June 6, 2008 at 8:26 PMTwo cents to buy food for thought:
China is going to host an international event, for the world, and in effort to be a part of the world. Just look at how China was 20 years ago. In short, a communist government that blockaded the country from the world. Despite amazing changes, changes that have a lot of postitive growth to them, forces want to tarnish China. IMO these same forces what to tarnish America too, but thats another angle for another discussion.
What these forces are is difficult to define and decipher, but serious consideration, and discernment needs to be applied on 'the media' that is daily consumed by the world.
An example of the discernment can be taken for this form of media outlet called DA. Today, Aric called out Fox News. To me this is rather particular. Fox News is the one American TV media outlet that has a propensity to lean politically (US politics here) right. Looking at the 'friends of Cpod' CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, etc, have, some more than others and in varying degress, a propensity to lean politically (US politics here) left. What exactly is Aric trying to say here?
I wish I could find some moderate news reporting.
In general, when I view American news from channels, I hear residual fear about China that has roots from WW2's results and the communist take over. As we know, a lot has changed from then, and the 'West' is just now starting preschool on getting educate about China.
To sign off, Cpod does an amazing job of educating people about China through the means of language education. The long term and board applications of this education hopefully has immeasurable positive effects.

June 5, 2008 at 8:01 PM虛心使人進步，,使人落後。
(Being modest makes people advance; being arrogant causes people to fall behind.)
This is what I find in the traditional character expansion set for 虛心-好像 '驕傲' 被清除了.

June 5, 2008 at 4:08 AM你走的時候忘了關門呢？你也太粗心大意了吧。
(How could forget to close the door when you left? You are so oblivious.
她本來就是粗心大意的人，經常忘帶東西。
(She is just that kind of careless sort of person. She often forgets to take things.)
這個英文好像是寫了有一點太粗心大意的. 是故意的嗎?

June 1, 2008 at 12:27 AM買東西最好貨比三家，要不然被蒙了也不知道。
貨比三家= 貨物-比較-三(?)-家(量詞或我家?)My mind is wanting to think this means- it's best to buy near to home-best to buy from what you're familiar with but, does it mean that it's best to compare the prices at 3 places before purchasing?
好,我以貼起來問題後就明白了.這詞語是不是固定的說法?
