Monica really didn’t want to believe me that I couldn’t speak a word in Indonesian when I went there last time in two thousand and nineteen. Am I not a trustworthy guy? Did I give her a reason to doubt? In fact, I learned everything I know in the last 12 months.

A

Monica bener-bener nggak mau percaya sama gue kalau gue nggak bisa ngomong sepatah kata pun dalam bahasa Indonesia pas gue ke sana terakhir kali tahun dua ribu sembilan belas. Emangnya gue bukan cowok yang bisa dipercaya? Emang gue kasih alasan buat dia ragu? Padahal gue belajar semuanya yang gue tahu dalam dua belas bulan terakhir.

Q

(zh)
I started learning Chinese in July 2022, and now I am probably between Level 4 and Level 5 of the Chinese Proficiency Test. But I still have a lot to learn. After all, Chinese is so complicated, learning it is really a marathon, and it takes a lot of time and effort.

Why are you reacting so strongly? Why are you so surprised?

A

我从 2022 年 7 月开始学中文,现在大概在汉语水平考试四级到五级之间吧。不过我还有很多要学的,毕竟中文这么复杂,学起来真的是一场马拉松,需要花很多时间和努力
- Wǒ cóng 2022 nián 7 yuè kāishǐ xué zhōngwén, xiànzài dàgài zài hànyǔ shuǐpíng kǎoshì sì jí dào wǔ jí zhī jiān ba. Búguò wǒ hái yǒu hěnduō yào xué de, bìjìng zhōngwén zhème fùzá, xué qǐlái zhēn de shì yī chǎng mǎlāsōng, xūyào huā hěnduō shíjiān hé nǔlì

你怎么这么大反应啊?你为什么这么惊讶
- Nǐ zěnme zhème dà fǎnyìng a? Nǐ wèishéme zhème jīngyà

  • 汉语水平考试 - hànyǔ shuǐpíng kǎoshì - Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK)
  • 级 - jí - level, grade, step, rank
  • 之间 - zhījiān - between, among
  • 毕竟 - bìjìng - after all
  • 复杂 - fùzá - complex
  • 学起来 - xué qǐlái - to learn (indicating a state of learning)
  • 一场 - yī chǎng - a (used as a measure word for events like “marathon”)
  • 马拉松 - mǎlāsōng - marathon

So I also use some flashcard apps, both for efficient study and to track my progress. Do you know what a flashcard app is?

I’m not that great, so why do I deserve so much praise? You are much better than me, there is really no need to praise me, it’s too embarrassing

A

所以我还用一些记忆卡片的应用,既为了高效学习,也为了追踪自己的进度。一个记忆卡片的应用,你知道是什么吗?

Oh yeah girl, I know the language of crepes, foie gras, frogs and snails! It’s like I was born with a baguette in my hand and a beret on my head. But shh, it’s a secret between us, okay?

(zh)
Of course I’m speaking Mongolian now, can’t you see? How come you can speak Mongolian?

A

Ah ouais meuf, bien sûr je maîtrise la langue des crêpes, du foie gras, des grenouilles et des escargots! C’est comme si j’étais né avec une baguette à la main et un béret sur la tête. Mais chut, c’est un secret entre nous, d’accord?

Q

(sp)
With every lyric I sing to you, I embroider it
They try to imitate me, but they only hit bottom
K-R-O-N-N-O, if you don’t understand what I say it means you’re deaf
I don’t know why you plagiarize, if I rap for you
You’ll think I’m doing magic for you, but you’re wrong
Try to stop me, I’m a bazooka
I only stop when I hit your troop

A

Con cada letra que te canto, yo lo bordo
Intentan imitarme, pero solo tocan fondo
K-R-O-N-N-O, si no entiendes lo que digo significa que estás sordo
No sé por qué plagias, si yo te rapeo
Pensarás que te hago magia, pero te equivocas
Trata de pararme, yo soy un bazooka
Yo solo me paro cuando impacto con tu tropa

Q

(fr) Davodka
You recognize the impact of the dude who poses,
who talks about a dog’s life,
to give ones paw,
you think you’re the best,
so here’s the bruise,
I’m sending you to the skies because I’ve scouted the basement.
Very far from the magic of Disney
All the cops cook you because there you are made like a rat
Sounds like aural rape
Suffice to say I just stepped into the arena like a king

