主题：【工业角度看语言】为什么说汉字汉语比所谓屈折语优越 -- 林风清逸

《世说新语》记述魏晋风流人物的趣闻，其中对白很多。说到吃饭的问题其实就和现在的说法基本一致。例如《政事第三》里说：

这里“时为”是过去时，“正与謇共食”是进行时，“待我食毕作教”和“当如所白”是将来时。翻译成英文如下：

Yu Cun was He Chong's assistant at that time. He was eating with Yu Jian (when Yu Jian submitted the petition.) "What you suggested is great! I will reply you after finish eating " Yu Cun said. After eating, Yu Cun took a pen and wrote on the back of petition:" If you can get a doorman like Guo Lin Zong, I will do as you suggested. Where can you find such person?" Yu Jian thus withdrew the petition.
