EXAMPLE SENTENCES

本来在社会生活中,“饮食男女”是回避不开的客观现实。

Originally in the social life, " the natural instincts of man" is avoided from objective reality.

孔子曾在《礼记》里说到“饮食男女,人之大欲存焉。”关于这一点,中国名人似乎铭记于心。

Confucius said, food and sex are basic human desires. Chinese showbiz celebrities seem to have taken this to heart.

如同写给自己的信,说:“烟火人间,饮食男女,春耕秋收,冬雪夏雨……虽然虚无,但过程或许就是意义所在。”

As a letter addressed to their own, said: "The fireworks world, catering for men and women, spring harvest, Dongxue Xiayu …Although the emptiness, but perhaps the significance of the process."
