It’s about who controls the information.”).ĭeGrasse Tyson made the point that science and math show that someone who is relatively small will see the curved surface of a very large body as flat. And it’s not about who’s got the most bullets. Yeah, totally like Sneakers, One of Cosmo’s quote is the best (“There’s a war out there, old friend. If any of you are really curious about Mandarin pinyin pronunciation, wikipedia has you covered: I’m not positive on the tones but I believe Liu is 2nd tone (rising intonation), Ci is also 2nd tone, and Xin is 1st tone (a high flat intonation). Xi is pronounced very similarly to she, so xin sounds a lot like sheen. It’s somewhere between an “eh” and an “uh” sound. Ci is tricky because the vowel sound is one that doesn’t have an easy English equivalent. For example the new Taiwanese President’s family name Cai would be pronounced Tsai. C in Chinese is pronounced with a “ts” sound. The first character, Ci, is a bit difficult. It’s a lot like the English name Leo, but a bit more fluent, like Lyo. But, if you’re going for authentic pronunciation the family name comes first. First, Liu is the family name and in China, the family name is said first.
But, since he mentioned it in 2 separate podcasts, let me try to help. Chinese names/city names are rarely pronounced correctly in the USA. Will seems generally concerned about the correct pronunciation for Liu Cixin.
