I am not writing this entry from \u9694\u79bb<\/strong> (quarantine) but rather in a country that has had its first \u6848\u5b50<\/strong> (case) of the notorious \u732a\u6d41\u611f<\/strong> (swine flu).\u00a0 I have seen jokes about the \u732a\u4ed4\u6d41\u611f<\/strong> (“piglet” flu), and read up on the regular \u6d41\u611f<\/strong> (flu) itself.\u00a0 What’s interesting is that type A here is called \u7532\u578b<\/strong> (type A, see below).\u00a0 In Chinese, people don’t use A and B (of course not) but rather \u7532<\/strong>, \u4e59<\/strong>, \u4e19<\/strong> etc to denote markers.\u00a0 On your next \u822a\u73ed<\/strong> (flight), don’t be surprised if everyone around you is wearing a \u53e3\u7f69<\/strong> (mask).\u00a0 Whenever I see people wearing those, I usually think “is it me they’re worried about or should I be worried about them?”\u00a0 Has anyone ever been quarantined before?<\/p>\n Words<\/p>\n \u9694\u79bbge2li2 – quarantine Hello readers!
