The name "daisy" is a corruption of "day's eye", because the whole head closes at night and opens in the morning.

There was a splendid array of food on the table. They sat before an array of microphones and cameras.

The painter has managed to capture every nuance of the woman's expression. Linguists explore the nuances of language.

His arrival caused quite a commotion. He looked up to see what all the commotion was about.
"Would you like some more wine?" "No thanks, I've had plenty." Don't grab at the balloons, children - there are plenty for everyone.

Friend from Yantai China-(English*한글)

Hello eveyone! how was your day?
It`s already late/dark (out).<It`s already late here, dark night.>
(In English, you don`t say 'deep night?' ,right? ^^; Haha , ^^; Haha, but in Korean we say "깊은 밤입니다." )
* It can be used, but it's kind of poetic
Yesterday I didn`t/couldn`t write a journal entry, because I was very tired due to writing three entries in Chinese at the same time.
So this time I will write an entry in English about my friend from China.
I have a friend who came from Yantai in China a few days ago, but she is not a Chinese, she is a Korean.
She has been living in YanTai for a long time, and I went to her house 4~5 times already.
Umm.... probably she has been living there almost 10 years?<She has probably been living there almost 10 years?>
Wa.... haaa..... Time is flying! really fast!
It` s too fast for me to catch.? Can you catch it?
By the way, during the summer vocation she came to Seoul with her son.
Tomorrow I will meet her and another friend..
In fact she (the friend from Yantai) and the other friend are my university friends.
<In fact I met both those friends at university.>
Just a moment ago, we talked on the phone and decided to go to the movies.
we will watch that movie ‘인셉션Inception’'.
As soon as I finish my class, I will go to the movie theater near her house.
<As soon as finish my class, I will go to the movie theater that's near her house.>
bye~ good night!

여러분 모두 안녕하세요?오늘은 어땠어요?
벌써 늦은/어두운 밤입니다.
어제는 중국어 일기를 동시에 세 편이나 쓰느라 너무 피곤하여, 영어 일기를 쓰지 못했습니다.
그래서 오늘은 중국 옌타이에서 온 친구에 대해서 영어로 일기를 써 보겠습니다.
몇일전 중국 옌타이에서 온 친구가 있습니다. 그러나 그녀는 중국인이 아니고 한국인입니다.
그녀는 벌써 오래전부터 옌타이에 살았습니다. 그리고 나는 4~5번은 그 친구 엔타이 집에 가 본적이 있습니다.
음.....아마....거기에서 산지 거의 한 10년은 되어 가는 듯 합니다.
와....아........시간이 정말 빠르네요!내가 잡기에는 너무빠릅니다!
하하!!
여러분은 잡을 수 있으세요?
그건 그렇고, 여름방학이라 친구는 아들과 한국에 다니러 왔습니다.
내일은 그 친구와 또 다른 한 친구를 함께 만날 겁니다.
사실 그 두 친구는 나의 대학 동기입니다.
조금전에 나는 친구와 통화를 해서 내일 영화를 보러 가기로 했습니다. 영화‘인셉션Inception’' 을 보기로 했습니다.

내일 수업이 끝나는 대로 내가 그 친구 집 근처 극장으로 가기로 했습니다.
안녕히 주무세요!

～[human`s 'imagination'' (inception)]<English★Korean>～～～～
Jul 31st 2010 02:26

Yes!
Today in the late afternoon, I met my two good friends at university, and we watched the movie ‘inception’.

By accident I read a summary of the plot /(or the gist of the plot) of that movie in the newspaper a few days ago.
When I read it I wondered/felt some strange 'what`s the dream in a dream?' 'sharing a dream?'

Today when I watched that movie, suddenly it occurred to me to ask where are the limits for the spread of human imagination?
<Today when I watched that movie, suddenly one question occurred to me: where can 'human`s 'imagination'' spread out to?>

Yes! 'imagination' it`s a super great thing, but also it is sometimes dangerous too.
As you know, this movie is based on our unconsciousness as we dream.
In fact when we are in a dream we use some kind of 'kick' to wake up.
some kind of 'kick' we used to wake up.
And also sometimes we can feel it seems like a dream in a dream,
and sometime`s we can not wake up from a dream, at that time we need help from someone to wake up.

