- The other answers are correct, the meaning is "we don't need any education". Normally a sentence like this is considered incorrect grammar, but for informal use, English grammar rules are often broken. When a native speaker hears this kind of double negative, we may think the speaker is less educated, or from a lower social class. But, like in the Pink Floyd song, it can be a choice that makes the speaker sound more defiant or rebellious.0 votedMay 26, 20201
- 180305 - Скоро я буду тридцать лет Скоро я буду тридцать лет. Недавно я думала о чём буду делать как карьера. Пять лет назад я знала, что я хотела сделать со своей жизнью; сейчас я менее уверена. Когда я была ребёнок, я хотела быть палеонтолога, и открывать динозавры. Позже я хотела быть химика. Как я взрослела, мой интерес к науки ослаб. Я открыла, что я не умеею заканчивать свои проекты. Я только стала сама себе неэффективный консультант по вопросам управления. Я не хочу умирать не разобравшемся с этим вещей. English: Soon I will be thirty years old. Recently I have been thinking about what I will do for a career. Five years ago I knew what I wanted to do with my life; now I am less sure. When I was a child, I wanted to be a paleontologist and discover dinosaurs. Later I wanted to be a chemist. As I grew older, my interest in sciences waned. I discovered that I am not good at finishing my own projects. I only became my own ineffective management consultant. I don't want to die without figuring out these things. ['Management consultant' is not literal... it is a metaphor about managing my own life. I don't know if this translates well.]March 6, 201852
- 'The' is not used for 'uncountable' nouns, like water, or in this example, nature. 'I have one water' is wrong and has no meaning because you cannot count water; is it the same with nature. However, 'universe' is countable! even though there is only one (that we are aware of!) It is the only universe, but it is a discrete entity, so we can count it, and it does take the article 'the'. For the same reason we use 'the' when talking about 'the Internet' - there is only one, but it is countable - but we don't use 'the' with the word 'cyberspace', which refers to the concept of an area where computers operate the Internet, and is not countable.0 votedOctober 15, 20172
- This is a very strange sentence, and it is nearly impossible to know the meaning without seeing more context. However, I was able to find the context, a short piece of writing on this page of this book: https://books.google.com/books?id=_-PzdXhnhLIC&pg=PA158 In this piece, the author is talking about the long and difficult process a writer may take from a small and vague inspiration all the way to a completed book. So the author is using 'yeast' in a very artistic and unusual way - I have never seen the word used like this before - to mean 'inspiration', for writing, in this case. This was only clear to me from reading the entire paragraph, which is about authors who write a book then still can't get the details of their story out of their head, like there is something about their own writing they still haven't discovered. The literal meaning of 'yeast' is a substance used that is necessary to make bread. So here, 'yeast' is a metaphor: in the same way that yeast is used at the beginning to eventually create bread, an inspiration is necessary at the beginning to eventually write a book. The way that the 'yeast' (or inspiration) outlives the book, is when the author cannot move on from the ideas in the book, and they become an obsession. Again, this is not obvious from that one sentence alone. Reading the entire paragraph was necessary for understanding this one sentence.0 votedOctober 15, 20171
- 171014 В начале августа я переехала в новый дом. Сейчас я живу с подругой и её матерью. Матери моей подруги любит меня как своя дочь, и она думает, что я более сознательная чем её дочери. Она надеется, что я буду хорошем влиянием. Она ещё не поняла, что моя жизнь как безалаберная и бесцельная. Скоро она найдёт, что у меня такая жизнь — причина, почему я живу в её доме. английский текст: At the beginning of August I moved into a new house. Now I am living with a friend and her mother. My mother's friend loves me like a daughter, and she thinks I am more responsible than her own daughter. She hopes I will be a good influence. She hasn't realized yet that my life is so disorganized and aimless. Soon she will discover that having such a life is why I am living in her house.October 15, 201770
The first month of my college life .
Recently, I have been busy participating in various kinds of school organizations, including broadcasting and magazine organizations(with 'recently' it is better to use the past imperfect tense with 'have')
I'll try my best to improve myself in this university.
('Enrich' is not usually a verb one does to oneself, so I changed it)
Although I don't like some classes, especially advanced mathematics ,I won't give up easily.
('Pretty' does not fit in this sentence. Sometimes 'pretty' can be an intensifier, like 好 in 好热, but this only works before 形容词)
Sometimes I miss my grandparents, sisters, and brothers a lot, so when I do, I usually look through their photographs .
(You used 'sometimes' and 'usually' in the same sentence - this is okay! but if you do, each 'time word' has to be part of a phrase that could be a complete sentence by itself.)
I love writing, which will be how I spend the majority of my free time, but I realize that I have no words to write down over time.
('Writing' is not equal to 'time', so we add this 'how' phrase in the middle. There is no grammar problem with the end of this sentence, but I am not sure what it means.)
I extremely scared of this situation, therefore I read as many books as I can these days to keep my enthusiasm for writing, open my mind, and practice my study skills, which are enormously important to me.
(more: 更多, many: 许多; the word 'enthusiasm' is usually used with the preposition 'for', and 'cogitation' is a very rare technical word from psychology, 'to open (one's) mind' is a common way to express this idea.)
In addition, I found a serious problem: that I spend a lot of time on my makeup.
('Making up' has so many different meanings, this sentence was not clear I guessed that your meaning was 妆化.)
faced with this situation , I really don't know how to deal with it .
(The phrase 'faced with' fits better if there is an action verb after the comma. Your sentence us fine and clear, but a simpler way would be to say 'I really don't know how to deal with this situation.')
I hope I can improve my efficiency in all aspects to adjust to college life better !

'We're having a bit of a rough patch.' (Usually this is used in the context of a romantic relationship or marriage.) 'We aren't speaking right now.' (If the two people involved are literally not speaking.) Then, you gave some sentences about refusing to be quiet. 'Don't quieten me.'/'Don't make me quiet.' (I would not use these two, it does not sound natural.) 'Don't shut me up.' (This is the least formal way to say this, like if you want to be somewhat rude in order to get the listener's attention.) 'Don't silence me.' (This is a more formal way to express the same thing. This sentence has a feeling of fighting against oppression.) 'Don't quiet me.' (I wouldn't use this in formal writing, but from the sentences you listed, this is the most 'ordinary' way to express this idea.) Other sentences that carry the same idea: 'Don't shush me.' (Although 'shush' sounds a bit old-fashioned.) 'Don't tell me to be quiet.' (This may be the most common way to express this idea: use the other person's words to make a sentence telling them not to use those words.)0 votedOctober 15, 20170
