November 30, 2015 at 1:49 AMChinese people have told me before that the 房s represent bedrooms and the 厅s represent common rooms like a living room or a den. I don't think the kitchen or bathrooms are included in the count.

“当初我也是觉得很酷才来应征的” - Could you explain the function of 才 in this clause? Does it mean that the employee only applied for this job because he thought it was cool?

November 23, 2015 at 8:14 PMFiona, that sounds like an excellent way to start! Could you give us the name of that version? I could order it in at the local Chinese book store. I'd also like to tackle the original in one of those versions that has the Chinese on the left and the English on the right, if that exists. Or else, work with two copies, an original and a translated version.
Posted on: All About Hair
November 21, 2015 at 8:31 PMYou didn't mention hair removal by electrolysis. How would you talk about that?
Also, how would you talk about the hair on a lady's face? Would it be a type of 汗毛? How would you talk about the hair on a girl's cheeks, for example?

November 2, 2015 at 7:02 PMHm, just to clarify though ... does your picture indicate that a 路口 is represented by the first drawing, and that a 巷口 is indicated by the second two drawings, or does the picture indicate that all three drawings can be called either a 路口 or a 巷口? I still feel confused. :s

October 26, 2015 at 8:17 PM"看到墙角放着一个摄像机…"
Does this mean that the camera (and loudspeaker) are affixed to the wall itself? The translation says: "in the corner of the room." But does 墙角 mean that the objects are specifically attached to the wall instead of set on the ground in the corner?
