[Talk] translating...

[phoebe1588 (insomniac)]

Man..... translating is such a hard job....

I'm suppose to be translating some research paper from Chinese to English for

one of my professors.....but it is soo hard....

I think that my brain has stopped functioning.

So... now... I'm procrastinating.....help...


Sometimes, it is easy to translate; but.. today, I dunno whats wrong with me..

I can't seem to pin-point the exact Chinese meaning in English...

I wish I could do something to get rid of this state of "blankness"......

sigh~~~
