July 22, 2009 at 7:12 AM@isthatme, throw the book at somebody, "严惩某人", “严惩” is the shortened version for "严厉惩罚", literally, severely punish.

July 21, 2009 at 8:24 AMI played this game as a tongue twister when I was still in middle school, but I was always the looser. It was my math(my faith is 60分万岁，多一分浪费)! (first of all, one should be clear that a frog has one mouth, two eyes and four legs）Then, start doing the counting.

July 21, 2009 at 1:48 AM@cinese, the lyric goes like "如果你爱我就别伤害我", and the name is the same 《如果你爱我就别伤害我》. Do you like it? (I don't). :)

July 20, 2009 at 9:35 AM@xiaophil, "A picture is worth of a thousand words", literally "一幅图片胜过一千句话“，just as a Chinese saying goes "眼见为实".
"May you get what you ask for", 祝你心想事成，或者祝你万事如意 zhù nǐ xīnxiǎng shì chéng，zhù nǐ wànshìrúyì
