Profile
This is Yvonne God (yup this is my surname, thanks to my non-English/French speaking grandparents, a French hospital and the tolerance of the then Colonial Hong Kong government). I was born in China, moved to Hong Kong at 15, and arrived Monash for the Master of Education at 30. As a result, I speak fluent Chinese Mandarin and Cantonese, and do pretty well in academic English (for benchmark, I have got 8 in IELTS), but have a huge blank in daily life issues. Try to fill it up with the help of italki.

    老吾老以及人之老,幼吾幼以及人之幼? not exactly the direct translation. this means taking care of elderly of others as how you take care of your own, looking after children of others as how you look after your own.

    由于相关讨论愈演愈烈,访客有可能在与政府官员会面时针对该议题提问。 1) 由于 is similar to because 2) 相关讨论 is actually a simplified version of 相关(于该议题 the topic) 讨论 (its more like discussion then debate here) 3) 愈演愈烈 literally means there are and more and more heat (in the debate), 烈 can mean 热烈,演 is 演变 evolve, 愈...愈.. means more and more, similar to 越...越 (延烧 is not a chinese word? though I know what you mean) 4) it is more common to say 访客 instead of 访宾 for guest 5) 会见 is more neutral than 拜会, the former can mean meet with each other, while the later always means lower level to higher level. 6) government official is more like 政府官员. On the other hand, 政府高层 means high rank officials 7) 有可能 represents a slightly higher possibility than 不排除, so depends on the context. E.g. if it's about 50%, then 有可能, if it's like 20%, then 不排除 Hope can help a bit~~:)

    Gone with the Wind.  Actually the English dialect used in the novel is a bit tricky for me, but love the characters!  I think Scarlett O'hara is such a beautiful woman, not only the appearance but her personality.  Not like she's perfect, but that's what makes her adorable.  Although she's almost constantly being mad at Melanie, Aunt Pittypat, father and many other people nearby, she's always trying to be a good person.  I do think she and Rhett are ideal matches and wish at some point after the ending they had got back together!!
