John: I've got to say, I didn't really see her skills in Iron Man 3.
Jenny: 因为那个 role 就是没有 skills。
John: So 范冰冰，I find that a lot of people, they say they don't like her, they say things like 太妖了，but then how is she so popular? Its like no-one likes her.
Jenny: 她就是很［come in ???］controversial 吧，所以不管［？］就是喜欢她的人,很多不喜欢她的人，也很多［但至少］people talking about her all the time.

John: I feel like of the ones we mentioned today, the one that seems like the biggest of the stars is 范冰冰。
Jenny: 对。
John: Is that right?
Jenny: 对，我也觉得因为范冰冰她以前就是学表演，学 acting，然后就演戏，一直演戏。所有她是有 skills。［WTF - stop slurring your words, we are Chinese learners, not native speakers］很多宅男女神她就是因为长得很漂亮，然后很火辣。［(slur) 但是］她也不太会演戏,不会唱歌，就是没有什么真真的 skills。

Jenny: 也可以。
John: So you don't have to add this 类型 in, but you do hear it a lot.

John: And in the next line, we see another question ... in the next line we see a question using 类型。
Jenny: 那你喜欢什么类型的？那你喜欢什么类型的？
John: 'What type?'
Jenny: 对。
John: And this 的, what is that?
Jenny: 这个＇的＇就是省略了女人，就是：你喜欢什么类型的女人？
Right-Wingnut
June 28, 2013 at 07:38 AM
Jenny: Kind，对。Type, 这个［？］。
John: I don't like that kind of type of woman?
Jenny: 我们通常形容类型，就是会说你喜欢＇那＇种类型的女人。
John: So for the type of person you like, you frequently use the word 类型。
Jenny: 对对。
John: And its just a common way of asking ...
Jenny: 对对。
John: Which kid of type?
Jenny: 就是...对。我不喜欢那种类型的女人。他就说：我不是很喜欢那种很火辣的女人。
Right-Wingnut
June 28, 2013 at 07:31 AM
John: So this specifically means 'sexy'. You can't use it for food.
Jenny: 对。不行。
John: 火辣。3rd and 4th tones.
Jenny: 好。那［？］其中这个 - 一个男同事呢，就说我们要不要去看看这些车模， 对吧。都很火辣。那另外一个人呢，他也说：我不喜欢那种类型的女人。我不喜欢那种类型的女人。
John: 那种 means 'that kind of'. And then 类型，4th tone - 2nd tone, means 'kind'.
Right-Wingnut
June 28, 2013 at 07:23 AM
Jenny: 对的。
John: So 车模 is a short way of saying 'car model'.
Jenny: 对。然后呢通常在中国这个车展上的车模都是很火辣的。
John: 火辣。'Fire spicy'.
Jenny: 就是很 hot。
John: 3rd tone, 4th tone. Can you use this to talk about spicy food too?
Jenny: 没有。吃的菜啊，那个就是很辣，但是形容一个人呢，特别是一位女人呢，就是很火辣。
Right-Wingnut
June 28, 2013 at 06:33 AM
Jenny: 不不不 （smarter than the average bear)。这里说的办说车展其实就是这个车展 is taking place。这件事情在发生。
John: So there's a car show going on.
Jenny: 对。
John: OK。
Jenny: 那他们为什么会说到车展呢，因为车展上有很多美女。就是有很多车模。
John: 车模。That's a girl?
Jenny: 就是车展上的模特儿。
John: 模特儿 is 'model'.
Jenny: 对。
John： 2nd tone, 4th tone.

6:02
Jenny: 他们说到了车展，说：这两天在办车展。
John: 这两天 - these past few days. 在办车展。
Jenny: 对。
John: 车展 is an auto expo.
Jenny: 对。一个 car show，对吧。
John: So 办车展 means 'doing a car show'.
Jenny: 其实这里的办，它强调了不是说 who is putting the show on.
John: Is this guy saying he himself is doing a car expo?

