请教大家，1。preferred stock 和common stock是不是分别译为优先股和普通股？这两者到底有何区别？？ -lisa66(风吹雪); 2001.11.5 04:59 (391 bytes. #249133)

不敢乱说, 回答这个问题不老兄和激昂, 或九兄都比本猪合使, 本猪不太想相信语言天份这个概念, 我相信想找捷镜的懒人任何事都干不好, 例如在六个月内考个CPA之流 -slimpiggy(瘦猪犹如插翅虎); 2001.11.4 18:42 (#248487)

呵呵，瘦猪，干嘛有话不到那个贴子上去说，我可想听听你的见解呢。还有Cute，请问激昂关于背课文的贴子是多少号，我想学习学习,谢谢！ -cherry126(尚影); 2001.11.4 19:04 (#248509)

Okay, here are some feedbacks, the pass rate of the exam is 7% in some states, why do you think that is? People simply aren't prepared -slimpiggy(瘦猪犹如插翅虎); 2001.11.4 19:35 (#248544)

大家觉得来加拿大多长时间英语就能没有障碍了？当然我说的是得天天学习的那种。没有障碍指的是自如的运用，和完全的理解。5年够吗？ -pandora(Sarah); 2001.11.1 17:19 (#245482)

你对中文可以“自如运用，完全理解”了吗？ -pmer(pmer); 2001.11.1 17:22 (#245484)

如果不是的话，我说了二十多年的中文还不累死我。我的意思是，什么时候说英语不累了，这就是我的标准。 -pandora(Sarah); 2001.11.1 17:26 (#245486)

5年肯定不够，文化背景差的太远。 -luoboyang(萝卜秧); 2001.11.1 17:30 (#245492)

5年可能差不多了。我一个朋友的哥哥来了10多年了，他的观点：如果5年以后英语是什么样就是什么样了，再也提不上去了。他说英语肯定不累，专业会计工作毫无问题，但他说他永远理解不了某些幽默，这些幽默背景是从少年时培养的。 -kevin2000(流星雨-人生在于折腾); 2001.11.1 17:34 (#245497)

那我要以他为榜样。我明白，语言是一回事，没有文化背景，说的再好也不行。别说在加拿大，就是和中国人，有时开个玩笑都不一定能听懂那。 -pandora(Sarah); 2001.11.1 17:45 (#245507)

你敢说“我中文没问题“。。。？：-） -luoboyang(萝卜秧); 2001.11.1 17:55 (#245516)

算我要求太严格了，改成：我想表达什么，都能用英文表达，就象能用中文表达一样轻松。这样的话，你敢站出来了吗？ -pandora(Sarah); 2001.11.1 17:58 (#245517)

I used to think that it would take 3-5 years. However, I've realized that language learning is a life time thing, especially when I speak with native English speakers. -alan01(alan01); 2001.11.1 20:00 (#245612)

最简单的方法还是那句话,找个外国人做男朋友或者老公, 那样的话,你有大概一辈子的时间可以去练习英文, 想不牛度不行. 不过你好像没戏了:P 另外找个同性的外国人做朋友也可以,不过即使她再好,你也会觉得她和你不能沟通. -ingrid(樱桃); 2001.11.1 21:49 (#245783)

文化背景的差异我不强求，我只能单纯的要求语言。而且我认为发音很重要，可是好多人不重视发音和语调，不明白为什么。 -pandora(Sarah); 2001.11.3 01:20 (#247358)

发音和语调当然重要，但对成年人，要想没口音几乎不可能。所以努力的方向因放在词汇上，特别是会说能写的主动词汇。如果老是简单句，翻来覆去就那几个词，应付日常生活还凑合，要作PRESENTATION 就不行了。 -dilbert(UCD); 2001.11.5 18:41 (64 bytes. #249657)

估计瘦猪是看不懂什么叫断句吧。在读的时候通过调节各个词语声调的高低和语速的快慢，而突出句子里的中心和重点，让人一听就明白句子的意思，这就是断句的用法。 -guoguo(爱雪的猪); 2001.8.29 19:00 (#183821)

指点：断句的目的不是为了突出什么。中国人往往过于强调突出“中心”、“重点”，结果读出来象中国话。断句的目的是为了省力，掌握节奏的目的是为了好听。 -rollar(Rollor); 2001.8.29 23:00 (#184093)

还有这样的区别？！我还从没想过，也没人教过。不愧是专业人士，一点就中。 -guoguo(爱雪的猪); 2001.8.30 00:08 (#184261)

英文有断句，有节奏起伏，但如果像中文一样，读出来就不像英文了。学习方法：一方面用我所说的跟读法，另一方面，让英语好的人指点一下。 -rollar(Rollor); 2001.8.29 15:37 (#183558)

thanks. i will do so. -guoguo(爱雪的猪); 2001.8.29 16:09 (#183629)

读英文时一般按意群，即用文字符号表示的‘意思群’。除了标点符号外，意群之间稍有间隔；在单个意群中又要注意重音。重音一般在重点词之上，加上其他非重音一起读‘一拍’长度的时（间）值。 -guest:; 2001.8.29 23:29 (#184166)

???????????太专业的定义，想必是文科出身？俺看不太懂。 -guoguo(爱雪的猪); 2001.8.30 00:07 (#184259)

可能是我没有解释清楚。我回去找找参考书，然后再抽时间给你写一下基本要领。你的名字我记住了。 -guest:; 2001.8.30 00:33 (#184288)

先谢了。不过，您最后一句话前两天说会让我感动，现在嘛有点让我害怕。呵呵，JUST KIDDING。ANYWAY， THANKS FOR YOUR KINDLY HLEP。 -guoguo(爱雪的猪); 2001.8.30 01:18 (#184333)

知道我是文科出身就不必害怕（用GUEST身份发言无恶意）。电脑这鬼东西我实在搞不懂。 -guest:; 2001.8.30 01:37 (#184353)
