问题3
I'm trying to take up a self-defence art and considering Taijichuan as an option. Is it good to take up Chen Jia Taiji or is a more "external" form better? Is Taijichuan an adequate form of self defence compared to other arts? And how do you go about looking for a good Taiji sifu?

我正在试图去学习一种防卫艺术，并且也想把太极作为一种选择。是开始采取陈式太极拳训练方法好呢，还是进行更多的外型训练？同其他的武术相比较，陈式太极拳真的能自我防御吗？还有就是，你怎样着手去寻找一位好的太极师傅呢？

答案3
Taijiquan is an excellent option. If you pay more emphasis on self-defence, Chen Jia Taijiquan (Chen Style Taijiquan) is generally the best choice. But other styles, so long as they are real Taijiquan, are also exceedingly effective for self-defence, as you can read in some of the questions and answers above.
太极拳是很好的选择。如果你更强调技击的话，那么，陈式太极是最好的选择。对于其他的风格，只要它是真正的太极拳，那么对于技击效果来说，它就很有效。从这里，你能看到以上问题的部分答案。
There is no such a thing as an "external form Taijiquan". If it has only external form but no internal aspects, it is not real Taijiquan; it may be Taiji dance.
并不存在“外型式的太极拳”。如果只能外型像，而没有内部方面的话，这不是真正意义上的太极拳，那只是太极操。
You should go about looking for a good Taijiquan sifu in a humble, determined manner. The first thing you have to find out is whether he teaches real Taijiquan (which will include, among other things, training for internal force and combat efficiency). He will not be easy to find; be aware that many teachers may be well known and have taught for many years, but they may only teach Taiji external form, not real Taijiquan.
你应该以一种谦虚和坚定的态度去寻找一位好的太极师傅。首先，你要弄清楚这位老师是否教的是真正的太极拳（包括内功训练和格斗训练）。这样的老师并不容易找到；或许很多老师很有名气，并且也教了很多年，但是，他门只教外型，而不教真正的拳。
Finding a real Taijiquan teacher is difficult enough; getting him to teach you is more difficult. You have to accept the fact that he may have no interest, and certainly no obligation, to teach you even though you may be dying to learn Taijiquan.
要找到真正太极拳老师是件很困难的事情；让他教你东西就更困难了。你必须接受这样的一件事情，就是即使你很想学拳，别人也没有兴趣、甚至说是没有义务一定要教给你。
