what do these old precepts from the bygone days of imperial china have to do with us?
那些过去帝王时代中国的陈旧概念跟我们有什么相干呢?
the bygone days have been dispersed as smoke by a light wind, or evaporate as smoke by the morning sun.
过去的日子犹如青烟,却被一阵风吹散了,如薄雾,被初阳蒸熟了。
forever i miss the bygone days when i needed to buy mochi in airport to appease colleagues and family members. at least at that time some people still felt that going to japan was really a big deal.
永远怀念要在机场扑草饼回港「扤」实同事家人把口的老日子,起码那个时代还有人认为去日本是好威的。
