May 30, 2008 at 3:49 PM哈哈，uncle changye,看来你很有研究啊！^_^
Jenny, Connie,很棒的一课。connie说的很对，男人一定要有才华！然后呢，我觉得男人要有四“心”——爱心，孝心，包容心，上进心。
年轻的时候，大家可能都会注重外表，喜欢漂亮的，帅的，等到了一定年龄了，成熟了，就发现其实内在的东西最重要。

May 25, 2008 at 3:57 PM谢谢chiongzibide and 路加.^_^ I will make note of it. 路加，both 晚上去唱歌吧and晚上咱们去唱歌吧 are a suggestion. And we can tell that it is a suggestion for the speaker himself/herself and the listener, althought there is no subject in the sentence that晚上去唱歌吧. Let me give you more examples : 明天见。ming2tian1jian4=see you tomorrow. 一起吃晚饭吧。yi1qi3chi1fan4ba4=how about dinner together. 明天去野餐吧。ming2tian1qu4ye3can1ba1=let's have a picnic tomorrow. Hope those examples can help you to understand more about those sentences that still can make sense without a subject. Cassie

May 25, 2008 at 4:09 AMoh, there is no big problem with the audio here, just the time. I found that this audio lesson lasts about 04:10 ,but it shows that it will lasts about 13:38. So i thought it was a long elementary lesson before.

May 25, 2008 at 3:56 AMWow, thank you Chinesepod, very good lesson. I have been waiting for this KTV lesson for a long time. I knew you guys will do it one day. I am a huge fan of KTV. I often hang out with my friends in KTV. Jenny is right, no matter how bad you sing, just have fun when you are in KTV.^_^ So here comes my question. How to say 麦霸in English? Is there an equivalent in English? oh, let me explain 麦霸first, and then hope you guys can give me the answer. 麦mai4 is the abbreviation of 麦克风mai4ke4feng1, which means Microphone in English. 霸ba4 is the abbreviation of霸王ba4wang3, which means monopoly/ overlord. So 麦霸is refering to someone who always hold the Mic and keep singing in the KTV. So is there an equivalent in English? Cassie

May 24, 2008 at 1:22 AMDear amber, oh, i just want to add something about 保安. In China, you can find 保安almost everywhere. Banks, hotels, companies,shopping malls and even schools have 保安. Take my college's 保安for example. There are two gates in our campus and both gates have 保安work there everyday. You guys are right, their job is boring sometimes, just stand or sit their in the day time. Their duty is to stop strangers entering our campus in daytime. At night, they will take turn to do the night shift and make sure the security of our campus. Some of them will walk around the campus at night, especially the dorm building area, you know, they should make sure that there is no thief stealing while students are sleeping.^_^ Cassie
