这句话可以这样说,"我来自亚热带阳光海岸"。 zhè jù huà kěyǐ zhèyàng shuō, "wǒ láizì yà rè dài yángguāng hǎi'àn“
@ bodawei,
anyway 这里可以说 “不管怎（么）样”。
对，我明白你的意思！你是说有的被子里面的填充物是可以脱卸的，有的是不可以的。
外面的可以叫 “被套（bedding bag），一般都是用棉布做的。

December 16, 2009 at 6:30 AMHi rafach,
你说得对，“棉被”或者“毯子”的量词都是“条”。
“棉被” 一般是 “絮xu4了棉花的“被子”。
Definition of the "blanket" from wikipedia： blankets are including quilts, duvets, and comforters, depending on their thickness, construction and/or fill material. Electric blankets. Blankets were traditionally made of wool because of wool's warmth, breathability and natural fire-retardant properties, while sheets were made of cotton or linen, which are less irritating to the skin.
但中文里的“毯子/毛毯”都是没有填充物的。
如果有填充物的，（比如棉花，蚕丝或者羽绒等）就叫“被子”了。
夏天的被子很薄，叫“空调被”。
另外，除了 “羊毛毯”以外，还有 “绒（线）毯”。
上面说的electric blanket 是“电热毯”。不知道这个在美国现在是不是还会有人用呢?

"shopping" in Chinese 可以说 “逛街---guang4jie1” or "购物gou4wu4"。
Also, there is a new word in rencent years for shopping, 叫 "血拼", which means spending a lot of money on shopping at a time ( a crazy shopping).

December 16, 2009 at 3:23 AMAh, that way, it just can be called "被子" in general.
Is "doona " only an Australian slang for quilt or blanket?
羽绒被 is a quilt espcially filled with eiderdown.
That would be pretty cool to have a versatile quilt like what you described above! 要是我也有那样一条两用的被子就好了！~~
Actually I just bought 一条特大的蚕丝被 the other day.但是不太厚，3公斤的。 我一个朋友的公司搞活动，所以很优惠！

Silk-filled 被子 is called "蚕丝被---can2si1 bei4".

"帮你" can not be replaced with "对你" in the sentence "我再帮你拿一条吧"。
“我再帮你拿一条吧” indicates "one more(quilt)", including the previous one. while “我帮你拿一条别的吧” indicateds "other (quilt) " , the previous one would not be included.
Hope that makes sense!

是的，咖啡馆用积点卡/积分卡的很少，星巴克前段时间搞过这样的活动，但是11月份就结束了。
除了david说的信用卡可以积分以外，还有很多商场、超市的会员卡积分卡、航空公司积分卡、酒店积分卡等等都可以积分换礼品，或者参加一些其它优惠活动。
现在包括一些长途汽车票也有类似的“积分卡”了。
我每次做长途车回老家，他们都会发一张名片给所有乘客。名片的背面可以记录一年内的乘坐次数。如果一年内签满5次，就可以免费一次。
所以中国人其实还是挺喜欢用积分卡的！ :D
