop playing games for a while at least and invest more effort in studying. By the end of junior year, seeing my math grades suffer was truly the last straw for me. Thanks to the support from my teacher, my parents, and my friends, I made up the decision not to play video games anymore, so that my real life wouldn’t turn into nothing but dullness and disappointment.

As I began year two of my high school life in September 2013, I began fighting the addiction through my favorite subject: math. Math had been my favorite subject since day one. I always find the numbers, shapes, and figures in math fascinating. In order to keep myself alarmed about what video games had done to my grades, I even created a function that recorded the intensity of my video game playing as well as my grades. Having plotted the graph with the two set of entries, a huge decline appeared in the graph as I first realized the damage of gaming. I continued plotting my grade changes in the following semesters as a form of motivation. My goal was to plot a rising curve by putting in all my efforts into studying.

In order to further reduce the temptation of gaming, I persuaded myself to sell my laptop and focused on improving my grades. I used the money to buy more books about math, physics and English, as they were the subjects that I was interested in the most. In addition to paying attention to my teachers in class, I also took extra classes to make up for the slack in year one. These efforts paid off as my grades began rising to satisfying levels. To my biggest satisfaction, my math grade remained among the top 5 in class. Interestingly, I found the similar joy in studying like I did in video games. Just like how my friends in gaming supported and guided me, my friends in class offered me their help as well. They were always there when I encountered a problem, and I was there to help them with math as well. My teachers and parents seemed delighted about my change as well.

In the spring of 2014, I joined my high school basketball club to enrich my leisure life. In addition to improving grades, I discovered a range of new hobbies as well. Basketball is among them. I had been playing basketball occasionally since middle school, until video games attracted most of my attention. Basketball served as a great distraction from the temptation to play more games. Through basketball, I experienced the importance of teamwork and friendship. Again, this experience created similar feelings like when I was playing DOTA. Unconsciously, my life was experiencing a major transition. I had much more regular schedules than year one. I work up and went to bed early every day, attended regular basketball trainings, and paid full attention in class. During the weekends, I found myself to go out more to the movies or the library, instead of locking myself in front of the computer screen for the entire day.

In the senior high school year, I could finally say with confidence that I said goodbye to playing video games for good. I obtained quite good scores on many subjects in the final year after changing the habit of playing video games. I always remember how my teacher warned me about the distinction between healthy hobbies and unhealthy indulgence. I consider this experience a valuable lesson for my life. Just like the old say of not putting all the eggs into one basket, out life is way too important to put into one basket as well. Focusing too much on one activities may bring temporary pleasure. However, it makes life extremely imbalanced and fragile. This is why I like to fill my days with different types of activities nowadays. In the future, I will explore more possibilities with my life and enrich it as much as I can.

#LiRongHao #李荣浩 weibo update: Little Dome, I finally came. Three and a half years ago, the first time I drove down to the Little Dome parking lot. I was nervous and about to spit it out. When I was on the stage, everyone in the world asked who is this person. Three and a half years later I come here to do my own personal concert. Feeling very complicated, may be mixed with touched, emotional, happy. Remember the sum of all this stuff. It was coincidental that today is the anniversary of my fourth anniversary, and it all makes me excited. Some people say that this year must do something on the Internet then you can really have something. Maybe I’m a bumpkin. I do not think so, I like the feeling of pragmatism, I like to stand and singing on every stage I dream. Shouting, playing the piano, just now I am in front of ten thousand people running until sweat and will collapse soon. It makes me very practical, very peace of mind, and finally thank my girlfriend Rainie Yang. This is ideal to continue, the next stop is London. I am Li Ronghao.

小巨蛋 我终于来了 三年半以前 我第一次坐车下到小巨蛋停车场 我紧张到快要吐出来 我上台的时候这个世界每一个人都在问 这个人是谁 三年半以后的今天我再来到这里办自己的个人演唱会 感觉很复杂 可���夹杂了 感动 感慨 开心 回忆这一切的东西的总和 很巧的是今天也是我出道四周年的纪念日 这一切都巧的让我兴奋 有人说这年头要在网上有所作为才是真的有作为 可能我是个老土 我不这么认为 我喜欢踏踏实实的感觉 我喜欢站在每一个我梦寐以求的舞台上唱歌 呐喊 弹琴 刚刚我在一万一前人面前奔跑流汗到快虚脱 这让我很踏实 很安心 最后谢谢我的女朋友杨丞琳 有理想还在继续 下一站伦敦 我是李荣浩

