Students want to study Chinese who love movies. It is a good method which read actors’ lines. Last night I watched The Croods movie with my friend. I love those dialogues from The Croods:

Guy: This is called a brain. I think that's where ideas go.

Thunk: Dad, I don't have a brain.

Guy：zhèshì dànǎo wǒ xiǎnɡ hǎo zhǔyì dōu láizì zhèlǐ

这是 大脑 ，我 想 好 主意 都 来自 这里 。

Thunk: lǎo bà wǒ méiyǒu dànǎo

老 爸 ，我 没有 大脑 。

Eep: My name's Eep and this is my family(家- jiā), the Croods. We never had the chance to explore the outside world because of my dad's one rule:

Eep: Never leave the cave.

Grug: New is always bad. Never not be afraid!

Eep: We never had a chance to explore the outside world, but what we didn't know was that our world was about to change."

Eep: wǒ jiào xiǎo yī zhèshì wǒ de jiārén ɡū lū zú wǒmen cónɡlái méiyǒu

我 叫 小 伊 ， 这是 我 的 家人 ，咕 噜 族 ， 我们 从来 没有

líkāi dònɡxué qù tànsuǒ shíjiàn yīnwei wǒ lǎo bà de ɡuīju

离开 洞穴 去 探索 实践 ， 因为 我 老 爸 的 规矩 ：

yǒnɡyuǎn bùzhǔn líkāi dònɡxué

永远 不准 离开 洞穴 。

"Guy: Belt, emergency idea generator activate!"

"Grug: Never not be afraid."

"Thunk: You need a name, I think I'll call you Douglas. Roll over Douglas."

Grug: xīnshìwù dōushì huài de yǒnɡyuǎn búyào bùdǒnɡ hàipà

新事物 都是 坏 的 ， 永远 不要 不懂 害怕 。

Eep: wǒmen cónɡlái méiyǒu yíɡè tànsuǒ wàimiàn shìjiè de jīhuì suǒyǐ wǒmen

我们 从来 没有 一个 探索 外面 世界 的 机会 ， 所以 我们

bùzhīdào wàimiàn de shìjiè shì zěnme ɡǎibiàn de

不知道 外面 的 世界 是 怎么 改变 的 。

The movie tells me be careful but keep curious.

My friends ask me why do you come to Shanghai? I said i really don't know why and i just did it one day past. When i find a new,i just have a try. There are two results:one is good and another is bad, 50% and 50%. But if i give up and i will lose 50% good.

I choose one try.

Now you learn two mandarin words: fear--害怕hài pà =恐惧kǒnɡ jù

That means be afraid, fear, and scared.　Grug said never not be afraid in Chinese (mandarin)

yǒnɡ yuǎn bú yào bù dǒnɡ hài pà

永 远 不 要 不 懂 害 怕 。

In another words, sayings the same meaning:

shíkè bǎo chí jǐnɡ tì

时刻 保持 警惕.

Now you learn contrary to fear (害怕)- 警惕(jǐnɡ tì)-not be scared.
