English emphasizes the combination of form, and Chinese emphasizes the combination of meaning:

1. A birthday cake with burning candles is also indispensable at one's

birthday party. It may derive, distantly, from the ancient Greek

practice of offering to Artemis, goddess of the hunt and of the moon, a

round honey cake into which a candle was stuck

At a birthday party, lighting candles and inserting them on the birthday cake is essential. This may originate from ancient Greek customs, where people used round honey cakes with a candle to worship the goddess Artemis, the god of the moon and hunting.

2. It was a special and unexpected delight, then, when I learned something I'd written would finally see print.

However, unexpectedly, I was pleasantly surprised. I learned that something I wrote would finally be published in the newspapers.

3. When I was young, I went looking for gold in California.

When I was young, I went to California to pan for gold.

English emphasizes the combination of form and Chinese. English pays attention to the use of various tangible connection methods to achieve completeness in both grammatical and logical forms. Concepts are clearly referred to, sentences are tightly organized, levels are clear, and syntactic functions are explicit.

The so-called form combination means that the words or clauses of a sentence are connected using certain linguistic formal means (such as related words) to express grammatical, semantic and logical relationships. English syntax is a typical morphological method (Hypotaxis).

The so-called meaning combination means that the words and clauses are connected without any linguistic means. The grammatical meaning and logical relationship in the sentence are expressed through words or clauses. Chinese syntax is a typical parataxis.
