ldquo花露水rdquo的英文

淘了本书，叫ChineseStuff，《中国东西》。

从开裆裤、搓澡巾、关二爷到板蓝根、华容道、三道杠、六味地黄丸......这些熟悉、平凡的中国玩意儿已经成为了时代的符号，这本书图文并茂地讲了一个个东西。像是博物馆里的说明，篇幅短，语言平实，适合做口语素材，有很多小细节还会引人会心一笑。举几个例子说明。

锦旗：Embroideredbanner

WhentheChinesewanttoexpresstheirgratitudeinthemostrespectfulmanner,theywouldpresentabannerembroideredwiththepraise.

“华佗再世，妙手回春”是这样解释的：

还记得“三好”是哪三好不？书中是这样写的：

"ThreeGood"referto"virtue,intelligenceandphysicalhealth."Itisintendedforthosewhoarebalancedinallthreerespects.Butinreality,mostparentsandteachersonlyfocusonthesecondstandard,orthescoresofexaminations.