A

tu reconnais l’impact du keumè qui pose,
qui parle d’une vie de chien,
à s’en donner la patte,
tu te prends pour un crack ,
donc v’la l’ecchymose,
Je t’envoie vers les cieux car j’ai rodé la cave
Très loin de la magie de Disney
Tous les flics te cuisinent parce que là t’es fait comme un rat
Ça sonne comme un viol auditif
Autant dire que je viens de rentrer dans l’arène comme un roi

Q

(fr) Davodka
Life is a fight when you tumble there are no low blows,
It’s a plot you understood it just a verse and the shot goes off
So don’t think the damage is minimizing,
We eliminate you, it’s DVK who rushes into the pile to better push his limits
Let’s attack, stop chatting
Heaven will be praised when the chickens get shot,
It runs without letting go, assembly line work, I’m not in good health, drink to mine,
Cops pick you up for acting tough
Money taunts you, it’s the spirit of war
Me, I don’t care about the stone, I’ve done the wall so much
That I remain unmoved when someone throws stones at me,
I smash the dams even when I lack clean air
We hide in the dark, stuck in my lair
It works my brain, looking at the moon
And my rage unfolds to hoist my banner

A

La vie est un combat quand on déboule y’a pas d’coups bas,
C’est un complot tu l’as compris juste un couplet et le coup part
Alors crois pas que les dégâts se minimisent,
On t’élimine, c’est DVK qui fonce dans le tas pour mieux repousser ses limites
Passons à l’attaque, arrêtons de bavarder
Le ciel será loué quand les poulets se feront canarder,
Ça cavale sans lâcher, travail à la chaîne, j’ai pas la santé, trinquez à la mienne,
Les flics te ramassent à force de faire le dur,
Le fric te nargue, c’est le nerf de la guerre
Moi je m’en fous de la caillasse, j’ai tellement fait le mur
Que je reste de marbre quand on me jette la pierre,
Je défonce les barrages même en manquant d’air pur
On se cache dans le noir, coincé dans ma tanière
Ça travaille mes méninges, le regard vers la lune
Et ma rage se dévoile pour hisser ma bannière

Q

(sp)
I shoot, I shoot, I kill my enemy
I do not turn, but I look
I chase you by sight
I don’t even stop a vampire
I burn him with my pyro
I always say what I think
But I never retire
Cousin, I’m like a sapphire
My rap is fine gold
I hone it and define it how I want
I hit urgently I hurt you
Every topic that I write to you, I do not delirium
I dodge bullets with my style
contagious like a virus

A

(Kronno Zomber Vs Zarcort)

Tiro, tiro, mato a mi enemigo
No me giro, pero miro
Por la mira te persigo
No me para ni un vampiro
Yo le quemo con mi piro
Siempre digo lo que pienso
Pero nunca me retiro, primo

soy como un zafiro
Mi rap es oro fino
Lo afino y lo defino como quiero
Pego urgiendo te lastimo
Cada tema que te escribo, no delirio
Esquivo balas con mi estilo
Contagioso como un virus

Q

(ru) Oxxxymiron - Город под подошвой

You know, my whole rap, in short, is about the fact that
For years now, a city under the sole
Uphill, when it’s going well; then downhill, when it’s sick
I’m not like Gulliver, but still a city under the sole

A

Ты знаешь, Весь мой рэп, если коротко, про то, что
Уж который год который город под подошвой
В гору, когда прёт; потом под гору, когда тошно
Я не то что Гулливер, но всё же город под подошвой
- Ty znayesh’, Ves’ moy rep, yesli korotko, pro to, chto
Uzh kotoryy god kotoryy gorod pod podoshvoy V goru, kogda prot; potom pod goru, kogda toshno YA ne to chto Gulliver, no vso zhe gorod pod podoshvoy

Q

(ru) Oxxxymiron - Город под подошвой

A city under the sole, a city under the sole
Traffic lights, state duties, fees and customs
I don’t know whether this path is fordable or to the bottom
You live under the heel, I have a city under the sole

A

Город под подошвой, город под подошвой
Светофоры, госпошлины, сборы и таможни
Я не знаю, вброд или на дно эта дорожка
Ты живёшь под каблуком, у меня город под подошвой
- Gorod pod podoshvoy, gorod pod podoshvoy
Svetofory, gosposhliny, sbory i tamozhni
Ya ne znayu, vbrod ili na dno eta dorozhka
Ty zhivosh’ pod kablukom, u menya gorod pod podoshvoy

Is it true that the French have a technique for making love that’s called “The slippery frog reaches heaven”? Oh really, you don’t know that? That’s strange! What about “The Spread Baguette and the Mysterious Croque-Monsieur”, that one is supposed to be one of the most guarded French secrets, is it really as powerful as they say? I met those French girls that told me about this, do you think I got the names wrong? Which techniques do you think they were talking about?

