翻譯 Translation
Xiaoshi: Mark, have you heard of Feng Shui?
Mark: Yes, I have. It’s something Taiwanese pay attention to when buying a house, right?
Xiaoshi: Yes, Taiwanese believe that the living environment can affect a person’s personality and health.
Mark: I heard from other Taiwanese friends that living near a
hospital makes it easy to get sick, is that true?
Xiaoshi: Yes, that’s right. Also, there should be sufficient lighting in the living room at home. If a room is too dark, it may affect your luck.
Mark: I agree with that. If sunlight can’t come into the living room, it can affect one’s mood.
Xiaoshi: Some people also say that you shouldn’t place knives or swords at home because they are considered weapons.
Mark: Wow! It seems like there are many things to pay attention to in Feng Shui.
Xiaoshi: Yes, you’re right. If I get the chance, I would like to study it thoroughly.
