December 16, 2008 at 8:34 AMHi Light487 ！
We saw your unanswered comment on 27 October 2008 ( Newbie lesson :How is the weather? )
"好啊 "跟 "好儿" do not sound identical.
" 好儿" is not the Beijing accent for "好啊"
好儿 has the following meanings:-
1. favor;kindness (恩惠)
eg. 人家过去对咱有过好儿,咱不能忘恩负义
2. good;benefit (好处)
eg. 这事要是让他知道了,还会有你的好儿
3. kindregards (指问好的话)
eg. 见着你母亲,给我带个好儿
4. 好儿好女 ( good son and good daughter)

PS We think 鲁克 is a good Chinese name for you
鲁 is a Chinese surname, so 鲁克 sounds very Chinese

朱琦老师潘吉老师您们好！ 办公室政治
是不是“外来语”
课程内容牵扯
办公室内手腕权术，党派关系
英文
office politics 说起来很自然
但是用汉语说起来时对我来说好像有点生硬 除了用“政治”这个词
还可以使用别的吗？

I saw your question posted 2 days ago. Here is the answer:
The wonderful mixture is called 鸳鸯(Yuan1 Yang1) or 鸳鸯 奶茶(Yuan1 Yang1 Nai3 Cha2)
It was first "invented" in HongKong in about 1952 by a cafe(兰芳园) owner
and has since become very popular with the locals.
鸳鸯 奶茶 is made up of 70% tea 30% coffee.
Apparently, 有很多老外都喜欢这个饮品。
鸳鸯has the following original meanings:
1. Mandarin duck
2. An affectionate couple

PS. You must have migrated to America before the mixture was invented, right?

December 9, 2008 at 8:26 AM嗨！ Sunix同学您好！
你第一句："我每月会给壹基金提供1元钱的捐献从我的手机"
你试试这样说：
"我每月会从我的手机给壹基金提供1元的捐款"
1元钱：说1元 就可以
捐献=donate,donation 捐款=the amount of money donated
第二句：
"犹如看donnie yen(甄子丹)的影片，都是去电影院一样。"
是不是这个意思：
"犹如支持甄子丹一样 我会去电影院看他的影片"

December 16, 2008 at 1:33 PM嗨 潘光明您好！
We think this Chinese name suits you much better.
你可以说：John P与你是"同宗"( of the same clan, have common ancestry )
Both of you have the same surname "潘", although he is from America and you are from down under.
Good name！！！
