July 8, 2011 at 3:43 AMGood question. Well literal would have been tropical island [or heat belt island]. Makes me think of pina colada but that's just spanish for strained pineapple and it doesn't like like a transliteration of that so probably not right, hey? Is it a local specialty or a drink from another country? well known?

July 8, 2011 at 2:15 AMit's funny that they've gone with jī [excite] here if it is meant to be a transliteration because my mnemonic for the tones is that the two first tones represent you're high levels of excitement as you get your icecream and the líng 2nd tone sounds a bit like "lick" and the action of licking from the base of the icecream up to the peak of the icecream mountain is the same profile as the 2nd tone. Heck, the word even sounds like your whole nervous system is ringing bells of excitement in anticipation.

July 7, 2011 at 2:00 PM噢，不需要“了”在句子的后面
哈哈，我已经懂错了这个课程：
http://chinesepod.com/lessons/%E4%BA%86-le-somethings-about-to-happen
”要。。。了“ 的结构
可能这是因为“将来”表示“未来”的意思，不是“马上就来”的意思，对不对？

July 7, 2011 at 1:52 PM又谢谢你。 噢，我看到你的编辑没有“以为”这个词，所以我觉得不可以用这样。
我也看到“以后”的位置。。。当然是这样，我这个笨蛋，呵呵