Sure, now we can say that we are already all over our whole Earth space, we are sharing Earth space with the whole of the Earth's internet friends at the same time, like lang-8 firends, so we can say already we are free from space.

But we are not freed from time, yet.
But in that movie‘inception’, they can freely go and come through time too.
The other movie 'Avatar' will it also come true in our real human world, maybe?
There`s a possibility someday, in my opinion.
So,,,,, I don`t know what kind of a boundary line human imagination will go to.

ah~~ really really sleepy.
too sleepy to write, so I will go to bed now.
tomorrow I will come back and write it in Korean.
~bye` see you tomorrow..*.*/Have a good dream..

Waaaaa... it it possible to meet 'Leonardo Dicaprio' ?

2010. 7.31.(토요일)
안녕하세요? 이미 저녁이네요. 토요일인데도 출석이 너무 늦었지요?
그럼, 이제부터 어제 일기를 한글로 써 보겠습니다.
한글 공부 하시는 분은 한 번 읽어 보시고 궁금하신 점은 제게 다시 물어 보셔도 됩니다. ^^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~★~~~★★~~☆~~~~~~~~~~
네! 노늘 늦은 오후에 나는 두 대학동기를 만나 함께 영화'인셉션'을 보았습니다.
몇일 전 나는 우연히 신문에서 이 영화의 간단한 줄거리를 보게 되었습니다.
그 때 나는 '꿈속의 꿈?' '꿈을 함께 나눔?' 에 대해 약간 의아하게 생각했습니다.

오늘 친구와 함께 그 영화를 보면서 문득 '인간의 '상상력'은 대체 어디까지 갈 수 있는 걸까?' 갑자기 궁금해졌습니다.
네! 인간의 '상상력'은 정말 대단합니다, 한편 위험하기도 하지만요.
여러분도 아시다시피, 이 영화는 인간의 꿈속에서의 무의식을 바탕으로 합니다.
사실 우리들이 꿈을 꿀 때 어떤 '킥/자극' 에 우리들을 잠(꿈)을 깹니다.
또한 우리들은 꿈 속에서 꿈을 꾸기도 하고요.
그리고 가끔은 잠(꿈)에서 깨어 나지 못해서, 누군가가 우리를 깨워 주기를 바랍니다.

사실 이미 우리들은 현실에서 이미 지구상의 공간을 장악하고 있다고 말 할 수 있습니다.
우리들은 지구 공간을 모든 인터넷 친구들과 동시에 함께 공유하고 있습니다, 마치 우리 lang-8친구들처럼 말이지요.
그래서 우리는 이제 더 이상(any more) 공간에서 구애 받지 않고, 자유로울 수 있다고 말 할 수 있습니다.
그러나, 우리들은 아직 시간에서는 자유롭지 못합니다.
그러나 영화 인셉션에서 그들은 시간을 자유롭게 오갈 수 있습니다.

다른 영화 아바타 같은 상황이 우리 현실 인간세계에서 언젠가 실현 될 수도 있으리라 여깁니다..아마도? 제 생각에는..
그래서,,,, 나는 인간의 상상력이 어느 한계까지 이르게 될런지 정말 모르겠습니다.

