  　　情景对话:   　　A: Hi! Last time you told me you were practicing Chinese calligraphy. How's it going?   　　B: Well, I've already moved from the regular 锝擄絻锝掞綁锝愶綌 to the semi-cursive style.   　　A: Really? Unbelievable! Semi-cursive style can be a lot more difficult than the regular 锝擄絻锝掞綁锝愶綌.   　　B: Yeah. For some characters, even the order of strokes have changed in different styles. Sometimes the same character looks like two different ones to me as the style changes.   　　A: Ha-ha. That can be true. Especially in cursive style,words are hard to recognize, let alone they look different.   　　B: Have you ever practiced calligraphy?   　　A: Yes. I used to trace characters printed in copy books when I was very young.   　　B: I've heard that there are classes teaching handwriting in many primary schools and that students are required towrite in facsimile.   　　A: Right. Hm, you've got a scroll here. Is it written by a noted calligrapher?   　　B: I have no idea.   　　A: Well, there's probably the signature inscribed on it. Let me See。   　　参考译文:   　　A: 啦!上次你不是说在练汉字书法嘛练得怎么样啦?   　　B:嗯，我先练的是楷书，现在在练行书了。   　　A:是吗?不敢相信啊!行书可比楷书难多了。   　　B:是挺难的。在书法的不同体例当中.有些字的笔画顺序写起来也不一样。有时候同一个汉字用不同的体例写出来，我看着都觉得像是两个不同的字了。   　　A:哈哈，这倒是，尤其是写草书的话，别说看起来和其他体例不同，连要看清楚写的是什么字都会很难。   　　B:你练过书法吗?   　　A:练过，我小时候会对着字帖上的字来临摹。   　　B:我听说很多*都会开设书法课，老师会要求学生摹写。   　　A:没错。嗯.你这儿挂了幅卷轴啊，是*书法家的墨宝吗?   　　B:这我倒不清楚啊。   　　A:这里可能是书法家题的落款，我来看一看。
