Indy finished Chapter one. I noticed one style issue. The Chinese generally place more emphasis on the title, while English on the name of the person.
For example,
汉灵帝刘宏腐败无能
Emperor Ling of Han,Liu Hong, was useless incompetent moronic fool
幽州太守刘焉担心自己兵少
The governor of YouZhou, Liu Yan, worried that he didn't have enough soldiers
A good style is probably
汉灵帝(Emperor Ling of Han)刘宏(Liu Hong)腐败无能
Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of Han, was useless incompetent moronic fool
幽州(YouZhou)太守(governor)刘焉(Liu Yan)担心自己兵少
Liu Yan, the governor of YouZhou, worried that he didn't have enough soldiers
My daughter has gone to a Chinese school for a few years now, and knows many Chinese characters. She just entered junior high. My job is to make sure that she spends about 10-15 minutes to listen, read, translate and record her reading in Chinese everyday. I have Penpower Chinese Expert software. It's a great tool with segmentation of sentences, onscreen dictionary and phrase dictionary, text-to-speech, voice recognition, handwriting recognition and MP3. Here we go.
