Great new Firefox Addon found at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3349″
To be frank it’s only usefull for people studying chinese anyway. For others like me it may be an interesting toy with the given english text.
Par example try this.
http://karakhoja.multiply.com/journal
Install Addon. Go to „Extras“. Toggle (anklicken) chinesePera-kun.
Put the curser to the headline of the site. Good thing the dictionary recognizes composites as well, so „Zhong guo“ ( China ) is defined.
First sign: a target with an arrow in the middle meaning „center“.
Second sign: a cartridge – like in egyptian hieroglyphics – meaning kingdom or country ( inside of the cartridge the chinese signs of the country). In this case „China“.
The next composite means „politics“ – „Zheng Zhi“. Also two signs !
What we got so far is „Chinese Politics.“
Next one is difficult. „Yu“. A so called „interrogation particle“.
I don’t want to say something about that special particle. Which is greek to me. In a sense it may mean – very polite in chinese – „what people say, but one cannot be shure.“
And „Mei fi“ means something like „the News“.
So what we got is „Chinese politics in the News.“

P.S.: Um keine Doktorarbeit draus zu machen hab ich mir die Lautungszeichen in Pinyin gespart. Sorry.
