October 4, 2008 at 1:30 PMThanks CPod. You're a great help in my efforts to learn. I look forward to all of your lessons. And thank you Poddies for all of the "extras" we get with the good questions, insight and the fun that comes with it. Keep it up. I'll be here.
恭喜恭喜。
谢谢你们
Posted on: Around the Office
October 3, 2008 at 11:31 PMThe videos are a great addition. This one on the office was especially interesting, but the movement from object to object, around the room and down the hall was too quick to be comfortable on the eyes. Maybe its just me, but I think the transitions can be improved.
I liked the subject, the location and the "actors", but the filming technique, this time, left my head swirling.
Anyway, keep up the great work CP.

In this expansion sentence "他的老板怎么样？"
the audio says 你的老板怎么样？。

谢谢。I understand your point. Perhaps the sentence is out of context. Literally I read the sentence as
"baby alone very dangerous"
If the sentence was directed at another adult, then I think it could mean something like, "It is dangerous to leave the baby alone."
If I put in a comma "baby, alone is very dangerous". Here it is closer to the provided translation, and I suppose that the "to go" part is implied.
I'm just curious to hear from CPOD if the provided translation was intended.
Posted on: How's the weather?
October 30, 2008 at 12:26 AMI enjoyed Ken and Jenny's interpretation of the dialog, however, if you listen close, the man in the dialog is not sitting on a couch. You can hear footsteps on something hard, like pavement. It almost sounds like he is already outside on the street!! In fact, that makes more sense because the women on the phone called him to ask how the weather was.
Hmmm. What does that do for his tone of voice!