June 26, 2013 at 08:48 AM
5:36
John: Really?
Jenny: 对。
John: So every time you ate chocolate you got a bloody nose right away?
Jenny: 对。所以不是看美女吃巧克力，我流鼻血。
John: Strange. But one quick question though. 流鼻xiě - can you say 流鼻xuě？
Jenny: 也有很多人说流鼻xuě。
John: So you'll hear both of these.
Jenny: 对。鼻xiě, 鼻xuě，都可以。
John: Don't worry about it too much. So they they go on and talk about something about cars.
Right-Wingnut
June 26, 2013 at 08:41 AM
John: The idea is when a guy looks at a pretty girl, a sexy girl, he gets a little bit excited.
Jenny: 对。［？］他的身体可能 burning with desire to the point that his nose bleeds.
John: That's a thing that you see a lot in Asian culture.
Jenny:对。就是现在我们在这个中文里面也［这］常常说：这个人一看到美女就流鼻血。
John: But its more like a thing that happens in comics or a thing that you say, rather than something that actually happens.
Jenny: 对对对。［显示］生活中我不知道［未卜xi］一个男的。［？］John, 你知道吗，我小时候一吃巧克力就流鼻血。
Right-Wingnut
June 26, 2013 at 07:38 AM
4:32
Jenny: 就流鼻血。流鼻血。
John: Literally this means 'get a bloody nose'.
Jenny: 对。就是鼻子流血了。
John: So blood runs down from your nose. What are the tones here?
Jenny: 流，第二声，对吧。然后鼻血，第二声和第三声。
John: 2nd and 3rd. I think this is something that originally comes from Japanese culture, like [Mangan] stuff.
Jenny: 是吗？
Right-Wingnut
June 26, 2013 at 06:18 AM
4:01
Jenny: 后来呢，他没提到一个很有意思的说法。他这个同时说呢：喜欢看美女的是你。你一看到美女就流鼻血。一看到美女就流鼻血。
John: First we've got a pattern here.
Jenny: 一...怎么怎么样...就...怎么怎么样。
John: As soon as this happens, then this happens.
Jenny: 对。就是...那个＇就什么什么样＇是一个 consequence.
John: So 'as soon as you look at a pretty girl', then what happens?
Right-Wingnut
June 28, 2013 at 06:13 AM
Thanks again for that. But again I think there is something before the 种表. It sounds a bit like 'xin'.
Right-Wingnut
June 26, 2013 at 06:11 AM
3:35
Jenny: 笑成这样。笑成这样。
John: Literally 'smile become like this'.
Jenny: 对。可能这个男的他就笑了那种...就是看到女神。看到美女以后会［？？］表情。
John: He's got a big grin on his face.
Jenny: 对对对。
John: 笑成这样。
Jenny: 所以呢他说：你肯定是在看美女。
John: So he's looking at pictures of girls.
Right-Wingnut
June 28, 2013 at 06:11 AM
Thanks, that makes sense. But I still think there is something between 在 and 说谎.
Right-Wingnut
June 25, 2013 at 07:29 AM
Jenny: 这个是 onomatopoeia 嘛。一个 modal particle。
John: Not sure about that, but its like 'I don't believe you', like psh, whatever.
Jenny: 对。就是地嘴里发出了一种声音，然后通常就是像 John 说的你不相信个人说的话，或者你就觉得他都在就乱讲，［在一起戳破］。
John: 切。
Jenny: 对。切。
John: OK.
Jenny: 他说：你看新闻能笑成这样？笑成这样？
John: So you look at the news, can you smile like that? So the way that we say 'smile like that' is ...
Right-Wingnut
June 25, 2013 at 07:14 AM
2:34
Jenny: 对。好像对话一开始说，［其中］一个男同事说：在看什么呢？那另外一个人就说他在看新闻。后来他的朋友就说：切，看新闻能笑成这样？切，看新闻能笑成这样？
John: So the second guy claimed he was looking at the news, and the first guy said 切。
Jenny: 切。
John: What is 切？
Right-Wingnut
June 25, 2013 at 07:08 AM
2:19
Jenny: 我们今天的对话呢是发生在一个办公室里。两个男同事之间的对话。
John: So its in the office. One guy is apparently looking at his computer. And they other guy comes over and he says 'what are you smiling about?'.
Right-Wingnut
June 25, 2013 at 07:03 AM
0:58
Jenny: 就是通常我们说的宅男就像 John 说的一些很 geeky 的人。可能他自己没有女朋友，也还有很多女的朋友。
John: So the kinds of girls that a guy that stays home all the time and goes online and looks at pictures of girls, the kind of girls that he likes.
Jenny: 对。他们很 worship 这些 sexy celebrities.
John: So let's listen to the dialog now.
Jenny: 好。

June 25, 2013 at 07:00 AM
Jenny: 女神。女神。
John: 3rd tone, 2nd tone. That literally means 'female god' or 'goddess'.
Jenny: 对的。那这个词的第一部分：宅男。宅男。
John: That's like a home-body guy, kind of a geeky guy that stays home, a bookish guy.
Jenny: 对。就是他不是很 sociable，可能不常出去。
John: So a 'home-body goddess'. 什么意思？

June 25, 2013 at 06:51 AM