Rainie Yang replied: Although singing was on the way, the sudden move made my face deformation! But I am very happy! Can be a mysterious guest is my pleasure, you're welcome ❤ . 雖然演唱途中，突如其來的舉動讓我的臉變形了！但我很開心！能夠擔任神秘嘉賓是我的榮幸，不謝❤

15 With one small gesture 15 不经意间的举动 15 bú jīng yì jiān de jǔ dòng

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friend tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives. 当我还在上高一时，有一天，我看到我们班的一个孩子正步行回家。他叫凯尔。他似乎背着所有的书。我心想：“为什么有人在周五就把所有的书都带回家呢？他肯定是个书呆子。”我的周末计划得非常详细（先是派对，在第二天下午和我的朋友踢足球）。因此我耸了耸肩，走开了。正走着，我看到一帮孩子朝他跑去。他们追上他，把他所有的书都从怀里扔到地上并把他绊倒，结果他摔在污泥里，眼镜也被打飞了，我看到它落在离他10英尺远的草地上。他抬起头时，我看到他眼里极度悲伤的表情。因此，我慢步向他跑过去。在他爬着���找眼镜时，我看到了他眼中的泪水。 我把眼镜递给他，说道：“那些家伙都是些蠢蛋，他们真该遭到报应。” dāng wǒ hái zài shàng gāo yī shí ，yǒu yī tiān ，wǒ kàn dào wǒ men bān de yī gè hái zǐ zhèng bù háng huí jiā 。tā jiào kǎi ěr 。tā sì hū bèi zhe suǒ yǒu de shū 。wǒ xīn xiǎng ：“wéi shí me yǒu rén zài zhōu wǔ jiù bǎ suǒ yǒu de shū dōu dài huí jiā ne ？tā kěn dìng shì gè shū dāi zǐ 。”wǒ de zhōu mò jì huá dé fēi cháng xiáng xì （xiān shì pài duì ，zài dì èr tiān xià wǔ hé wǒ de péng yǒu tī zú qiú ）。yīn cǐ wǒ sǒng le sǒng jiān ，zǒu kāi le 。zhèng zǒu zhe ，wǒ kàn dào yī bāng hái zǐ cháo tā pǎo qù 。tā men zhuī shàng tā ，bǎ tā suǒ yǒu de shū dōu cóng huái lǐ rēng dào dì shàng bìng bǎ tā bàn dǎo ，jié guǒ tā shuāi zài wū ní lǐ ，yǎn jìng yě bèi dǎ fēi le ，wǒ kàn dào tā luò zài lí tā 10yīng chǐ yuǎn de cǎo dì shàng 。tā tái qǐ tóu shí ，wǒ kàn dào tā yǎn lǐ jí dù bēi shāng de biǎo qíng 。yīn cǐ ，wǒ màn bù xiàng tā pǎo guò qù 。zài tā pá zhe xún zhǎo yǎn jìng shí ，wǒ kàn dào le tā yǎn zhōng de lèi shuǐ 。 wǒ bǎ yǎn jìng dì gěi tā ，shuō dào ：“nà xiē jiā huǒ dōu shì xiē chǔn dàn ，tā men zhēn gāi zāo dào bào yīng 。”

He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. 他看了看我，说：“嗨，谢谢了！”笑容在他脸上展现。正是这样的笑显示出了真正的感激。我帮他捡起书，问他住在哪里。原来他住得离我很近。于是我就问他，怎么以前我从没有见过他呢，他说在来这所学校以前他上的是私立学校。 tā kàn le kàn wǒ ，shuō ：“hēi ，xiè xiè le ！”xiào róng zài tā liǎn shàng zhǎn xiàn 。zhèng shì zhè yàng de xiào xiǎn shì chū le zhēn zhèng de gǎn jī 。wǒ bāng tā jiǎn qǐ shū ，wèn tā zhù zài nǎ lǐ 。yuán lái tā zhù dé lí wǒ hěn jìn 。yú shì wǒ jiù wèn tā ，zěn me yǐ qián wǒ cóng méi yǒu jiàn guò tā ne ，tā shuō zài lái zhè suǒ xué xiào yǐ qián tā shàng de shì sī lì xué xiào 。

