语言点 Language Points 一边……一边 …while…; …as…
“一边……一边……” is a correlative adverb, usually used before verbs to indicate two actions happen together.
Example:
老师一边说一边在黑板上写了一个“宀”。
The teacher wrote a“宀” on the blackboard while he was speaking.
（1）同学们一边唱歌一边跳舞，都很高兴。
（2）他一边想一边回答问题。
然后 then
“然后” in “A，然后B” is a conjunction with the meaning of“ then, afterwards”, normally used to indicate an event that occurs after another.
Example:
然后，她又在下面写了个“女”字。
Then, she wrote a“女”under it.
（1）星期天上午我洗了衣服，然后跟朋友一起去看电影。
（2）他每天早晨起床后，先去操场跑步，然后吃早饭。
如果……就…… if…then…
“如果” indicates an assumption. “就” introduces certain results or consequences. “如果……就……” is used to connect two clauses.
Example:
如果房子里有个女人，就会平安。
If there is a woman in the house, it will be safe and sound.
（1）如果明天下雨，我们就不去公园了。
（2）如果有很多钱，我就买汽车。
Have you been to Tian’anmen before? Do you know what 安means?
While attending class, the teacher wrote on the board and told us the top “宀” symbolizes a house. Then, she wrote “女” on the blackboard, and told everyone, “The house has a woman. What happens?”
A student answered, “Trouble!”
Everyone laughed.
The teacher smiled and said, “If there are women inside the house, it will bring harmony. That’s why the character 安 has a ‘宀’ in the top and a ‘女’ in the bottom.”
During a Chinese character class, the teacher on one hand was explaining and on the other he wrote on the blackboard a “宀”， to tell everyone :-
“宀” in Chinese characters means having to do with houses. He then wrote the character “女” below it and asked everyone: “If there is a woman in the house, what happens?”
一个学生回答：“麻烦！” 大家都笑了。
One of the students answered: “trouble!” They all laughed.
老师微笑着说：“如果房子里有个女人，就会平安。所以汉字的‘安’字就是‘宀’下边加一个‘女’字。”
The teacher smiled and said: “If there is a woman in the house, it means peace. Therefore, the character ‘安’ is written as ‘宀’ with ‘女’ under it.
hello, again I forgot where I left the comment about hiding pinyin. I’ve read your reply anyway and forgot to reply you back.
It is helpful to see the pinyin for some people maybe, but as they progress they eventually find these pinyin to be more annoyance than helping. Because since the pinyin is very close stuck with the characters, even though I know the character I’m reading the pinyin instead, because it is so close stuck together. Beside adding a default so the pinyin is hidden (at least for the sentences) shouldn’t be too hard. You already mention that it is possible to do with javascript.
Just for fun here is the translation in Arabic

Hi Roland,
Even though I don’t know what you are writing, but thanks for your Arabic translation.
By the way, it is “翻译” not “发音”.
