计划生育嘛,中国只有这唯一的办法来拍这样的家庭sitcom.

好像是Bill Cosby说的:If you've only got one kid, you're not really a parent. You always know which one of them did it.

I've been looking at these signs so long that it took me a minute to realize that there really is something wrong with "China Police."

我好期待着!

最近开始看《倚天屠龙记》,那个电视剧的文言文也多。虽然经常听不懂,但是大概的情节能明白。

You're right! I totally missed that. Thanks, my question has finally been answered!

I just checked Apple's Chinese website. It's inconceivable to me, but my friend was right: They call BOTH 内存. Here are the tech specs on the top model MacBook Air:

    * 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 处理器
    * 2GB 内存
    * 256GB 闪存
    * NVIDIA GeForce 320M 显卡

It's got 2GB of 内存, and 256GB of 内存. Crazy.

But there is another place on the website (referring to a cheaper model) that says:

内存:     主板安装 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
存储设备:     64GB 闪存

I still think it's confusing though.

I was just discussing this question with a Singaporean friend a week ago. He's not too computer savvy, so I don't think he fully understood my question. In the end, he said it should be called 内存, but that just leads to another problem: How do you distinguish between 2GB 内存 for short-term operating use and 200GB 内存 for long-term storage?
