MP3: Chinese New Year Wishes in English
¶þÔÂ 10, 2010, 12:10pm
 
Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!

Recently my friend Gary asked me how to translate some popular Chinese New Year greetings into English. While we don't have standard wishes in English like we do in Chinese, here are some that are fairly close:

恭喜发财  May your life be successful!
好运常来  May good luck always follow you!
招财进宝  May treasures fill your home!
笑口常开  May your life be filled with laughter!

You can listen to male and female voice reading these English greetings here:

Happy New Year,

Steven

WOW~ !  This is nice, thank you very much for the update, Steven.
Wish you all a Very Happy Chinese Lunar New Year! and may treasures fill your homes!  Cool

And I just knew that Steven acted as Mark in 15 episodes in " WOJU ", I never wanted to watch this TV series because I don't feel like its plot. Well, I will skip to watch "WOJU" only stop at the episodes with Steven Weathers, ha ha Grin

Ha ha, thanks, Sylvia!  Grin  It's hard for me to understand the whole series without English sub-titles (even for my lines which I sometimes memorized but didn't totally understand them), so I started watching around episode 11, too!

Steven (Mark)
 Cool

Thanks for the reply Steven, hope you had a wonderful Chinese Lunar new year!


That's cool we will watched the same episodes, ha ha. btw, as far as I know that your Chinese is not too bad   Tongue  
I will let you know my comments (must be only compliments) after I watched all the 11 episodes with Mark.

May good luck always follow you.


Regards,
Sylvia

Finally I watched "WOJU".
In order to understand MARK completely, eventually I chose to watch all the episodes of WOJU, OMG!

Mark is a very very cute role in WOJU, he represents the westerners who live in China particularly in a city like Shanghai, Steven acted it vividly and I guess real Steven must be like Mark somewhat, haha

Well, let me talk about WOJU, I just like the role of MARK, do not really like WOJU, too stressed and absolutized.

Thanks for the kind words, Sylvia! I enjoyed playing that role even though it was a challenge for me to learn the Chinese lines. I'm thankful for the patience of the director and production team for helping me make it through all the filming.

I hope you like this year's performance of DuLaLa's Promotion where I will play DuLaLa's boss. Look for it sometime this year!
