    Risin’ like a Phoenix from its ashes?

    Risin’ like a Phoenix from its ashes?

                                        -inspired by a wired interview

     

    Here I got an ancient story that strived from an old Egypt folk myth, which has been passin’ down from generation to generation for centuries.It was sort of miraculous cos it was enclosed by lots of glorious elements .that is the legend of Phoenix,maybe you now understand what I am talking about,yeah.it’s something about rebornin’,rising .

    the Phoenix,a kind of bird of happiness ,it can be used to represent not only the eternity or the happiness,but the miracle.it was said that the Phoenix can be a eternal bird for its ash’s existence in the desert. Every 500 years the Phoenix can fly to the air of the Egyptain desert and burn themselves completely,and after 200 years later, A new Phoenix would be bound to rise from the spot where the Phoenix used burn herself .In which there exist a piece of its old body ash.it was invertible and destinated to happen.it’s so regual that it keep its tradition for thousands of thousands of thousands years. which makes them can never be dead.that’s the real eternity,just like God.if you ever read something in the Bible Book,you may have no difficulty in understanding what I am talking about,of course ,God’s philosophery is to pursuit of eternity.

    The mentioned above can be the extension for my interview story ,now I think it is time I got started with my today’s interview,I guess that you are curious about my Phoenix Legend ,and wanna ask me what’s the connection between my interview and the Legend of Phoenix,keeping scrolling your mouse middle button right now you can find the answer ;-P

    The interview is sponsored by a agency named “xi’an international university  of trading ”,the whole interview was arranged by two so-called “teachers”,a middle–aged man and a middle-aged madam .just looks like teachers anyway,wheather or not?true or false ?i don’t know.I’m not God .

    well ,it’s time for my spectacular performance in the interview , to my big surprise,the two interviewers ask for everybody read out a paragraph which picked up from a to test ours spoken English.but ,whatever,I don’t care,come on,man ,I was gonna yell it out at that time.  

    to be honest ,I am good at oral English and translation.however ,so I was try my best to express myself in from of them by showing off my standarded spoken English ,in reality ,I loathe reading the essay or a piece of dialogue aloud. I prefer to make conversation with English-speaking countries’  pals to practice my oral English .i bet that it was definitely a shortcut on my way to learning English.i finished it up with a fluent spoken English and besed on that ,two so-called interviewers were absolutely conquered by me eventually ,this is the imitation and simulation of American movies dialogue in scripts,also I can contribute my brilliant success to my delligence and fortitude in my spare time. thanks to all the hardworking that I paid for,lots of thanks to I ,myself !i told myself at that moment in scilence by mum the word”it is done,I am in!God favor me now,God surely visit me now!”

    Do not congratulate on me immediately,cos though I do not fail during this interview, I am not sure about this so-called company, I got little specific info about its background,no detailed address,history,photoes ,customers,purcedures of trade interchange and exchange anyway except for its full name.it’s a company which located in Beijing,nobody else can tell me something more about it,I ‘ve ever Googled it on the internet but unfortunately I got nothing to find in the searching engine,by default that means this is a unregistered company,word came that it is a large corporation that be in charging of importing and exporting goods. Maybe it is only a fake name that made up by this agency for the sake of deprive me of a little money,it is really some kind of intermedia for me,obviously,the interviers and interviees got same goal of life-the money.Actually I gotta admit that I belong to some sort of person who is frequently doubt about anything suspicious or worth doubting.i guess it worth.cos everybody should shoulder the responsibility for himself.what do you think ?on the other hand ,I must got a paradox idea in my mind,I wish I could got the eyes to tell the good and evil stuff on the earth .   

       However,The former one is a kind of populary perspective, while the latter one is just my faith.in my humble opinion. let me tell you what I believe,I never believe something like miracle and prophets or whatever until that things is proablely going to happen to me.Aapperantly.things seems a little different in the near future. for a long time ,I was being suspicious of the miracle,cos I don’t believe it , additionally, I am not a regligous man as well.i’ve got a bad feeling about this incidence,but I have no choice,I have to take a gamble for there are no updates.I am afraid that I would be cheated anyway.that’s the worst things I’ve ever seen.may God be with me.

                美国的黑人社会中的帮派问题经常地在绕舌歌曲中被讨论,自然也有许多与帮派相关的黑话会常在绕舌歌中出现.

