我的理论是按照逻辑推测到的。。。问李探长和小龙, 他们肯定同意。

难道幕后没有另外一个故事,而《私奔》这个词在这儿没有另外一层意思。。。真相是肯定与政治或者腐败有关的。。。

Hi mark,

I agree. For me, "sleeping in" is 8 AM. I always feel the day is lost if I sleep longer than that. But the rest of my family is different. Ideal, if for example you want to take a good, long run in the morning...after I return everybody is still in bed (:

Comment of my wife: If it is 360 degrees it is fourth tone, if it is less, third. End of story. (;

100% agree with Mark. Skript-free audio or video-content Medias are more like a "nightmare mode" for me, so I usually skip those. A newspaper Media or content with a transcript is still more work than a typical Advanced lesson, but I can work with those.

Newbie??? Do you guys really think a beginner would get all the references to popular Chinese culture? This is definately Advanced.
