乘客们，很抱歉地通知你们：飞机将晚点。
Chéngkèmen, hĕn bàoqiàn de tōngzhī nĭmen: fēijī
jiāng wăndiăn.
Passengers, we are very sorry to inform you that
the flight will be delayed half an hour.
what exactly translates to 'half an hour' ?

October 25, 2009 at 6:36 AMThanks for that changye. Now your teaching me English! Oh the shame!
Still, I'd be interested to know how many native English speakers out there have heard the word 'cate'.

In the expansion sentences, your mouseover definition of mĕishí 美食 is "cate". Unless you are referring to that great Australian actress Ms Blanchett, I don't think I've ever heard that word.

October 25, 2009 at 3:41 AMRefering to the dialog sentence,
她是我们刚刚领养的女儿。(Tā shì wŏmen gānggang lĭngyăng de nǚér.) She's our newly adopted daughter.
领养 is defined as 'to adopt' or 'to foster' in all online dictionaries, and your sentence translation suggests the same. But your vocabulary list and mouseover definition define it more generically as 'to raise'. I can't find this definition on any other site, and it certainly doesn't mean that in this sentence. Is this an error? (I realise the second character by itself means 'to raise')
