这个课程:

http://chinesepod.com/lessons/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E5%8A%A8%E6%BC%AB

有一个很有意思的引用:

作家林语堂男人终极理想中国厨子日本老婆法国情人
(According to author Lin Yutang, men's ultimate ideal is to hire a Chinese chef, get a Japanese wife, and a French lover.)

有任何的Poddies有什么意思为什么这个作家有这样的想法?。。。。在中国很普遍?

我觉得这个包括一些刻板印象,对吧。。。那,那个刻板印象是什么呢?

This line from the dialogue tab:

真是歪打正着好久找到没想到今天这里碰上


was translated as:



If we hadn't happened on this, I would've looked for it for ages!

..but I interpreted it as:

that's really dumb luck. I searched for so long and didn't find it. I didn't  expect that I'd come across it here today.

Can someone please explain to me what indicates that this 好久找到 was referring to the future as per the translation and not the past as I would have had it...or are both correct possible interpretations?

benbenbenben,

I've just been studying this lesson:

http://chinesepod.com/lessons/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E5%8A%A8%E6%BC%AB

on Japanese anime, and further to our discussion here, Dragonball was mentioned there. I love when that happens. You were right of course in that Dragonball is a Japanese version of Journey to the west, but it was an anime series and the series I referred to wasn't. Thanks for pointing it out though mate. Interesting. I wouldn't mind checking it out now if I get the chance.

哈哈, 这个:

...is an impressive rant from a true 粉丝...quite apt that it's that long..a sign of his enthusiasm as well as a good description. Got me wondering what the longest lines in a Cpod dialogue [note...not monologue] are.