We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. The more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him.Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Dim boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books. 我们一路聊着回家，我帮他拿着书。他原来竟是一位非常讨人喜欢的孩子，我问他是否周六想跟我及我的朋友一起踢足球。他答应了。对凯尔了解得越多，我越是喜欢他。我的朋友也都这么认为。到了周一早晨，凯尔又要背上那个巨大的书包了。我制止他，说：“傻孩子，你每天背这么一大堆书，想练就一身强壮的肌肉呀！”他只是笑，并把一半书都递给了我。 wǒ men yī lù liáo zhe huí jiā ，wǒ bāng tā ná zhe shū 。tā yuán lái jìng shì yī wèi fēi cháng tǎo rén xǐ huān de hái zǐ ，wǒ wèn tā shì fǒu zhōu liù xiǎng gēn wǒ jí wǒ de péng yǒu yī qǐ tī zú qiú 。tā dá yīng le 。duì kǎi ěr le jiě dé yuè duō ，wǒ yuè shì xǐ huān tā 。wǒ de péng yǒu yě dōu zhè me rèn wéi 。dào le zhōu yī zǎo chén ，kǎi ěr yòu yào bèi shàng nà gè jù dà de shū bāo le 。wǒ zhì zhǐ tā ，shuō ：“shǎ hái zǐ ，nǐ měi tiān bèi zhè me yī dà duī shū ，xiǎng liàn jiù yī shēn qiáng zhuàng de jī ròu ya ！”tā zhī shì xiào ，bìng bǎ yī bàn shū dōu dì gěi le wǒ 。

Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. 接下来的四年里，凯尔和我成为最好的朋友。到了高年级后，我们开始考虑上大学的事。凯尔决定去乔治敦，而我要去杜克。我知道我们永远都是朋友，距离决不会成为问题。 jiē xià lái de sì nián lǐ ，kǎi ěr hé wǒ chéng wéi zuì hǎo de péng yǒu 。dào le gāo nián jí hòu ，wǒ men kāi shǐ kǎo lǜ shàng dà xué de shì 。kǎi ěr jué dìng qù qiáo zhì dūn ，ér wǒ yào qù dù kè 。wǒ zhī dào wǒ men yǒng yuǎn dōu shì péng yǒu ，jù lí jué bú huì chéng wéi wèn tí 。

Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak. 凯尔是我们班致告别词的学生代表。 我总是取笑他是一个书呆子。��必须为毕业准备一个演讲。我很庆幸不是我要站在那儿演讲。 kǎi ěr shì wǒ men bān zhì gào bié cí de xué shēng dài biǎo 。 wǒ zǒng shì qǔ xiào tā shì yī gè shū dāi zǐ 。tā bì xū wéi bì yè zhǔn bèi yī gè yǎn jiǎng 。wǒ hěn qìng xìng bú shì wǒ yào zhàn zài nà ér yǎn jiǎng 。

Graduation day, I saw Kyle.. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him! Boy, sometimes I was jealous. 毕业日来临了——我看到了凯尔，他看起来帅极了。他是那些在高中真正把握住自己的人之一。他的约会比我还要多，几乎所有的女孩都喜欢他。 天哪，有时候我都有些嫉妒。 bì yè rì lái lín le ——wǒ kàn dào le kǎi ěr ，tā kàn qǐ lái shuài jí le 。tā shì nà xiē zài gāo zhōng zhēn zhèng bǎ wò zhù zì jǐ de rén zhī yī 。tā de yuē huì bǐ wǒ hái yào duō ，jǐ hū suǒ yǒu de nǚ hái dōu xǐ huān tā 。 tiān nǎ ，yǒu shí hòu wǒ dōu yǒu xiē jí dù 。

