On CNN news, I find an interesting news.
Princess Diana's love letter to Doti was revealed for inquest.
I read a few lines and feel her words are beautiful.
After a holiday on Doti's yacht, Diana wrote: "This comes with all the love in the world and as always a million heartfelt thanks for bringing such joy into this chick's life."
"Darling Dodi, these cufflinks were the very last gift from the man I loved most in the world, my father," she wrote. "They are given to you as I know how much joy it would give him to know they were in such safe and special hands. Fondest love, Diana."
Except she called herself as "chick" makes me confused, I feel her words showed genuine love instead of flirting.
In Chinese, chick is very offensive swearword. People only refer chick to a prostitute. Prostitute would not call herself chick. Actually I put Diana's words in my MSN space for friends and people start to debate. There is no way for Diana to devalue herself to that extent, had she been willing to show Dodi her love. That is my opionion. Mine is based on my understanding to "chick".
Maybe in English chick has another meaning beyond the confine by my understanding, or Chinese language even. Anyway I have never seen some one use chick to describe herself in English language world, not in a book, not in a movie, and not in daily life. Have you? I would like to see your comments.
