Casey, one of my loyal readers, wrote some time ago asking what "from activity to activity" means without offering an example from which he might have seen that phrase.

In reply I asked him to find an example involving that phrase. "I promise," I wrote in reply, "that I'll answer the question if you do the exercise – if, that is, you still could not work out its meaning after doing the exercise." I believe the question answers itself if one sees a particular phrase in action a few times. I often find that to be the case at any rate.

Anyways, I challenged Casey to do more, adding: "I want you to do this so that you won't feel guilty that you have not done your part. Please do your part and expect me to do mine."

Fair enough, Casey came back with the following: "I tried to find some examples involving the phrase 'from activity to activity' but still I couldn't find any. The point is that I came across this phrase in an examination paper, and it just gave the phrase asking us to give the Chinese meaning of the phrase. There was no context at all. And I've never seen the phrase anywhere before. So believe me, I've done my part. Would you please be kind enough to tell me the meaning of the phrase? It would be better if you could give examples."

Fair enough. Now that Casey's done his part, I can tell the truth. And the truth is, sorry for being fussy, Casey, but there is precious little to explain.
