翻譯 Translation
Xiaoshi: Mark, see? The way you hold a Chinese brush and a ballpoint pen are different.
Mark: Forefinger, middle finger …holding the pen like this makes it difficult to write.
Xiaoshi: That’s why we need to practice! You can follow these “zitie” (copybook) first.
Mark: “Zitie?” Do you want me to write the characters according to this copybook?
Xiaoshi: Yes, these are copybooks by famous calligraphers.
Mark: Xiaoshi, I want to learn that snakelike calligraphy style, it’s beautiful.
Xiaoshi: Oh, that’s “cursive script,” but we should start learning from regular script.
Mark: OK! I will practice holding the brush and writing regular script first.
