Marnen Laibow-Koser's Journal

From featheredfrog:

BOOKWORM:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

OK, using the first book that caught my eye (which happened to be a dictionary, so I'm substituting "entry" for "sentence"):

(BTW, all the Chinese characters have their pronunciation indicated in bopomofo ruby, which I didn't bother reproducing. The third column is Mandarin, and the fourth is Cantonese; both use the Yale romanization.)
