Instead, people speak of ^MH-^. or ~$$L$E ^/~J$lÁ!&áfc (tán lian'ai) when a man and a woman start going out. The goal is invariably marriage. Teachers and parents usually discourage young people from forming romantic relationships at a young age.

Some traditionalists have suggested -tl ^ (qTxT), the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, as a Chinese equivalent of Valentine's Day. The idea is based on an old legend about a cowherd (-^T Niulang) and a heavenly weaving maiden (,^"^C/^K^&T, ZhTnu), who fall in love with each other and have two beautiful children. However, fate intervenes. According to one version of the story, the Queen Mother of the West recalls the Weaver Girl from the earth. The lovers are cruelly separated by the Milky Way, created by the Queen Mother with a flourish of her gold hairpin. A flock of magpies takes pity on the distraught Cowherd and Weaver Girl and forms a bridge, thus allowing them to be reunited. The Queen Mother is moved too, and agrees to let the lovers and their children come together as a family once a year on the bridge of magpies, on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. Interestingly enough, that day used to be called Girls' Day yf ), when girls and young women prayed to the Weaver Girl to have some of her dexterity and cleverness.

Then he heard that spinach was good for you. After that he started to eat spinach.) f --^ 6. Set Phrases > _______,_■■ There are many set expressions in Chinese. Their form is often fixed and they are not meant to be taken literally. In other words, their overall meaning is not the sum of the individual words. For this reason, it's best to memorize the whole expression. These set expressions are typically composed of four characters, and many of them are idioms, e.g., $L ^-7^-/--f-SZ~/^~ or -$?^-%SLV9 from this lesson. Set phrases function like words, but often in limited grammatical contexts. For instance, '4$L--<^V ~f~--Srf*~ is adjectival, but it's most often used as a complement. For more examples, see C of Words 6c Phrases. , which functions like a verb, can be used as a predicate, but it can't have objects or complements.

Lin Xuemei asked her about it several times yesterday. Only then did Lisa say that she had had a fight with Zhang Tianming. When Xuemei first met Lisa, she heard Lisa say that she and Zhang Tianming were classmates in high school. Tianming is a good guy with a very outgoing personality, and he is a good student, too. In terms of interests, she and Tianming are not quite the same. Tianming is a sports fan. Whenever there is a ball game on TV, he has to watch it. Lisa is a fan of pop music. Whenever there is a concert, she will go and listen. Lisa says although they have different interests and hobbies they have always gotten along well. Lin Xuemei racked her brains, but she still couldn't figure out what had really happened between the two of them. Is it because their cultural backgrounds are different? Or is it because Tianming has a new girlfriend? This evening Lin Xuemei happens to have some free time, so she goes looking for Lisa. Xuemei: What's with you and Tianming? Lisa: I don't want to talk about it. T simply don't matter to him. Xuemei: What's really wrong? Lisa: Two weeks ago he and I were supposed to go to a concert. Who knew? He spent the night playing on his computer. He completely forgot about the concert. How could I have not gotten upset? Xuemei: Don't be upset anymore. Ke Lin is often like that, too. Whenever he starts watching a ball game, he forgets about everything else. Lesson 6- % ffl£L-km&. 213 Lisa: There was something even more maddening. Last Saturday I wanted him to go with me to the movies. He happily agreed. The film was at 8:00. I waited till 8:15. He still hadn't arrived. I called his cell phone. Only then did I find out that he had gone to another cinema. These were all small matters, but they made me really upset. I think I really don't matter to him. I wish I could just break up with him. Xuemei: Oh, so that's what happened. How could Tianming be such a scatterbrain? No wonder you're not happy. What happened afterwards? Lisa: When he saw me later, he kept apologizing to me. He seemed sincerely sorry and made me feel that he genuinely cared about me. Xuemei: That's right. Don't be upset any more. Being scatterbrained and not caring about you are two different things. Have you heard that there is a Chinese saying "couples don't hold grudges when they quarrel'*? Haha, when you stop fighting, you may well go your separate ways. Lisa: You and Ke Lin seem very good together. You don't seem to fight a lot. Xuemei: Actually, Ke Lin is not much different from Tianming. He often forgets this or that and always leaves things behind. One minute he forgets my birthday, the next he can't find his keys, or something else... He sometimes really has me worried. Lisa: Really? Turns out Ke Lin has his moments of carelessness. Oh yes, does your family know you have a boyfriend? Xuemei: No..., I haven't told them yet.
