                  上课啦,今天讲的是“东山再起”的故事。

                   The Story: Xie An from the East Jin Dynasty was talented and well-known ever since he was young. The court tried to appointed him to a position in the public offices many times, but he turned them down. He led a quiet life in East Mountain and spent his time enjoying nature and composing poems and verses with Wang Xizhi and some other poets.

                    Later, the Grand General of the Western Expedition, Huan Wen, asked him to serve as a military governor. Having no way out, Xie An accepted the post. At that time, he was over 40. When He departed for the expedition, all the civil and military officials came to see him off. Someone joked with him: "You disobeyed the court to be an official many times. We never expected you to rise again from the East Mountain." On hearing this, Xie An was very embarrassed and ashamed. After Huan Wen died, Xie An became the prime minister.

                   Usage Example (Pinyin): chen(2) mo(4) liang(2) nian(2) hou(4), ta (1) jue(2) ding(4) dong(1) shan(1) zai(4) qi(3), jian(4) li(4) yi(1) ge(4) xin(1) gong(1) si(4).(沉默两年后,他决定东山再起,成立一个新公司。)

                  Usage Example (English translation): After two years' silence, he decided to rise again from the east mountain and set up a new business.


       

    the song:     u2 - I still haven't found what I'm looking for (the Joshua Tree)

    lyrics:

    I have climbed the highest mountains
    I have run through the fields
    Only to be with you
    Only to be with you

    I have run I have crawled
    I have scaled these city walls
    Only to be with you
    But I still haven't found
    What I'm looking for
    But I still haven't found
    What I'm looking for

    I have kissed honey lips
    Felt the healing in her fingertips
    It burned like fire
    This burning desire
    I have spoke with the tongue of angels
    I have held the hand of a devil
    It was warm in the night
    I was cold as a stone
    But I still haven't found
    What I'm looking for
    But I still haven't found
    What I'm looking for

    I believe in the Kingdom Come
    Then all the colors will bleed into one
    But yes I'm still running.
    You broke the bonds
    You loosened the chains
    You carried the cross
    And my shame
    And my shame
    You know I believed it
    But I still haven't found
    What I'm looking for
    But I still haven't found
    What I'm looking for