                Uncle L - 指LL Cool J,一个黑人社会中家喻户晓的饶舌歌手。

    Talking about its  Pronunciation :

                如前所述,饶舌歌手在用字上因连音的出现而简化了拼字,用字也修简了不少。如最常见的,就是把er结尾的字母改成单一的"a"如最为黑人垢病的字眼******(**)被简化成*****,另一字mother****a也被简化成mutha****a,此外如player一字,也改成了playa,只要字尾是er的,都可照此一语法改成a。此外,如ks 或 cks结尾的文字,也以一个x代替,因为ks(cks)和x的发音相同, 如thanks改成thanx,checks(现金)也改成chex,此用法也成为定则。o的用法也很特色,如Love改成了Luv,nothing改成了nuthin', 之前说到的字mother****er改变的mutha****a也合此文法。此外,像字中的s,常改成了z,如cause改成了kuz,easy改成了EZ,都有所变化了。而有二文法已成为不只黑人使用,也要成为通行全美的通则了,即如going to改成了gonna, want to改成了wanna。此外,如out of改成了outta,kind of改成了kinda,sort of改成了sorta,已成一新英文文法。而如re或e此种在快速演唱下几乎听不到的字,都被省略了,如more成了mo(如黑人电影move money, 即缩写成mo money),for改成了fo,或用数字"4"(音同)取代."ing"之中"g"的省略,也成了全美通用的文法,如nothing改成了nuthin',
    comming改成了commin'等,只要是ing进行式就可以省略g。而有些字,因为说唱的关系,发音也改变了,如through一字,gh不发音是众人皆知的,而th的发音为"θ",但在饶舌歌中,它发成了"t",因此字被减化成thru,而发音和true一字的发音相同,而nothing的th的发音也同此文法,由"θ"改发成"t"音。在拼字上简化成wit,但发音仍为/WIθ/,为一例外。 顺便一提,有些饶舌歌手抓到快言快语的好处,把一大串的字都串在一起,写在专辑上,感觉专辑名称或歌名特别的炫,但实际上,念起来还是一样的。如Digital Underground的歌曲Wussup with The LUV,即是What's up with The Love的实体,字体虽改变,但发音仍相同.  以上只是简单的简介,但却是黑人用字上出现频率最高的用字,以下再为读者介绍一些饶舌歌中出现的字眼,并介绍其用法,而有些用字用语可用「俗字」「鄙字」或「俚语」来称呼,但却是最实用的黑人用字。
           首先说到的,当然是曝光率最高的字眼Fuck,这个字不只在饶舌歌中出现,在全美,此字已成为生活用字,被广泛使用。Fuck一字如世人所知的,
    它有「与人性交」的用法,当然也是一个非常鄙俗的用字,常用来怒骂对方的行为或为人,且Fuck一字也可代表任何物,任何动物,也可当成加强用语使用,只要可以骂人,都合Fuck的文法。而且Fuck也自成一套,形成了一堆词组,介绍如下:最常见的词组即是I don't give a ****,表示I don't care之意;** about/around则表示不信任某人或某事;**** off同get out滚蛋之意;至于Don't **** sb up,则是Let me alone,别烦我的意思;而**** sth up则有把事搞砸之意。当然,如前所述,Fuck此字可以代替任何动词、名词,只要对方听得懂即可。而Fucking有一用法则同于究竟(on earth)或是咒骂人的词组(the hell),即「the****」,为强调或者加强语气用法,如What the **** you gonna do?或How the Fuck sho' I  fly?有时可和shit一字通用,但少用为妙。比如在美国电影中,我们可以很清楚的听的出来这些话从各个大碗的嘴里蹦出来,例如:what are you fucking talking about ?!(你他妈的究竟在胡扯什么呢?) 以及"no  fucking way!(哦,该死,没门!)"都是比较常用的
           此外,另一个可和Fuck一字媲美的字眼则是shit。此字是"粪""屎"之意, 有时甚至可指毒品(海洛英),用法和Fuck一样,也是随使用者的嗜好而定
    ,但多为名词用法,用以怒骂某人的不争气。和Fuck一样的,shit一字常成发语词,有点像古文的"夫""唉",但口气强烈了点。如shit  !what's up, ya?或是骂人的用词you lil (little) son of  bitch shit!很粗俗的用法,或「吃我一记」「给我记得」的用语eat my shit!只要是在饶舌歌中出现此字眼,就没有好事。当然,shit此字被使 用的情形,有时是指向好的事物,而用法就如同代名词一般。如What Da shit!这个shit曾在饶舌歌中被指为毒品,也曾指为女孩。Yo!My Big Shit!此语的shit则指的是Baby,可见shit的用法很自由!而最令人熟悉的 shit用法,一定是Bullshit了!胡说是Bull shit!空口说白话也是Bull shit!曾有笑话说「哪里的大便(shit)最多?」答案是「美国人的嘴里!」可见美国人对此字的偏好已成国际笑话了!
