"lavender is 薰依草"
wat i din manage to saywas on a bus, this young girl was a few seats in front of me, she was asking her father wat lavender was in chinese. she gave her description of the flower...“那个紫色的花。。。什么什么草的。。” but her father didnt noe wat she was talking about...or rather he didnt noe wat lavender was in chinese...so he told her itz 水仙花. she got upset, but tried to provide more details....trying to make the father recall tt her auntie grew tt 草...
was a few seats behind... wanted to tell her itz "lavender is 薰依草"...but i would haf to shout it out...so i decided i would walk up to her and tell her "lavender is 薰依草" when im about to alight.
unfortunately, they were getting off...a stop before me. so i tot i should walk up right then and tell her "lavender is 薰依草", alight and walk home. unfortunately, it was raining outside. so i sat.
wonder if shez still wondering wat lavender is in chinese. i dun like the feeling of not knowing, understand how she feels. should haf been more spontaneous.
hope she got her qn answered.
