中文里有很多词，其实并没有和英文翻得对照起来，但我们会发现有的词，被宣传部门稍加利用，足以起到破坏大众逻辑和判断能力的作用。
排名不分先后：
1，country， state-》国家
英文里这是两个完全不同意义的单词，但在中文里确是一个词，这完美的符合在中国党即政府即国家即是你母亲的宣传政策，很多所谓愤青看到别人反共就是在反华，看到别人帮你骂骂政府就相在骂他自己，概念完全一团浆糊。
2，traditional chinese medicine -》中药
这个词应该是英文翻中文的，老外都是明白人了，翻得很清楚，强调的是traditional，中文里为什么叫中药而不是传统药呢？ 无非是利用“中药”和“西药”的对立关系偷换“传统药”和“现代药”的对立关系，再加上中国的一点就燃的爱国主义和遗毒至今的封建迷信，中医药这种文化历史遗产也就有了巨大的医用市场。
这和西式民主这种说法有异曲同工之妙，巧妙的将封建和现代用东方和西方的关系偷换过来了。
3，drug -》毒品
英文里毒有专门的单词poison, drug就是drug为什么会被翻成毒品呢，中国人对drug的无知我觉得跟这个翻译有很大的关系，极大的误导了人民群众，中国也就成了一个该吸的“毒”不吸，不该吸的“毒”猛吸的奇怪国家。
4,Ecstasy-> 摇头丸
说到了drug,不得不说到Ecstasy,我认识的中国人里不管有没有试过Ecstasy的，对之都没有太好的印象，吃过ecstasy的中国人对它的评价不是那么的高可以解释为中国本身就没有CLUB和DANCE的文化和氛围，吃Ecstasy就相戴手套手淫一样没有了快感，而没吃过的人也对它很反感，除了中共的宣传外，我认为这个翻译也有很大问题，在一个乌七八黑烟熏缭绕的地方傻不拉几的不停摇头，多蠢的事情啊。。。一个“摇头”，把ecstasy本身字面的美，更把它背后巨大的快感，音乐，艺术，舞蹈和时尚文化全都掩盖起来了。
5，appreciate-感谢
中文里很难找到一个词能和appreciate完全对应起来，也许这也是我们常常粗暴对待艺术和美的原因？
其它的日后再写。。。

5 Reasons Chinese Goverment Should NOT Legalize Marijuana
"Drug" is translated to "poison" in Chinese when it comes to recreational use. Not only the drugs themselves, but also any drug related discussions and debates are strictly forbidden in China.
The propaganda against drug use is so strong that most mainland Chinese not only have no idea what drug is but also try to avoid any drug related discussion, anyway, only stupid people want to talk about "eating poison".
So it's interesting to think about what will happen if the government legalize some relative harmless drugs, like, marijuana~?
of course they will never do it. I list my top 5 reasons.
#5 People will be so pissed off because
The government put almost no restrictions on tobacco and alcohol use,no matter what's your age, no matter where you are... this is the most important reason why there are 300million people addicted to tobacco, and more than 1million people die from alcohol related disease or accidents every year. anyone has dinnered with local government officials knows most of them like forcing people to drink Chinese wine with 52% ABV,they are just so crazy about cigarettes and alcohol. but at the same time the government runs a ridiculous propaganda against other drugs and heavily punish any people commit an offense. what a weird country...
#4 Why to have problems with lots of money
The tobacco industry brings billions of billions of money to the government every year and shit loads of people work for the state owned tobacco company. and the economy of several provinces heavily rely on tobacco and alcohol. so at least they don't want any drugs can be easily home made...
#3 The opium war...
Every Chinese starts learning "You must love Communist party" kinda things since first grade, and almost all of those things start with the "shame" during Opium war...so the government links their legal status to what they had done to get Chinese out of that miserable "drug" life 100 years ago...
#2 subculture
"Every culture and subculture gets the drugs that it deserves," writes Douglas Rushkoff in his forward to Tim Pilcher's <>, In fact, almost every major cultural movement in history can be traced back to the chemicals it did or did not have. Obviously the CCP doesn't like culture, so they lead the Culture Revolution and then set up a Ministry of Culture to ban all the culture.
#1 It organizes people
Anything that can organizes people are strictly forbidden in China, like facebook and twitter something are seriously blocked by GFW and even cellphone texts are censored nowadays.
how many people are prone to get addicted to drugs in China?imagine the on line computer game addicts in China is 10 times more than the rest of the world combined. How much more fun it is to get stoned than on line computer games?
Imagine again a China's 420 smoke out day, that will be the first thing the government can not control in China

