Chinese Lyrics in Translation: My Purpose

Welcome all,

If you have reached this blog, it is likely that you did so through my other site. If that is the case then you know that I spend a majority of my conscious hours studying Chinese. Aside from studying in the formal senses, I also enjoy listening to music (esp. from the '80s and '90s). I believe that studying Chinese song lyrics can be a good way to maintain and grow a strong vocabulary, as well as challenge a learner to produce and utilize translation skills. It is for that reason that I have started this blog. Once a week I will post one of my favorite songs, as well as a rough translation for it along with romanized phonetics for pronunciation. It's a challenge for me, and could be beneficial to my readers as well.

I welcome comments both in the form of constructive criticism and discussion (both in English and in Chinese). Translations can be controversial and I welcome any info that could make allow me to see things in a different light, or help me improve my understanding of Chinese language and culture.

With that said, let the fun begin! Stay tuned for my first Chinese Lyric in Translation: 歌手:张学友 - 歌曲: 心如刀割
