个性小西红柿

badly, today's class makes me feel disappointed about myself
instructor asked who never used sarcam, my hand up because i do not know what that is ( i know ironic)
later on when i asked what the word is, then i know i use it almost every day.

It is a bad habit, but it is a good idea :)

0 a( R5 Y  E( k2 |- T; a2 lbtw, have you ever thought about the difference between sarcastic and ironic?

Here is what I found:
. e' C9 Y/ x7 }5 dIronic-------When you make an ironic remark, you say something that you do not mean, as a joke; if you say that it is ironic that something should happen, you mean that it is odd or amusing because it involves a contrast.
! d+ n9 k0 F% p0 z. j" MSarcastic---------Someone who is sarcastic says or does the opposite of what they really mean in order to mock or insult someone.

0 D1 V4 V( n% a关于这两词的区别，我有一个更好的解释跟你分享、:
! A, z6 P  U  U6 S  _4 [; {6 [Quite often sarcasm is mistaken for irony; however, sarcasm is a form of irony which uses sharp wit to highlight the obviousness, stupidity, or annoyance-factor of a situation. One main difference between irony and sarcasm is that irony is generally observed and sarcasm is generally created (i.e. spoken, written).

用中文言简意害得说就是：irony是存在的讽刺现象。sarcasm是人创造的讽刺意味。

我是小时候没有条件看书，没的可看，有点看的都是手抄本（你没看过吧？还是年轻啊！），后来升学，上班时间也不多，不过还是得机会就乱看。我最享受的时刻是买到一本喜欢的书，也许是小说也许是谁的传记什么的，自己一个人在家里，窝在舒服的沙发里，旁边在放上喜欢吃的零食，一边吃一边看，没有人打扰的一口气看完。