I don’t know anything about it, for that reason I’m asking you, I’m just really curious

A

C’est vrai que les Français ont une technique pour faire l’amour qui s’appelle ‘La Grenouille Glissante Atteint le Paradis’ ? Ah bon, tu connais pas ? C’est bizarre ça ! Et ‘La Baguette Écartée et le Croque-Monsieur Mystérieux’, celle-là, c’est censé être un des secrets les mieux gardés des Français, c’est vraiment aussi puissant qu’on dit ? J’ai rencontré des meufs françaises qui m’ont parlé de ça, tu crois que je me suis gouré dans les noms ? Tu penses qu’elles parlaient de quelles techniques ?

Je n’en sais rien, c’est pour ça que je te le demande, je suis juste très curieux

可惜我还没去过中国大陆,不过我去过两次台湾,我去了台北、台中和垦丁。你去过台湾吗?你真的应该去看看,那里食物超级好吃,人也特别友好。我上次去的时候,我中文烂得不行,所以希望能尽快再去一趟,跟当地人练习说话!

How come you speak Chinese so fluently? Did you actually live in China, and for how long? Did you study there as well? That’s amazing! Did you have a Chinese girlfriend when you were there? China seems like an interesting country, and I really want to travel it one day, but there are a few things that scare me: the smog in the big cities, and eating chicken feet and intestines!

I really admire that! That really impressed me.

A

你的中文怎么这么流利?你真的在中国住过吗,待了多久?你也在那里学习了吗?太厉害了!你在那里的时候有中国女朋友吗?中国看起来是个很有趣的国家,我真想有一天去旅游,但是有几件事我挺害怕的:大城市的雾霾,还有吃鸡爪和肠子!

Maybe I didn’t tell the truth before, but now I promise you, I’ll be honest.

Maybe you could teach me some slang. For example, what slang do you use when you talk to your friends?

I feel like every time I study, it’s like I’m climbing a mountain that I can never reach the top. I really love and hate it.

It’s interesting, I never really practice Portuguese actively, but this year I exclusively read in Portuguese every evening for about 15 minutes before going to bed. This helps me to maintain and expand my vocabulary. It really depends, right now I’m reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami translated from Japanese into your language, does that sound weird?

É interessante, eu nunca pratico português de maneira ativa, mas este ano leio exclusivamente em português todas as noites por cerca de 15 minutos antes de ir dormir.

I’m a little disappointed. I originally/really was hoping you could explain to me what actually was going on. I thought it was probably a common thing when you go to Chinatown.

I’m quite confused too, it’s hard to explain! Do you think there’s some weird magic going on?

Suddenly, an old Chinese man with a long white beard and thick white eyebrows appeared in front of me.

So I live in North America, right? Did you know that most big cities on this continent usually have a place called Chinatown? In those neighborhoods, you can usually find many Chinese stores and restaurants, and the architectural style all has Chinese characteristics, you know that, right?

The actors also said stupid things like, “If you want to cry, stand on your head and your tears won’t fall.” It’s unbearable.

Q

To me, an ideal and perfect personality should be spontaneous, outgoing, honest, confident, optimistic, independent, full of creativity , yet tenacious and responsible.

There is one language that is particularly important to me, and that is Asia’s Mandarin Chinese. I have already been learning it for a 2 years, but it is insanely difficult! I feel like I am climbing a mountain that I can never reach the top every time I learn it. I really love and hate it.

A

对我来说,一个理想和完美的性格应该是随性、外向、诚实、自信、乐观、独立、创意十足,同时又很坚韧和负责。

对我来说,有一门语言特别重要,就是亚洲的普通话。我已经学了两年了,可是它难得要命!我感觉自己每次学都像在爬一座永远爬不到顶的山,真的又爱又恨。
