Translated by Shu

Quotes of birds:

I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs. ~Joseph Addison, The Spectator, 1712

I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn. ~Henry David Thoreau

Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art. ~Izaak Walton

Have you ever observed a humming-bird moving about in an aerial dance among the flowers – a living prismatic gem…. it is a creature of such fairy-like loveliness as to mock all description. ~W.H. Hudson, Green Mansions

The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing. ~Eric Berne

God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into its nest. ~J.G. Holland

One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Seagulls… slim yachts of the element. ~Robinson Jeffers

Half the modern drugs could well be thrown out the window, except that the birds might eat them. ~Martin H. Fischer

God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages. ~Jacques Deval, Afin de vivre bel et bien

Use the talents you possess – for the woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except for the best. ~Henry Van Dyke

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson, “The Eagle”

There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before. ~Robert Lynd, The Blue Lion and Other Essays

A Robin Redbreast in a cage
Puts all Heaven in a Rage.
~William Blake, Auguries of Innocence

My favorite weather is bird-chirping weather. ~Terri Guillemets

“Hear! hear!” screamed the jay from a neighboring tree, where I had heard a tittering for some time, “winter has a concentrated and nutty kernel, if you know where to look for it.” ~Henry David Thoreau, 28 November 1858 journal entry

When nature made the blue-bird she wished to propitiate both the sky and the earth, so she gave him the color of the one on his back and the hue of the other on his breast. ~John Burroughs

A wonderful bird is the pelican
His bill will hold more than his belican.
He can take in his beak
Food enough for a week,
But I’m damned if I see how the helican.
~Dixon Lanier Merritt

We like to praise birds for flying. But how much of it is actually flying, and how much of it is just sort of coasting from the previous flap? ~Jack Handey, Deeper Thoughts: All New, All Crispy

A flock of geese leave their lake and take wing, turning to poems in the sky. ~Dr. SunWolf, professorsunwolf.com

Happier of happy though I be, like them I cannot take possession of the sky, mount with a thoughtless impulse, and wheel there, one of a mighty multitude whose way and motion is a harmony and dance magnificent. ~William Wordsworth

Birds of a feather flock together and crap on your car. ~Author Unknown

There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away. ~Henry Ward Beecher

Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn’t people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them? ~Rose F. Kennedy

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song. ~Chinese Proverb

Eating is essential in Chinese culture. There is a proverb goes

literally it means “people regard eating as heaven.” So, it can be generally used to refer to “Bread is the staff of life ” or “People view food as the primary need.” I hope you can learn it well, and use it well later on.

5 就这样 jiù zhèyàng means just like this. 就 jiù means exactly, 这样 zhèyàng means this way.

6 Grammar:

1. 除了….以外 chúle ….yǐwài structure.
除了 chúle means besides / in addition to /
以外 yǐwài means beyond what has already mentioned.
Together, 除了….以外 structure means besides or in addition to.

The structure usually goes like:
除了 object 以外, subject 还/也 verb clause
chúle object yǐwài , subject hái /yě verb clause

For example, in this lesson, we learn:

[audio:http://www.chinesetolearn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/listen-to7.mp3|titles=listen to]
顾客:除了鸡肉汉堡以外,我还想一分沙拉。
gùkè : chúle jīròu hànbǎo yǐwài , Wǒ hái xiǎng Yī fēn shālā .
Customer: Beside chicken hamburger, I still want one unit of salad.

The same structure usage, such as:
除了苹果以外,我也想吃一些草莓。
chúle píngguǒ yǐwài , wǒ yě xiǎng chī yī xiē cǎoméi .
Besides apples, I also would like to eat some strawberries.

除了学中文以外,我还学法文。
chúle xué Zhōngwén yǐwài , Wǒ hái xué Fǎwén .
Besides learning Chinese, I also learn French.

On these usages, we are mentioning things that we have, and then besides those, we still want more. This condition we use — 除了 object 以外, subject 还/也 verb clause

So, this can be considered as positive + positive (have this, also have that)

However, if we are talking about we are not good at one things, but the other things we all can do, then we will use —
除了 object 以外, subject 都 verb clause
chúle object yǐwài , subject dōu verb clause

[audio:http://www.chinesetolearn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/listen-to8.mp3|titles=listen to]
除了周杰伦的歌,其他的歌我都会唱。
Chúle Zhōu Jiélún de gē,qítā de gē wǒ dūhuì chàng.
Except Jay Chou’s song, other songs I all can sing.
