   I had dinner with two friends last night. One of them have been in French for couples of years. She told us her stories concerns Language of French.

   One day, she, together with a friend of her, went to warehouse to buy television cable. A cable is translated as XIAN in Chinese. While a Chinese XIAN can be translated to a line, a wire, a thread, a cable, a string or something else which is thin and long. They asked the salesperson for a line, which is plugged in the back of a TV which is malfunction. It took time and difficulty before the salesperson and them found the right merchandise, a cable. It was funny, while it was real. And they learnt the word, cable.
