- kylelibra 13y agoWhy does it randomly say "Writing matters" in English?

- nwh 13y agoJust like people in English speaking countries get things tattooed on them in Chinese, I can only imagine that the reverse is true. Things are apparently trendier if you make them sound foreign.

- eksith 13y ago"Why did you choose Confucius "endorsement" Teachers' Day" http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http://jianshu.io/p/qpmsps&act=url http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&prev=_t&... I'm not sure if that's accurate for http://jianshu.io/p/qpmsps http://jianshu.io/p/qpmsps (Any native speakers willing to do a once over?) But the other articles are similarly Sinocentric (a couple pertains to outside influences that, nonetheless, affect or has "arrived in" China in some way).
- tomflack 13y agoI'm not sure what you're asking here? The articles are sinocentric in the same manner Medium articles are typically occidental in nature.
- eksith 13y agoI was asking whether native speakers could give an overall scope of what the articles were about since one-by-one translations are hardly 100% accurate and likely to miss important subtext. I was looking for whether there was additional motivation behind the articles that didn't seem obvious at first or was it a hodgepodge the same as Medium.
- Gigablah 13y agoA closer translation would be: Why choose Confucius to "represent" Teacher's Day? It's an opinion piece on this bit of news: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/china/2013-09/06/c_132697316.htm http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/china/2013-09/06/c_1326973...
- joaor 13y agoI wonder if a serifed font makes a difference
- themodelplumber 13y agoSure it does. Similar to roman characters--you can see the green button at lower left is using a sans-serif font.
- Peteris 13y agoThe first post is on "why I studied Confucian philosophy in my undergrad". They nailed content.

- LiweiZ 13y agoContent itself is a crucial issue for Chinese readers. No matter what form it is delivered with, writing and reading are derived from what's in people's mind. Given the status of the last 100 years, things just get worse. Wish one day, we Chinese can have some kind of translator machine to read other language with way less distortion and personal flavor translation. Technology helps us, but may not in the way we thought of.
- samspenc 13y agoI betcha this one complies fully with China's strict censorship rules, which includes Falun Gong, the Tibetans and anything critical of the government... Does anyone know if Medium is blocked in China (or will soon be?)
- larryzhao 13y agoMedium is not blocked in China. Currently.
