ich habe "Eine Anwahl von den Chinesischen-Mandschurischen Sprichworten" geborgt...
vypožičal som si "Výber Prísloví Mandžuštiny-Čínštiny"...
bi "Manju Nikan dekdeni gisun soncoho isamcan" be juwen gaiha...(Manchu, Romanization)
I have borrowed "A Selection of Manchu-Chinese proverbs"...

我最近发现了我的新最喜欢的法语最小对立体：“merci beaucoup” /mɛʁsi boku/（“非常感谢”）和“merci beau cul” /mɛʁsi bo ky/（“谢谢好的屁股”）。
I recently found my new favorite minimal pair in French: "merci beaucoup" /mɛʁsi boku/ ("thank you very much") and "merci beau cul" /mɛʁsi bo ky/ ("thank you nice ass").

Quelle est ton ancienne?
What's your old one?

我没有以前的。我以前觉得“我最近发现了我最喜欢的法语最小对立体”听起来像奇怪，可是我不知道我为什么这样觉得了，现在听起来像可以了。
I didn't have an old one. I thought that "I recently found my favorite minimal pair in French" sounded weird, but I don't know why I thought that. It sounds fine to me now.

我知道语言不是母语的人会看见我写的时，我常常太担心它的样子……
I tend to worry too much about how what I say sounds when I know non-native speakers will be looking at it...

文は非母語話者にあまり変に聞こえない。なぜなら、非母語話者は通常文の変さを見つけるのより意味を抽出するほうが心配しているから。

Non native speakers don't find much weird because they are usually more worried about extracting meaning than in finding weirdness in the phrase.

とおもう。
I think.

C'est vrai pour moi. Par exemple, si je comprends une blague française, je la trouve forcément amusante.
/sɛ vʁɛ puʁ mwa | paʁ ɛgzɑ̃pl si ʃ kɔ̃pʁɑ̃ yn blag fʁɑ̃sɛz ʒ la tʁuv fɔʁsemɑ̃ amyzɑ̃t/
It's true for me. For example, if I get a French joke, it's automatically funny.

La compréhension de l'humour d'une autre langue est si difficile que je ne peux pas me permettre d'être sélectif.
/la kɔ̃pʁeɑ̃sjɔ̃ d lymuʁ dyn otʁə lɑ̃g ɛ si difisil kə ʒə n pø pa m pɛʁmɛtʁə dɛtʁə selɛktif/
Understanding another language's humor is already so difficult I can't afford to be picky.

我没看过很多中文笑话。
I haven't read a lot of Chinese jokes.

我为看大多看过的必须用词典。
I've had to use a dictionary to read most of the ones I've read.

[Ahzoh]

Tristemente, no sé algunas bromas en español.
Sadly, I don't know any Spanish jokes.

[loglorn]

Tristemente, no sé algunas bromas en español.
Sadly, I don't know any Spanish jokes.

No sé ninguna is probably more correct. Negative concord and stuff.

I've had to use a dictionary to read most of the ones I've read.

A more idiomatic way of saying these would be:

中文笑話我很少見。

見過的大部分都要查字典。

In this case you can also join the two sentences together with a comma.

我最近发现了我的新最喜欢的法语最小对立体：“merci beaucoup” /mɛʁsi boku/（“非常感谢”）和“merci beau cul” /mɛʁsi bo ky/（“谢谢好的屁股”）。
I recently found my new favorite minimal pair in French: "merci beaucoup" /mɛʁsi boku/ ("thank you very much") and "merci beau cul" /mɛʁsi bo ky/ ("thank you nice ass").

Je me dépêche de pécher, quand je dis:
I rush to sin when I say:



merci beau cul!
thanx, nice ass!

[Lambuzhao]

Salí afuera por un ratito
I went outside for a while

Para despachar un mísero atrapado de ratoncito
To dispatch a poor devil of a trapped mouse

Y el amanecer de neblinas dulzamargas y trilces lloviznas
And the gloaming of bittersweet mist and mirey muggð

Y garuas sumamente gunganas
And garuas very Gungan



Me acordaba de la Ciudad de los Reyes
Reminded me of the City of Kings

ここでは冬休みがほとんど冗談のように聞こえるな。夏はちょう暑すぎるのをもう言ったことがある?
Winter break almost sounds like a joke around here. Have i already mentioned summer is too freaking' hot?

Salut! Je suis nouvel ici! En le pays de galles, que j'habite, c'est bizarrement (j'ai peut etre inventé ce mot) chaud pour ce temps de l'année. On a les jonquilles en decembre!

Hi! I'm new here! In Wales, where I live, it's strangely warm for the time of year. We have daffodils in December.

Une sécheresse sévit ici en Californie. Heureusement, l'hiver amène quelques tempêtes cette année, mais il est fort probable que ça ne suffira pas.

There's a drought here in California. Thankfully, winter has brought some storms with it, but it's very possible that won't be enough.
