Muwa Gisun Section Two
discourse 2
Sir, have you come?
I have come.
Please have a seat here at the head of the table.
I’m fine here.
Have you eaten?
Yes.
How many servings [lit., bowls] have you eaten?
I have eaten three servings.
What have you snacked on?
I’ve snacked on mutton.
discourse 3
Where are you going so early?
I am going to school.
Come to my house and sit awhile.
I don’t have the time.
Why are you in such a hurry?
All of my schoolmates go to school early. If I am a little late, then I would not get to recite my lessons first. If I don’t get to recite my lessons first, then I would not be able to be the first to go [home].
discourse 4
Why are you still not going?
You don’t understand. Yesterday I had said I would go, but because it rained yesterday I didn’t go. Today again I said I was going to go, but with the streets turned to mud I didn’t go. If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, then I should be able to go. It’s not good to rush things like this. When the time comes that it’s okay to go, I will certainly go. Why should I be in such a hurry?
discourse 5
He who has become a teacher must create relatively brief segments of speech and have beginner students practice them over and over. He must make script and speech very clear and must not be too demanding.
discourse 6
The two of us were talking here. What does it have to do with you? Why are you sticking your nose in? Instead of interfering in other people’s business, you would be better off saving your energy.
discourse 7
The day before yesterday you were saying you would give it [to me]. You didn’t. Yesterday you said you would bring it. Again you didn’t. Today again you come empty-handed. The way things are going, after tomorrow has passed and it’s the day after tomorrow, you may surprise me by finally bringing it to me then.
discourse 8
Don’t laugh. To laugh a lot is unlucky. [Besides,] we are all just students. When we get a single word wrong, why do you fall down laughing like that? How much could you know? How much are you able to understand? How dare you be so arrogant?
discourse 9
Don’t believe what he says. He’s a liar. It’s like he has no tongue in his mouth at all. Here he says one thing, but then he goes somewhere else and says another. He lies with his eyes wide open, whenever he pleases.
discourse 10
Who told you to eat? Who told you not to eat? Who told you that you must not eat? Who told you to take [it]? Who told you not to take [it]? Who told you that you must not take [it]?
