Posted on: What meat is this?
July 30, 2007 at 2:20 PMWhen I ate meat back in the day, during one particular visit to China I recall having to draw the line at raw rat embryo, scrumptious though it looked.

July 30, 2007 at 2:03 PM你们听C-pod者都知道不知道‘知道’？;-) Nǐmen tīng C-pod-zhe dōu zhīdao bùzhīdào‘zhīdao’？ Do you C-pod listeners all know 'to know.' 我认为‘知道’可被当成一件"请问"的题目。尤其是把’知道‘、’认识、明白和懂‘这四个词的什么不同分析点。 Wǒ rènwéi ‘zhīdao’ kě bèi dàngchéng yījiàn “qǐngwèn” de tímù. Yóuqíshì bǎ ‘zhīdao’, ‘rènshi’, míngbai' hé dǒng zhè sìge cí de shénme bùtóng fēnxi diǎn. I think that 'to know' is worthy of being considered as a topic for Qing Wen, especially analyzing the differences between 'zhidao', 'renshi', 'mingbai', and 'dong'.

July 24, 2007 at 2:57 PMSpeaking of Seinfeld, perhaps we should have Zhang Liang or Lili discover their true orientation. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

July 7, 2007 at 3:01 PMThat robertk's tone-less pinyin was so easy to read is ample evidence that characters aren't necessary for communicating in Chinese, unless one wants to communicate among the various Chinese languages.

July 7, 2007 at 2:49 PMRight on, Lantian. "...there's always options." is perfect idiomatic English, of the less-stuffy North American variety, if you will. Correctness derives from usage, not from prescriptive grammarians. That's simply the way language works. It's evolution baby!
