Thanks, Gato. I know in several dialects, one still 食(吃)茶 rather than 喝茶. Wait, doesn't
one 吃汤?

Right. 喝 might not even exist in Shanghainese, but my Shangainiese is a bit rusty.

Up here in the north, people 喝汤 and also 喝粥.

Remember to NOT compare the 说法's of two completely different languages. In 北方语 you can
only say 喝. This is one of the bigger problems for students of Chinese as most usually want to
say eat soup but in Mandarin (not a clue about shanghai) you have to say drink.

Try not to do that type of comparison...

Alright! So, I've just finished 春风沉醉的晚上....I was a bit overzealous in my previous
excitement over this story. It seems this was, as was pointed out, sort of a clip of his life over
the span of like a week. I got hints of some exciting themes, but I got no conclusion here. What
do you guys think, what was this story about?

Showing how shitty his life was....

Didn't get much else about "what it was about" than that. Still thought it was a good short story.

Objection! (Cultural shock again!) At least, he could 坐怀不乱, like柳下惠! How about
compare him with James Bond 007, who takes ”sex for dinner, death for breakfast”.



Quote:

成语：坐怀不乱
【解释】：春秋时鲁国的柳下惠将受冻的女子裹于怀中，没有发生非礼行为�
��形容男子在两性关系方面作风正派。

Okay I can live with this just let it be noted that my comment did not entail any sort of
reference to how he lived his life, or his character through it. I simply was talking about the
circumstances....
