Click link below and then let Google translate pronounce the Chinese version. http://translate.google.nl/#au … %BA%8B%E3%80%82 The English translation is: Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den In a stone den was a poet Shi, who was a lion addict, and had resolved to eat ten. He often went to the market to look for lions. At ten o’clock, ten lions had just arrived at the market. At that time, Shi had just arrived at the market. He saw those ten lions, and using his trusty arrows, caused the ten lions to die. He brought the corpses of the ten lions to the stone den. The stone den was damp. He asked his servants to wipe it. After the stone den was wiped, he tried to eat those ten lions. When he ate, he realized that these ten lions were in fact ten stone lion corpses. Try to explain this matter.

Amazingly that appears to be the case, I found this information on Wikipedia, but it seems true, given the way Google translate pronounces it

It's not pronounced the same. The transliteration in pinyin is Shī shì shí shī shǐ Shíshì shī shì shī shì, shì shī, shì shí shí shī. Shì shíshí shì shì shì shī. Shí shí, shì shí shī shì shì. Shì shí, shì shī shì shì shì. Shìshì shì shí shī, shì shǐ shì, shǐ shì shí shī shì shì. Shì shi shì shí shī shī, shì shíshì. Shíshì shī, shì shǐ shì shì shíshì. Shíshì shì, shì shǐ shì shí shì shí shī. Shí shí, shǐ shi shì shíshī, shí shí shí shī shī. Shì shì shì shì. Note that there is a difference between ī ì í ǐ. Chinese comes in 4 different tones. We cannot understand this and we mix 'm all up. When you try to be polite and say "Thank you very much" in Chinese, you might actually say "Don't cry, big sister". This is very hilarious for Chinese people. At least that's what I've been told by our guide in Beijing. Btw Rince, I noticed your health trouble. What's going on? ____________ Kwakkel |

Wow I didn't even know ī and ǐ exist. But would someone speaking the language understand it when someone reads it aloud? @Dennis: I have a severe heart problem and an eye problem.
