I don't get why it says "November 30 local time". When I hear "local time", I expect a time of day to come after, but instead it's a day of the year. What gives? They signed the agreement in the evening in America so it was already December 1 in China? That seems like a weird detail to allude to.

Even after searching Baidu, I'm still unable to figure out what 生动注脚 means. A lively footnote? Could you help me out?

我倒是不同意。把单词翻译成英文有时候是最有效的让学生明白单词的意思的方式。我反正在听博客的时间中隔三岔五地查词典看看单词用英文怎么说。

The other three parts of this speech are fairly straightforward. This one... it might as well be in Cantonese. I managed over a minute without understanding a single sentence. Feels just like before I started studying yell

What a wonderful dialogue and a great episode. Fiona is on fire! She's so funny in this episode.

Astrology is a good way to study people's personalities in the same way interpreting the shapes of passing clouds is a good way to study household economics.
Nice lesson though!

Or perhaps this dialogue is actually a piece of political satire, showing us the absurd inflation that could result from China continuously devaluating the RMB for tactical reasons...
