January 12, 2010 at 8:59 AMBecause the actor spoke quickly, like in an emergency, the pronunciation of 叫jiao4 may have come out sounding a bit rushed, and similar to 'jiu'.

January 12, 2010 at 3:47 AM年轻的中国人应该听得懂。年长的，比较少接触英文，所以可能听不懂。这时候，你可以解释给他们听。"DIY精神"：自己动手做的精神。

Posted on: 舍不得
January 11, 2010 at 3:13 AMJohn said, "Recently I went to Beijing on a business trip but I had just gotten a new PS3 game. And it was really fun, I didn't want to leave the game." In this context, It's OK to say 我舍不得我的PS3游戏。
Liliana said, "If I were to leave Mexico, that is the thing I couldn't bear to live without." In this context, It's OK to say 我舍不得墨西哥玉米饼。
如果没有“离开”的语境，就不可以说上面两个句子。
pauley's example,
“every day i really enjoy eating zheng jiao...i dont want to be without it....”
如果没有“离开”的语境，只是说很喜欢蒸饺，不可以说“我舍不得蒸饺”。可以用changye的句子：“我天天都吃蒸饺。没有蒸饺我活不了。”
如果有“离开”的语境，比如说：回国。那么，可以说：我天天都吃蒸饺。如果回国的话，我舍不得蒸饺。

January 11, 2010 at 2:27 AMzhenlijiang, 你的理解是对的。“舍不得吃...”可以用在下面两种情况：
这个菜像艺术品一样，我可舍不得吃掉！
Zhège cài xiàng yìshùpǐn yīyàng，wǒ kě shěbude chīdiào！
这个菜太贵了，我可舍不得吃。
Zhège cài tài guì le，wǒ kě shěbude chī.
