hi Veronique,  

I would say that as the fact of drinking alcohol reduces your physiological reflexes while driving it "disables " you to drive properly = you might not be able to do so.Insofar the term 不能 = not being able should be appropriate.

But - let's say - a policeman stops you on the road and explains to you that the common traffic regulations forbids to drive being under influence of alcohol, and that you violate the rules he might say: ..喝白酒以后你一定不可以开车。 Can one of the team check whether my guess is correct or not. 你们能不能告诉我的解释好不好?

Salut

thanks, but the 'even though' is not exactly what is expressed in the Chinese sentence.

Fiona translated: I never knew that my girlfriend liked me because I wasn't handsome. So the confusing translation ( at least for my German ears) has  basically the opposite meaning.

very good lesson,

please correct the wrong translation of:

没想到女朋友因为喜欢

I would not have expected my lack of looks to be the reason for my girlfriend not to like me.

Hi Constance and Fiona, 好极了 hǎo jí le! 很好玩!

寒毛 hán máo 怎么样zěn me yàng?

汗毛和寒毛一样不一样?you pronounced the 汗毛 on the second tone(hán..), whereas the dictionnary gives the 4th tone?

BTW you are both lovely! 周末快乐!!