Today was one of those days. I can see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled."Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach.... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give him or her. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." 今天就是这样。我能看出他对于演讲有些紧张。因此，我拍了拍他的后背，说：“嗨，大小伙子，你会很出色的！”他看了看我，带着那样的表情（真正出于感激的那种），笑了。“谢谢，”他说。开始演讲时，他清了清喉咙，开始说：“毕业的时候，你应该感谢那些帮助你度过最困难时期的人。你的父母、老师、兄弟姐妹、也许还有教练……但主要是你的朋友。我在这儿要告诉你们，做别人的朋友是你能给予他们的最好礼物。我要给你们讲一个故事。”我不敢置信地望着我的朋友，他讲的就是我们第一天相遇的故事。他本来打算要在那个周末自杀，��谈到自己如何把课桌收拾干净，把他所有的东西都带回家，这样就不用妈妈以后再收拾了。他直直地看着我，给了我一个笑容。“谢天谢地，我获救了。我的朋友阻止了我去做那不堪设想的事情。” jīn tiān jiù shì zhè yàng 。wǒ néng kàn chū tā duì yú yǎn jiǎng yǒu xiē jǐn zhāng 。yīn cǐ ，wǒ pāi le pāi tā de hòu bèi ，shuō ：“hēi ，dà xiǎo huǒ zǐ ，nǐ huì hěn chū sè de ！”tā kàn le kàn wǒ ，dài zhe nà yàng de biǎo qíng （zhēn zhèng chū yú gǎn jī de nà zhǒng ），xiào le 。“xiè xiè ，”tā shuō 。kāi shǐ yǎn jiǎng shí ，tā qīng le qīng hóu lóng ，kāi shǐ shuō ：“bì yè de shí hòu ，nǐ yīng gāi gǎn xiè nà xiē bāng zhù nǐ dù guò zuì kùn nán shí qī de rén 。nǐ de fù mǔ 、lǎo shī 、xiōng dì jiě mèi 、yě xǔ hái yǒu jiāo liàn ……dàn zhǔ yào shì nǐ de péng yǒu 。wǒ zài zhè ér yào gào sù nǐ men ，zuò bié rén de péng yǒu shì nǐ néng gěi yǔ tā men de zuì hǎo lǐ wù 。wǒ yào gěi nǐ men jiǎng yī gè gù shì 。”wǒ bú gǎn zhì xìn dì wàng zhe wǒ de péng yǒu ，tā jiǎng de jiù shì wǒ men dì yī tiān xiàng yù de gù shì 。tā běn lái dǎ suàn yào zài nà gè zhōu mò zì shā ，tā tán dào zì jǐ rú hé bǎ kè zhuō shōu shí gàn jìng ，bǎ tā suǒ yǒu de dōng xī dōu dài huí jiā ，zhè yàng jiù bú yòng mā mā yǐ hòu zài shōu shí le 。tā zhí zhí dì kàn zhe wǒ ，gěi le wǒ yī gè xiào róng 。“xiè tiān xiè dì ，wǒ huò jiù le 。wǒ de péng yǒu zǔ zhǐ le wǒ qù zuò nà bú kān shè xiǎng de shì qíng 。”

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. 当这位帅气的、受欢迎的男孩告诉我们有关他的最脆弱的时刻时，我听到人群中都深吸了一口气。我看到他的爸爸妈妈都看着我，带着同样感激的微笑。直到那时我才意识到它的深刻。 dāng zhè wèi shuài qì de 、shòu huān yíng de nán hái gào sù wǒ men yǒu guān tā de zuì cuì ruò de shí kè shí ，wǒ tīng dào rén qún zhōng dōu shēn xī le yī kǒu qì 。wǒ kàn dào tā de bà bà mā mā dōu kàn zhe wǒ ，dài zhe tóng yàng gǎn jī de wēi xiào 。zhí dào nà shí wǒ cái yì shí dào tā de shēn kè 。

Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. 决不要低估你的行动的力量，一个简单的举止也许会改变人的一生，无论是好是坏。 jué bú yào dī gū nǐ de háng dòng de lì liàng ，yī gè jiǎn dān de jǔ zhǐ yě xǔ huì gǎi biàn rén de yī shēng ，wú lùn shì hǎo shì huài 。

About the cancelled ‘Exalted March’, the expansion of DA II

From Mike Laidlaw:

Okay, folks have some questions about the Exalted March cancelled expansion for DAII. So…

First off? Why did we cancel it? Easy to assume it was “the reaction” to DAII, but not so! It was the move to Frostbite.

