July 15, 2009 at 5:17 AM@mnspg, both 张小姐的家 and 张小姐家 are correct, and "的" is here to imply the possessive relationship between "张小姐" and "家", "的" can be left out.

July 15, 2009 at 4:03 AM@xiaophil, 可以这么说“记忆保持率", "生词保持率”，但是最好是在有context的情况下，这样说大家才会明白！
@christine30550, 1) Basically, "冻结" has two meanings, one is the abstract one, eg, to freeze a bank account; another one is the real freeze, but we seldom say "冻结" in this situation, "冻住", "结冰" are commonly used!
- the lake froze (in winter)? 湖水结冰了！ húshuǐ jiébīng le
- he froze to death? 他冻死了！tā dòngsǐ le
Frozen Pizza = 冷冻Pizza, 是不是? 这个可以这么说，也可以简单的说 “冻Pizza"
2) 节日补贴: this is a compensation different from the statutory (min.) 300% vacation-加班费.This can be cut, of course, 'cause there is no law requests to give employees 补贴.
3) Good question, 细水长流 means to economize to avoid running short; to go about something little by little without a letup, "细"(adj) here means "fine, tiny" (stream of water)

July 15, 2009 at 3:23 AM@cassielin, welcome back! It's the first time I heard this "过气明星” 曾经比较有人气,但是现在暴光率不高,渐渐被人忘记的一些明星 a washed out former star or outmoded stars, I don't know which one is better! Or just simple "has-been"?

July 15, 2009 at 2:55 AM@wjefferys, it has something to do with traditional Chinese culture "modesty", when you get a compliment, you are not supposed to say "thank you!", but "哪里哪里！” or "没有没有” instead. It's a cultural saying, actually, there are more and more people prefer to say "谢谢" these days!

July 14, 2009 at 7:57 AM@ouxiansheng, you're welcome! Chinese is my mother tongue. 哈哈！不谢不谢，你可以说：你的中文比我的好那么多...
你真的很努力，让我想起以前我们上英语课时，老师总是让我们听写VOA, 就是Voice of America-normal speed, it was a mission impossible, 但是对学习语言很有用，效果也很好。

July 14, 2009 at 2:06 AM@orangina, yes, exactly, "在" is here to indicate present continuous. Here, "Are you studying Chinese?" More examples, 你在干什么啊？（What are you doing now?）; 他在写作业。（He is doing his homework.）