5 Reasons Chinese Government Should Legalize Marijuana
Also, there are 5 Reasons they should legalize marijuana
#5 Save animals in the world
Legalizing marijuana will definitely trigger lots of debate about drugs the first time in China's history, some people will eventually know how to treat drugs with a scientific attitude, so there will be less people eating weird things in China eventually, you know , someone believe eating tiger's penis helps on bed, eating turtle helps living longer...animals are going to be all in zoos or on dinner tables in this way...
#4 tax income
Again, if even the on line computer game addicts are 10 times more than the rest of the world combined, how many pot addicts there can be in China?although the state owned cigarette company would see a huge profit cut, they can make more from issuing a drug tax.
#3 Hemp for Paper making
China is the most polluted country in the world, and people still want more from their land. Hemp has arguably been proven one of the best plant for forest and its high efficiency for paper making. This is exactly what we need.
#2 Better for themselves...
There is a smoking culture in government offices all over China if you don't smoke you're seen as a different guy and will never get promoted. so if you have to smoke something , why not marijuana,which has been proven less harmful than tobacco no matter in terms of dependence or physics harm.
#1 Relax People
There are tens of thousands of protests in China each year, most of them become serious riots eventually. if the CCP wants making more money , they have to keep fucking Chinese people, how can you calm down all those miserable lads? Get them stoned!

Top10 Tourist Must-See&Do in Beijing
OK, I decide to share my top 10 list about what to see&do in Beijing, I believe it beats all the other travel guides about Beijing on the internet.
北京旅游十大景点：
#10 Drinking in Summer Palace：
One of the few places in Beijing to escape the mass(during weekdays!!),it's so beautiful that I've visited it for more than ten times. When you rent a boat and stay in the centre of Kunming lake you can feel so peace that you can't believe you're in an insanely packed city.
And of course, you're in a country without any actually laws about alcohol use, just bring your own chilled beer and enjoy yourself.
Why you have to bring alcohol? because this is what the emperor did 100 years ago, or how could he ever bother to build such a lake:-)

#9 Get in Propaganda for free
A club owner once told me: the only reason for most club's success is people don't have choices. and Propaganda gives you the perfect example, crappy music, fake booze,people keep shaking fucking dice other than dancing, but it's pratically the only club in that area with a population more than 3million...so it's one of the few nightclubs in Beijing that you actually need to quene to get in especailly on weekends.
And the point about this spot is if you're white people you can get in completely free even on important date, while all the Chinese men need to pay a 100rmb note,and what will surprise you is all the Chinese looks perfectly fine about it.What's going on here? how can people tolerate this place in Beijing? I really don't know. people keep asking me do i think we chinese are too nationlisitc? not really , just check out Propaganda...

#8 Xizhimeng Tranfer station
我每次路过西直门唯一做的事情就是骂娘，这是一帮多么脑C，不负责，恶心的人搞出来的东西，这也是我们的下场，对城市建设没有一点发言权，只能由着一帮SB乱来。
听说他们现在又打算把它改造点好走点，不知道，反正自从上次我三上三下花了十五分钟才走完13到2的路后，我就决定再不走那过受那气了。。。
and also, you can check out one of the most complicate overpass bridges in the world,if you don't think so , try to make a right turn when you're heading east!
#7 Dancing in 798
798 is already a must see in Beijing. and what's more interesting is the regular dancing party over there, especailly the annual intro electronic music festival, it's just the best dancing festival in China,
#6 Visit Tangjialin&Shangfangcun
If you want to know the other side of China which the media in China almost never give a shit , then just go check out tangjialin and shangfangcun .
Tangjialin is where many of the college graduates live, or not live, survive. but they're still way too far from the most fucked people in China. yes, if you think people live in this kind of place is already so fucked, they can tell you at least they still have a way too much better life than some other chinese...
and when it comes to Shangfangcun, it might be the whole city. although there're certain places you can go to see all the petitioners at one time, you're more likely to be scared away by all the police cars on your way.
#5 Provincal representative offices
"Beijing’s Maison Boulud is arguably China’s best western restaurant, Shanghai offers far better international options, especially lower priced spots. But if you’re looking for all styles of Chinese food, you’ll do no better than coming to Beijing" from A Moderm LeiFeng.
Every single Provices and cities in China have their representative office in Beijing, most of them provide the best food from their area, it makes beijing the best city when it comes to Chinese food.
my faverite: 川办，新疆巴州办！！
#4 Partying at Great Wall
Great wall is just a fucking old wall. There are really not many points to be there. But in term of partying, it's the best place in China. it has a vibe you can find nowhere else in the world.I think you can imagine...