We had an opportunity to do so at the same time, but knew as it would be the first time that engine did “RPG stuff” we knew it would be hard

As most everything in making games, it certainly was challenging. Great engine, but took tons of time. Had we tried to do both EM ….

… and the Frostbite transition, both would have suffered a lot, esp. from lack of engineering folks.

So @BioMarkDarrah made the call to stop development on EM and go all in on what would become DAI.

I’m trying to remember which of the two was jokingly code named “Project Nugstorm.”

Mark has a rule that codenames should be ridiculous enough that you don’t get attached to them and call the final product that codename.

In this goal, we were VERY successful. Various orgs around EA wrote concerned letters asking what the hell it was ;)

So anyway! Exalted March didn’t make it too far past concept. The idea, however, was that it followed the red lyrium chicanery of DAII with

The Chantry becoming VERY UPSET while various aspects of the qunari started to make moves on the turbulent Free Marches.

And this it fell to Hawke to stop things from going to hell (again) while working with Starkhaven and the pirates of the Armada.

I recall fondly that for the big first panel we did at PAX west (prime back then) we all had shirts with missing letters.

You know… like hang man. Because the story would start at…yeah, the Hanged Man.

I still have mine. The missing letters spell out Estwatch, which is where the Felicisima Armada missions were based.

The Internet, as it does, had guessed all of the locations within minutes of the panel starting. You guys rule ;)

Beyond that, there were some really interesting stories to tell, and a chance to learn more about Sebastian’s family.

But as it stood, I think shutting it down was the right call to focus on the engine change.

One last anecdote: our marketing liaison at the time was -certain- our PAX panel would get no people.

9:00 at night, basement room (though big! Held 900). But you folks proved him wrong. We had to turn hundred away.

And let me tell you. After parts of DAII’s “feedback cycle” that meant a LOT to me. And then we all sang Mark happy birthday. So good.

I’m pretty sure that experience was why Mark and I were so committed to a big gameplay demo for DAI at PAX. A way to say thank you.

And that’s my story! Thanks for reading along. /endMarch

DA2有个被取消的资料片，���“崇高远征”（Exalted March）。为啥它被取消呢？群众很容易猜测那是由于2代的反响，但其实不是。那是因为我们要把未来的开发转移到寒霜引擎。我们有机会同时做这两件事，但那是寒霜第一次做RPG，因此很困难。如果要试着同时做资料片和引擎开发，那会两头不讨好，尤其是工程师人手不足。

于是达拉老爷就叫停了资料片，全力开发审判的原型。我不知道能不能记起来这两件事哪一个的代号才是“兔猪风暴项目”。达拉老爷的规矩是，代号名必须足够胡扯，好让你不会被洗脑结果把最后的成品叫成那个代号。在这一点来说，我们很成功。EA有关的各种组织纷纷发来贺电问这是个什么玩意。

不管怎么说，崇高远征其实没有在概念阶段以后继续多久。原本的想法，是接着2代的红利瑞姆阴谋。教会变得非常失落，而库纳利的各方面人马都开始在动荡的自由境兴风作浪。于是（又）该轮到霍克来阻止这一切了。他要和斯塔克海文以及Armada海盗合作。我深情地回想起在PAX西展会的第一个大分会上我们都穿着印有缺失字母词组的T恤。就像……“hang man”，因为故事将开展于……（Hanged Man）。我还保留着我那一件。补上字母后是Estwatch，那是Felicisima Armada任务的基地。分会开始几分钟后，网上就全都猜出来了。你们这帮人真给力。除了那些，还有一些着实有趣的故事要讲，还有机会深入了解塞巴斯蒂安的家庭。但就当时来看，我认为取消它而专注开发引擎是正确的。

最后一件轶闻：当时我们的市场部伙伴确信PAX不会有人去我们那，因为是晚上9点在地下室（不过很大，能容纳900人）。但你们这帮家伙证明他错了。我们不得不把上百人关在外面。让我告诉你，2代的几个“反馈”周期对我意味深长，在那之后我们给达拉老爷唱了生日歌，爽。我十分确定那次的经历导致达拉老爷和我决定在PAX放出一个大型的审判玩法展示。以此感谢你们。这就是我的故事，感谢阅读。

I can explain about Sandal I specifically told the writers that if he was in #DAI then "it was a thing" and he would be in all DA Forever
