Then how about your last question? -birdincage(birdincage); 2001.7.24 21:54 (#143612)

我的答案：CCDDC，我的理由： -greenfish(greenfish); 2001.7.24 21:58 (552 bytes. #143623)

不是教授，只发表意见。问题4用will 表示一种通常的情况，和时态没有关系。同意2是c. 问题3用单数就表示一个中国人了。问题5，少雨；雨是不可数名词，所以是a. -birdincage(birdincage); 2001.7.24 22:20 (#143662)

继续探讨（我是一个比较固执的人，西西）：3. 因为中国文化（你看宾语的主要词是culture）是一个整体，不能认为是“中国人”，就象这个词你不会认为它是”中文“等别的意思一样。5.”少雨“所以应该是C。 -greenfish(greenfish); 2001.7.24 23:50 (#143795)

少是a little； little 是否定，没有雨。问题3，关于表示全体中国人，应该没什么讨论的, native 愿意是单数就是单数，愿意是复数数就是复数。 -birdincage(birdincage); 2001.7.24 23:56 (#143802)

thansk, but what does it mean? -qiuqiu(秋秋); 2001.7.23 22:14 (#142335)

It means "you go first, and I follow you." -jabber(jabber); 2001.7.24 09:02 (#142756)

O I C, thanks. -qiuqiu(秋秋); 2001.7.24 10:33 (#142884)

Is it 'apres vous' or aprez vous' in french? -guest:guest; 2001.7.23 22:48 (#142387)

Sorry for typos...thank you. -jabber(jabber); 2001.7.24 12:58 (#143068)

hi, Jabber, is it because "after you" is too formal so it sounds exaggerating and funny? -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2001.7.24 09:27 (#142786)

我到加拿大可能第一句跟老外讲的话就是这句，因为他给我开门，我得跟着他走, 他又示意我先走, 我就说了这么一句话, 然后他说：OK, 但是表情有点宠若受惊。是不是这句话一般用于仆人对主人说的话之类的？ -miketany(kat); 2001.7.24 11:45 (#142965)

等JABBER解释一下.我问LG, 他说比较少人这么说, 比较FORMAL. 他的语法可比我差多了,主谓宾,状语从句,他都没有我清楚. 说不过我了, 就说, WE DON'T TALK LIKE THAT. -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2001.7.24 12:12 (#142994)

Yes, "After you" is formal. If we use it in the everyday life, it is sort of exaggerating. You have a good sense of language. -jabber(jabber); 2001.7.24 12:57 (#143063)

那应该怎么说呢? -vivianwang(纤云); 2001.7.24 13:00 (#143070)

" Ahead me, please " -guest:; 2001.7.24 13:35 (#143108)

Thank you. (Though I am not a lady.) A question: I always heard Canadian people say "thank you" in a rising tone while I used to say it in a falling tone. Then how do you think of it? -chef(兰州拉面); 2001.7.19 23:27 (#138215)

As far as I know, front-desk ladies like to say "thank you" in a rising tone. -jabber(jabber); 2001.7.20 21:50 (#139305)

Things are different for younger generation now. I saw a little girl of 6 said thank you to her mother for trivial things here in Shanghai --- it looks like a very natural response for her to whatever others do for her. -birdincage(birdincage); 2001.7.20 01:11 (#138366)

Please don't take my remarks seriously. I just wanted to take this site as an example to practice the word "user-friendly". -jabber(jabber); 2001.7.20 21:57 (#139315)

I think user-friendly is not used IT area only, it can cover all applications that are easy to use. Also, we can extend this structure to other occasion, like environment-friendly etc. -zenith168(Zenith); 2002.7.17 14:06 (#641973)

Thanks! Interesting. Maybe couples finger point, not only the Chinese :) Seems 'finger' has something to do with quite a few phrases such as finger cross...and finger itself is not a good one. It would be great if you -found(BeeGee); 2001.7.16 17:53 (77 bytes. #134116)

I still couldn’t figure out what exactly finger-pointing mean :-( I can guess the rough meaning of it by your posts, but I don’t think I can use it properly because I don’t know the tone and attitude of the speaker. -birdincage(birdincage); 2001.7.17 03:57 (64 bytes. #134763)

The Anglo-saxon language, namely English, is originated from German, which is a main branch of Latin, French is developed directly from Latin, thus the English and French are not related lingustically speakly -guest:Slim Piggy; 2001.7.5 00:35 (#120510)

Dear rounder, where did you copy that paper? The author claimed he majored English in China, but his writings disproved himself. -jabber(jabber); 2001.5.16 17:22 (#72452)

I can prove this by picking on all your previous posts but that's not the point, coz I think you wrote a lot things that are helpful to others; even IF I did copied anything, so long as it helps other friends here, so what? -rounder(rounder); 2001.5.25 17:17 (#73266)

you can say " Can I have a medium(small, large) drink" instead of " I want a coca(扣可)", because you can choose any drink you like by yourself. I've never been to the Canadian Mcdonald's before, but i think it's more similar with the America's. -ingrid(樱桃); 2001.4.23 17:42 (119 bytes. #51778)