아~~ 너무너무 졸려요. 너무 졸려서 쓸 수가 없습니다. 그래서 지금 자러 가야겠어요.
내일 다시 와서 한글로 쓰겠습니다.
안녕! 내일 다시 뵙겠습니다! 좋은 꿈 꾸세요....와~~아마도 '레오나르도 디카프리' 를 꿈에서 보려나?
~~~~~~~~~★~~~★★~~☆~~~~~~~

---<N.Korea's Sensitive Striker >---
▶His favorite food is bulgogi or Korean-style barbecued beef, though he hates it undercooked.
His greatest fear is getting bitten by a cockroach, and he makes it a rule to clean up his room before a game to prepare himself mentally.
He says he has a "heart of glass." Jong Tae-se, the third-generation Korean-Japanese football player who is the North Korean national team's top striker, made these revelations on the website of his J League club, Kawasaki Frontale.
Jong's strong physical features belie his sensitivity and wit.

▶Jong, who has a South Korean passport, is able to compete as part of the North Korean team because his South Korean father married an ethnic Korean woman who opted to hold neither South nor North Korean citizenship.
Jong's father, a plumber in Nagoya, wanted to send all of his children to Japanese schools, but his mother, a teacher at a pro-North Korean school in Japan, was against it.
As a result, Jong and his two siblings attend schools through university run by the pro-Pyongyang General Association of Korean Residents in Japan or Chongryon.

▶Jong went on a trip to North Korea when he was in high school and vowed to return to his "homeland" as an athlete.
When he was playing football in college, he was offered a slot on the North Korean team for the 2004 Asian Cup preliminaries.
He tried to change his South Korean citizenship to a North Korean one, but was stopped by the South's Nationality Act, which does not recognize the North as a sovereign country.
He was able to play for North Korea from 2007 after mediation by FIFA.

▶Jong has referred to himself as a "lactic acid tank." His body generates lactic acid quickly, which triggers fatigue, and compared himself humbly with Manchester United player Park Ji-sung, who is dubbed the "oxygen tank" for his stamina.
He says Park is his role model.
Jong also enjoys singing South Korean pop songs and even dances to them.
"I respect South Korea for having an open and international mindset in every aspect from the economy to sports and entertainment," he said.

▶He also admits to being a sentimental person who cried several times at the South Korean soap opera "Winter Sonata."
And he was unable to hold back his tears when the North Korean national anthem was played before the match against Brazil.
