高中级有那么多英语! 那我问题是这样:2011年我和老婆是光棍节办结婚证的,但是因为我们还没举行婚礼,她父母不同意我们俩同居,从11月到2月份一直都不会。这样的保守是太讨厌了。

I've played through Sid Meier's pirates 3 times now.  I'll be listening to this one a few times this week.

我听了一遍, 对这星期对话我没怎么得罪的。

 

我中国朋友问我你什么时候回国时候我可不可以说:

从我来中国之后已经回国一趟。明年夏天还打算回过一趟。

 

John: 我也看了Aliens好几遍。

Jenny,

I'm no pro on interviewers, but listening to this show and thinking about an interview of yours I listened to a year ago I believe you have worked very hard at finely tuning your interviewing skills and have become an even stronger interviewer. 

Keep up the good work.  see you tomorrow c-pod.

加油,Liliana.  Being from Texas, I love the accent.  This is a great QW team.  I've found the past few QW's to be quite stimulating and fun.  Since my Chinese learning has become more and more just spoken in Chinese it's good to have a break where we can talk Chinese grammar and grammar points (with a vocab word or two mixed in) in English.

 

I'm less tempted to sass Connie because, well... she's packing that heat.

哈哈I would say "well played" in Chinese but I don't think 好球 would translate.

儿子听很想Connie。 

上个星期五我5分钟早下课因为我大学有美国橄榄球比赛。 我看了下半场。 我的大学输了太可惜。我最喜欢是美国大学竞争比赛。

I find it refreshing how an ele lesson can have teachable moments in them even for a student like me who understands all the words in that lesson and most intermediate lessons...

像我这样拿!

I'm not sure I would have known how to say a construction like this without this lesson.

 

Thanks again for a great lesson guys.

I remember this being one of the first lessons on c-pod I listened too and it was too hard (but I was a newbie).  I am about to watch my students play basketball and will hopefully use some of these terms today. I went to the confucious site and might even get to referee!!!

I'm guessing that 互相 sounds more native than saying "我们一起":"We together".  Is there a major difference between these two?

I learned this reflexive bit by being a big brother to the gals in my last office.  I would grab my colleagues hand and make force them to lightly hit themselves over and over and said “不要自己打” (It's a trick my big brother used to do to me when I was younger in English).  I was quickly corrected that it should be: "不要打自己"...so I was able to 虐待 with correct grammar. 

Thanks for the useful words of sorrow and pain!
