Posted on: The ChinesePod Practice Plan
August 6, 2008 at 2:01 PMjust noticed a slight discrepancy in the price advertisement for the Executive Plan, Starting from $199 a month under What is this?, Starting from $125 a month on the Product Comparison Chart
the former is based on a $199 monthly plan, the latter on a $2999 two year plan. That's $34-$55 an hour, though I admittedly spent way more than one hour to prepare for my 12-15 minutes sessions.

see this
according to Wenlin/ABC, 兆 was borrowed as a phonetic loan character for the word zhào 'million' (formerly sometimes meant billion, i.e. 10 to the 12th power, but now means million, i.e. 10 to the 6th power).
so, 兆 ==> million; mega-

June 23, 2008 at 10:45 AMI am also confused about 负责管理, "in charge of management". "in charge of PR (公关) production (生产) marketing (营销) etc." but here why not just "(your new) manager"

June 23, 2008 at 4:44 AM我们支持你 we've got your back
would "we support you" / "we stand by you" not be a better translation?

Posted on: 梁祝故事
May 27, 2008 at 9:31 AM对不起，是我搞错的: 我糊涂是因为文章里面写的“朱英台”，网上我遇到了“祝英台”，那个故事的题目当然是“梁祝”。
“朱英台”可能有错字的‘朱’，那个姑娘其实性‘祝’。

May 26, 2008 at 5:03 PM我猜测上面序言里面的“梁祝的故事”有错字的‘祝’，正确的的‘朱’,“梁朱的故事”，对不对?

August 18, 2008 at 2:55 PMIf I remember correctly, John's explanation goes something like "take Object, do something with it" i.e. Subject 把 Object Verb
Similar to reverse polish notation if you think about it : '1 {enter} 2 +' is the same as '1 + 2' where {enter} is a separator that does the same job of as 把!
I guess it's also one of these constructs that allow modifying the sentence at the last minute, as in '你是最聪明(之一)。'