Jong says he cried because he was so happy to represent his country in an international match and to face off against such a powerful opponent.
It appears his passion for football was a more decisive factor than his loyalty to the North in his decision to to play for the reclusive country.

오늘 이 글은 제가 쓴게 아니고, 한국 신문 조선일보에서 가져 왔습니다.
여러분 중국어와 한국어 그리고 영어를 참고로 비교해 가며 읽어 보세요.

==조선일보[만물상] ==정대세의 눈물•=====오태진 수석논설위원 tjoh@chosun.com=====
입력 : 2010.06.16 23:04

좋아하는 음식은 불고기, 싫어하는 음식은 덜 익은 불고기, 행복한 순간은 불고기 먹을 때.
세상에서 가장 무서운 것은 바퀴벌레가 무는 것.
징크스는 경기 전에 방을 청소하는 것으로 마음 정리하기.
성격은 '유리로 만든 심장'….
북한 월드컵 대표팀 공격수 정대세가 소속 팀인 일본 J리그 가와사키의 홈페이지에 올려놓은 자기 프로필이다. 강인한 인상과 달리 섬세하고 위트도 있다.

▶재일동포 3세 정대세는 한국 국적을 지닌 채 북한 선수로 뛰고 있다.
그의 아버지는 한국 국적을, 어머니는 남도 북도 선택하지 않은 '조선적(籍)'을 갖고 있다.
아이치현 나고야에서 수도배관업을 하는 아버지는 2남1녀를 일본 학교에 보내려 했다.
그러나 조총련계 아이치조선초급학교 교사인 어머니가 조선학교에 입학시켜야 한다고 밀어붙였다.
정대세는 도쿄 조선대까지 16년 동안 조총련 학교에 다니며 축구를 했다.

▶정대세는 고3 때 북한에 수학여행을 갔다가 들뜬 기분에 "꼭 조국 대표가 돼 평양으로 돌아오겠습니다"라고 선언했다고 한다.
조선대 축구부에서 뛰던 그에게 2004 아시안컵 예선에 북한 대표선수로 가자는 제의가 왔다.
그는 아버지에게 물려받은 한국 국적을 북한으로 바꿔보려 했지만 북한을 국가로 인정하지 않는 국적법에 가로막혔다.
2007년 북한 여권을 발급받은 그는 국제축구연맹 유권해석까지 받은 끝에 소원을 이뤘다.

▶정대세는 자신을 '유산(乳酸)탱크'라고 말한 적이 있다.
피로를 가중시키는 젖산이 빨리 나오는 편이어서 '산소탱크' 박지성에 견줘 자기를 낮춘 말이다.
그의 우상이자 목표가 박지성이다. 정대세는 노래방에 가면 원더걸스 '텔미'를 춤까지 춰가며 부른다.
그는 "정말 한국은 경제든 스포츠든 어디든 세계에 통하는 사고방식과 힘을 갖추고 있는 나라로구나 하는 존경의 염(念)을 갖고 있다"고 했다.

▶그는 드라마 '겨울연가'를 보고 몇번이나 울었다며 '울보'라고 실토한 적도 있다.
그 '유리심장' 정대세가 어제 브라질전에 앞서 북한 국가가 연주되는 내내 눈물을 쏟았다.
'조국애'가 그리도 강한가 생각한 사람들이 많았지만 그는 "세계선수권대회에 드디어 나오게 됐고 세계 최강 팀과 맞붙게 돼 좋아서 그랬다"고 했다.
그의 북한행에는 '조국'에 대한 충성보다 축구에 대한 열정이 더 뜨겁게 작용한 게 아닌가 하는 생각이 들었다.

[世间万象]郑大世的泪水] --朝鲜日报首席评论员 吴太镇 (2010.06.17 14:06)

▶喜欢吃的食物是烤肉，不喜欢吃的食物是没熟的烤肉，最幸福的瞬间就是吃烤肉的时候。
世界上最害怕的东西是蟑螂。最倒霉的事是比赛前打扫房间。性格是“用玻璃做的心脏”。
这是北韩国家足球队前锋郑大世在其效力的日本J联赛球队川崎前锋队网站上登载的个人资料。
与外表给人带来的硬汉形象不同，他性格细腻，而且很有幽默感。

▶郑大世是旅日侨胞第三代，拥有韩国国籍的他目前为北韩国家队效力。
他的父亲拥有韩国国籍，母亲既没有选择韩国也没有选择北韩，拥有的是“朝鲜籍”。
在爱知县名古屋从事水管业的父亲原本想把两儿一女送到日本学校读书，但身为朝总联派爱知朝鲜小学教师的母亲则要求他们进入朝鲜学校读书。
直到从东京朝鲜大学毕业，郑大世在朝总联学校就读16年，同时学习踢足球。

▶据说，郑大世上高三时曾到北韩参观学习，他当时激动地宣称：“一定要成为国足队员，返回平壤。”
后来，在朝鲜大学足球队踢球的郑大世接到了代表北韩足球队参加2004年亚洲杯预选赛的邀请。
他曾想把跟随父亲获得的韩国国籍改成北韩国籍，但由于韩国国籍法不承认北韩是一个国家，所以未能如愿。2007年获得北韩护照的郑大世得到国际足联的承认，终于如愿以偿。

▶郑大世曾称自己为“乳酸罐”。
也就是说，他身体内会快速产生加重疲劳感的乳酸，这是他拿自己和“氧气罐”朴智星相比而自谦的话。
朴智星是他的偶像，同时也是他的目标。
郑大世一去练歌房就会唱Wonder Girls的《Tell Me》，而且是边跳边唱。他说：“我尊敬韩国，韩国确实在经济、体育以及其他领域拥有能在世界上融会贯通的思考方式和力量。”

▶他说自己看电视剧《冬季恋歌》时哭过好几次，还透露自己是个“爱哭的人”。
郑大世昨天在同巴西队比赛前奏北韩国歌时泪流满面。
很多人以为他是想到了对祖国的情感而落泪，但他说：“终于站在世界杯的舞台上并和世界上实力最强的对手比赛，所以高兴得流泪。”
这不禁让人觉得，他之所以代表北韩参加比赛，比起对“祖国”的忠诚，可能更重要的是他对足球的热忱。

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
