孩子在学校表现优秀，家长很有面子！^_^
Sometimes we will use“赏脸” to mean kindly accept/show appreciation.
Anyway给面子and赏脸（shang3lian3）have the same meaning.

March 24, 2009 at 2:00 PM“野火烧不尽，春风吹又生”的寓意是对一件事或者一种现象的处理要彻底，否则只要时机成熟或者条件充分，又会爆发的！ 正如成语“斩草除根”所表达的意思一样，要除去祸根，不留后患！

March 19, 2009 at 4:51 AMHi pete,
这是我最难忘的一首古诗！还记得小时候，在一次夏日的旅途中我们经过一块田地，农民们在炎炎夏日下辛勤的耕种着，我爸爸就教我和弟弟背这首古诗“谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦”。从那以后我们都养成了爱惜粮食的好习惯，每次吃饭都吃的很干净！现在看到我自己的侄子吃饭吃不干净，不爱惜粮食，我都会让他们背这首诗！^_^

March 9, 2009 at 12:30 AMHi bababardwan,
That pretty smooth looking dude is Dannis Wu.^_^
He is a mixblood. His mother is Korean and his father is American. He became famous since the Korean TV play "Sweety spy" was hot in 2005.
I watched that TV play three years ago! He is very tall and handsome. Btw, he speaks half korean and half English in that TV play, very cute!^_^

I thought it might be钢管舞before, jut not really sure about it.
I saw pole dancing(stripper) in some American movies. To be honest, a traditional chinese man can not accept his wife or girl friend do pole dancing in a club.

March 24, 2009 at 3:21 PM@tommaz, thank you!
There is a song praise the grass named《小草》
《小草》
没有花香没有树高
我是一棵无人知道的小草
从不寂寞从不烦恼
你看我的伙伴遍及天涯海角
春风呀春风你把我吹绿
阳光呀阳光你把我照耀
河流呀山川你哺育了我
大地呀母亲把我紧紧拥抱
