your esteemed university?
Chinese people love using phrases like “贵校”, "令堂", "鄙人不才" to sound polite and modest. My question is, if rendered into English, is it ok to keep the intended politeness and modesty by saying "your esteemed university", "your respected mother" and "my humble self"? Or shall we simply say "your university", "your mother" and "I"?
To be honest, "your esteemed university" sounds a bit weird to me. So please I am looking forward to some native speakers' opinions. Thanks a million.

Anyone interested is welcome. Hope it won't be an issue to figure out how Skype works. I am a total SOFTWARE idiot.

how can we translate “学习委员” into English that actually makes sense？
It has been bothering me for years. How can some terms with Chinese characteristics like 学习委员 be translated into English that actually makes sense? Many suggest "commissary in charge of studies". But i doubt native English speakers will make head or tail of it.
somebody please help me out. Thank you!

日本語はとても好きです。暇があったら、漫画を読んだり、アニメを見たりします。残念ながら、なかなか上手になれません。うちの会社の周りは日本人はたくさんいるんので、時々エレベータで日本人に会えます。彼らの会話は速すぎのせいか、50パーセンしか理解できません。アニメのなら、９０パーセンまで聞くことはできますのに。あぁ～やっぱりアニメと現実は違いますってがっかりしてます私。皆様、これからどうもよろしくお願いします。m(_ _)m
