哈萨姆的决定 - The Call of Hasaam

It recently occured to me that I only know of one Chinese person who reads this - okay, 2 if you count Amanda but as far as my brain knows she's white - and apparently there are a handful of people who do check this blog from time to time. I doubt they cared too much but I'm sure being greeted by more and more gibberish heiroglyphs every time you did happen to check would have lost its appeal over the last couple months, so I will now endeavour to keep this as a bilingual blog - at least for the moment. (The problem with blogging in English is I am tempted to allow my native babble to dominate my vaguely timid and stuttery Mandarin persona and defeat the purpose of practising - this paragraph illustrates the point. The advantage is I am then faced with the challenge of TRANSLATING this paragraph, and, having said that, I slap my forehead with a resounding, suspiciously moist-sounding thud ... I'm not helping myself AT ALL at this point ...)

为什么我这么说?!哇啊,我的英文说法是奇怪得连以英文为母语的人也不总是看懂了!!!我怎么翻译?OK OK 我试一下。。。但是你不要预料我逐字地翻译,如果我的英文的意思和中文的都是差不多一样,那就行,对吗?好了,我最近意识到了,除了一个人之外,读这个博客的你们都不会中文呢?我不算Amanda是中国人,我其实觉得他是个白人。其实我以前没想象人读我没有意思的博客。。。可能是你们不在乎我用不用中文,但是我是个非常体贴的人!我知道你们跟你看不懂的汉字越来越没趣吧!所以,从现在起我在这个博客上力求用两个语言。。。问题是,我用英文的时候用复杂的句子,俚语,等等,是我的母语,当然都是太容易的。但我的中文还不是那么好,所以我不能翻译所有的那种内容。那个上面的段落证明我说得对呢?哈哈。。。我猜这个也是件好事-为了提高我的中文水平,我肯定需要向自己挑战。。。这个真的不是逐字地翻译呵呵。。。但是我翻译了所有的主点,对不对?那个最后的英文句子是太笨的!为什么我写下了那个笨的句子??!没关系,我放弃!

Just because I like white penis doesn't mean I'm white.
