October 6, 2009 at 12:58 PMHi Miantiao, 多谢! I always think the "le" particle is confusing (Usually I just go by intuition, but that's not always safe).

October 6, 2009 at 12:02 PMIsn't there (yet) another 给，which is more or less like
被 (passive), as in the sentence
冰淇淋给孩子吃掉了*！
(bing1 qi2 lin2 gei3 hai2zi chi1 diao4 le)
*(I don't know if there is supposed a "了" here or not, I think I'll never learn that, sigh...)
=The kids ate up all the ice cream!
Is this right?

September 29, 2009 at 2:14 PMHey John, maybe the 卡 was one of those metro cards (so the girl could get back to the office without delay!). I heard that in China, people used metro cards to covertly hand over large sums of money, e.g. as bribes or even chun jie presents (?), not sure anymore. I don't know how much money one can 充 onto these cards, but it seems to be quite a lot.

September 22, 2009 at 11:47 PMHi johnsyz,
I agree that traditionally, the man would be the breadwinner and the woman would stay at home, and this pattern may have been the same for generations. BUT, the difference is that now, as opposed to 100 years ago, women have (near) equal opportunities, meaning they can get a good education and with that a basis for being financially independent, and that certainly has a great influence on the roles of men and women in society. It probably applies more to urban areas than rural ones. Social realities may also change faster than people's thinking, I guess that's natural.

September 22, 2009 at 2:14 PM刚刚听完了, 谢谢 Connie and David! 我希望这个LILIYA只是演的, 而不真正的是这个样子的"空虚"女孩。谈起80和90后这个问题（或现象）有意思。好像在中国，很多年轻女孩子都追着钱。 What I find irritating about this is that their ambition is not "I want lots of money" but rather "I want a guy with lots of money". 其实，现在的女孩子与男人一样，也可以读大学，也有机会受好教育、找工作、发挥她们的能力、自己赚钱。为什么非要装着 "little girl"的角色，老是依赖别人? 我就想不通... (it doesn't make these girls look very intelligent).

September 22, 2009 at 1:43 PMHi benchannevy,
I understood Jenny's comment to be more or less 这个意思:
Actually, in Shanghai nowadays, the richest men (or persons) are not the Shanghainese but people from all parts of the country who come to Shanghai to live or to invest in (buy) houses.

September 16, 2009 at 1:41 PMHi Bodawei,
Not sure where you heard 宫五， but if it was at the beginning, then it may have been the "wu" of episode 5, no? See the comment above by ashka824.

September 16, 2009 at 8:10 AMWhoa, 小顺子自从故事开头 —— 那时他还真是天真烂漫的小孩 —— 到目前为止，“发展”得非常厉害！I think I missed one or two of the lessons in between, but I remember the first one, when poor little 小顺子 was kidnapped on a rainy day!
汉语怎么说 "to scheme"?

September 16, 2009 at 7:55 AM在 Dialogue 解释部分有些词翻译得不太合适，是不是? (but correct me if I'm wrong; I mean the explanations that appear in the boxes when holding the cursor over a word), 比如:
一味 (in this sentence, this is a measure word, no?)
神医 (miracle doctor; was translated as "spirit")
本宫 (translated as "measure word for books" ?!)

October 7, 2009 at 10:43 AM我觉得小太监的连续故事很有意思，好玩吧！
Uh-oh, 不过，目前，那小太监真老了！听他的声音，好像有毛病。估计他出宫之后过日子很郁闷。还有，语调有点像老外... 怎么回事?
David, 虽然你不是皇帝，但是你一定是表演（声音）的国王! (don't know how to say this in good Chinese..)
