now here's a review of the sentences in part two.

20:05.000 --> 20:17.000
In Taipei, there are many people who believe that the Feng Shui is good in Yangmingshan Cemetery.

20:17.000 --> 20:24.000
在台北,有人认为杨明山公墓风水好。

20:24.000 --> 20:33.000
Everyone hopes that his descendants will be prosperous.

20:33.000 --> 20:41.000
谁都希望他的子孙后代发达。

20:41.000 --> 20:51.000
To be particular about whether the Feng Shui is good or not, is an old way of thinking.

20:51.000 --> 20:56.000
讲究风水好不好,还是旧观念?

20:56.000 --> 20:59.000
My mother isn't superstitious.

20:59.000 --> 21:07.000
She says that either burial or cremation is okay.

21:07.000 --> 21:15.000
我母亲不迷信,她说土葬火葬都可以。

21:15.000 --> 21:23.000
Let's go to the paradise funeral home together, okay?

21:23.000 --> 21:28.000
我们一到去极乐殡义馆吧。

21:28.000 --> 21:37.000
I saw that most of the people in the funeral procession were only wearing mourning on their arm.

21:37.000 --> 21:44.000
我看到出殡的人,大都只在手臂上带校。

21:44.000 --> 21:49.000
I never wear gray clothing.

21:49.000 --> 21:52.000
我从来不穿灰衣服。

21:52.000 --> 22:03.000
The guests are all supposed to sign their names in the guest book. This is our custom.

22:03.000 --> 22:13.000
客人都要在签名部上签名。这是我们的习惯。

22:13.000 --> 22:16.000
Now here's a conversation reviewing part two.

22:16.000 --> 22:24.000
This dialogue takes place between an American and a Chinese in Taipei who are going to attend a funeral.

22:24.000 --> 22:32.000
听说王老师的父亲去世了。你想我们是否该去参加桑里?

22:32.000 --> 22:35.000
我想我们应当去。

22:35.000 --> 22:41.000
听说桑里在极乐殡义馆举行。你小的极乐殡义馆在哪里吗?

22:41.000 --> 22:44.000
小的,就在南京东路。

22:44.000 --> 22:47.000
我从来没参加过中国人的桑里。

22:47.000 --> 22:51.000
不知道你们有哪些规矩。你能不能跟我讲一讲?

22:51.000 --> 22:57.000
可以。现在一般人的桑里都很简单,没有太多的规矩。

22:57.000 --> 23:03.000
不过你不要穿红的、绿的或是花的衣服。穿黑的、灰的、蓝的都可以。

23:03.000 --> 23:10.000
去参加桑里的人,大都送晚年或花圈。我想我们可以合起来送一个花圈。

23:10.000 --> 23:11.000
好。

23:11.000 --> 23:18.000
到比利馆的时候,你一进门就会看到桌子上放着签名布。你要在上面签名。

23:18.000 --> 23:24.000
嗯。王老师的父亲要土葬还是火葬?你听说了吗?

23:24.000 --> 23:26.000
听说是要土葬。

23:26.000 --> 23:28.000
要葬在哪里?

23:28.000 --> 23:36.000
要葬在阳明山公墓,因为他们认为那里的风水好,能葬在那里,他的子孙后代就会发达。

23:36.000 --> 23:40.000
台湾现在有些人还有点迷信,是不是?

23:40.000 --> 23:46.000
是的,不过这些都是旧观念,年轻人大多不讲究这些了。

23:46.000 --> 23:49.000
台湾现在还有带校的习惯吗?

23:49.000 --> 23:55.000
有啊,王老师就带着校,你没看到吗?他手臂上那块黑布就是了。

23:55.000 --> 24:01.000
以前的人带校要带一年,现在的人多半只带一百天了。

24:01.000 --> 24:03.000
明天我们什么时候去?

24:03.000 --> 24:07.000
下午一点钟我在台大门口等你,我们到去。

24:07.000 --> 24:09.000
好的,明天下午见。

24:09.000 --> 24:11.000
明天见。