My top 11 Beijing Bars&Clubs
#1, zub: 我永远的最爱，第一次真正感觉到音乐舞蹈放纵快感的地方，当年爱上五道口的原因之一。关了很久了。。。不过好相从那里出来的syndicate还一直活跃在北京。
#2, Fubar，京城最不显眼的酒吧之一，但环境轻松，酒水超正，每次代外地朋友去都能惊呀到对方，今年被XX评为北京酒吧LIST No1,我真是不能同意更多了。
#3, GTBanana ， 典型的中国式恶俗CLUB， 喜欢它只是因为是我第一次在北京去CLUB的地方，还有paul van dyk 曾在那里代给过我一个难忘的Party
#4, D22, 在这个曾经几乎就在我楼下的小酒吧里，第一次认识了当代中国的地下音乐，虽然中国的文化管制必定永远不会放开，但还是希望这些地下音乐能成为中国的地上音乐。
#5, tango,也是个恶俗之地，只是常有超大Party, infected mushroom去过那里，很难忘记。
#6,ten yuan bar,在NLGX最喜欢的地方，每次路过定会进去喝一杯，没什么原因，就是喜欢这样的地方。
#7, white rabbit，曾经酒后最信赖的地方，现在重新开在了三里屯，听说还是一样的
#8, propaganda, 住在五道口时最常去的地方，酒水，音乐一无是处，但架不住当时离家近啊。。。
#9, danger doyle, paddyoshea, 曾经在limerick连续一个月一天至少5pint Guinness,回了北京后想享受一杯黑啤的时候，也就只能去这两家了
#10, obiwan, the boat. 都在湖边河边，环境超好，音乐超好，Obiwan还有北京唯一的goa trance DJ
#11, Kai, Tun,poachers, 太多次的疯狂和烂醉的发生地。。。

Top 10 things Keep China away from a developed country
#10: "naked" KTV
The expensive "naked"KTV make the prostitutes less available to normal Chinese guys,if only the rich business man or government officials can pay for sex , you can not say China is a developed country.
#9: Japanese Porn
Every developed country has porn industry, but if the Japanese keep making decent porn, which can be easily downloaded, Chinese don't bother to make their own.
#8: Hot pot
There're too many sichuan restaurants and hot pot places in every single city of china, once you get addicted to spicy food, you'll have less requirements about food quality.
#7: Olympic medals
The Olympic achievements make Chinese feel so better when it comes to sports, but I don't think women weigh lifting or letting two people dive at the same time are real sports, even pingpong, I never know any Chinese who actually paid for a live pingpong match except Olympic ones. The fact is we don't play sports, we don't even watch sports.
#6: Cantonese pop
It's all about let cute girls singing lovely songs or pretending to be cool guys sing some "heartbreaking" songs. China needs real music.
#5: Club MIX
It's too easy to get laid even for guys as normal as myself if we try to visit clubs like MIX regularly , which are more and more like a burning cash place with lots of Chinese guys trying to flirt with girls by shaking fucking dice, so Chinese are too busy having sex that no one bothers to work harder
#4: Cigarette
It's more likely to be hit by a crashing plane than seeing a Chinese smoking marijuana on China's streets , While there are more than 350,000,000 people in China smoking cigarette everyday, so I think we need to figure out what "drug" actually means.
#3: George W Bush
This poor guy let Chinese know that democracy is not always "good", especially when you have a wrong guy as your president for some reason.
#2: Dalai Lama
This guy is so powerful that he can make all the western world have a bias on our "Great, Glory, always right" communist Party .
#1: Beer
The beer in China is so cheap even the most famous Qingdao beer is only about 3rmb/bottle, so it's too easy to get drunk and many smart guys like me know we should take this advantage, so much more time is spent on dealing with hangover than doing real works.
