*很hěn, literally means “very”.  However,it is a minimal modifier, the intensity is very week when followed by
adjective. Use 很to translate English “be” verbs is/am/are when followed by an adjective, and use是 when followed by a noun.  Ex: “I am hungry” à 我很饿。 “I am a teacher” à我是老师。   

*David Beckham's tattooed line "生死有命, 富贵在天” (shēng sǐ yǒu mìng, fù guì zài tiān) , meaning "Death and life have their determined appointment; riches and honors depend upon Heaven" is a line in Analects or Lunyu (论语)。
