- It's perfectly OK to mix simple present tense and past tense together as long as they are correctly used. e.g., What you wrote is wrong. This is totally acceptable. I think your both versions are grammatically correct although implying different facts. The usage must then follow the context accordingly. Probably the author doesn't know what happened to the boy and the girl later, so the only thing the author was sure is that the boy "liked" her. My personal idea : ) Hope it helps and please correct me if I am wrong.0 votedJuly 31, 20152
- Other guys pretty much concluded it. But I want to point out that "gasoline" and "oil" shared the character "油", as gasoline, or gas, is 汽油(Volatile Oil) and "Oil" is any oily fluid. When people say "add oil", the equivalent translation should be "add gas". You can picture adding gas to a car will support all its functions. Hope this helps you to visualize this term.0 votedJuly 30, 20150
- LOL looks like many of these answers are incorrect. They are not interchangeable. "Many" can only be used to countable nouns. For example, He has many dogs. You can count dogs (1, 2, 3, etc.) But you can't say "He drinks many water." Water is not countable. Do you count water 1, 2, 3? (you need to use classifier here, like a drop of water, two tons of water, etc.) The word "much" can describe the uncountable nouns. "Love you so much." You don't say "Love you so many." Love is an emotion that's uncountable. Therefore, for the previous example, you can say "He drinks a lot of water." "A lot of" can be used for both countable and uncountable nouns.0 votedJuly 28, 20150
- First, where did you get this name? In China or Japan, last name comes the first but in English speaking country, this name will probably be Liwei Yi. There's also a last name Yi in Chinese. If you can't get the Hanzi then you don't know which character it is, and hence the meaning of it. Yes, then you can only make guesses or match randomly.0 votedJuly 28, 20154
- I speak both English and Chinese very well and I think I am able to help with the questions here. What does mean 我的烟还能抽到下星期。 sentence in English? Answer: “我的烟还能抽到下星期” means “my ciggratees can be smoked until next week”. But this doesn’t make quite sense. The closest version in English, i.e., better translation, would be “my ciggarates will last until next week.” Note that it does NOT indicate any day. The endpoint can be on Monday next week or Sunday next week as long as it’s in the next week. 为什么从下星期开始呢? Why next week? It depends on the context. I will make an example here: A:”Hey, do I need to buy you some more ciggrattes?” B:”No, thanks! Mine will last until next week.” But B will be leaving next week so he can’t take the ciggrattes with him on the trip. Therefore, B:” because I will be gone next week, if I don’t finish these by next week, they would all be wasted!” 13_What does mean就叫人骑走了In this sentence in English? Does it means someone steal the bicycle?? 我刚买了一辆自行车,就叫人骑走了。 Answer: The exact translation is: I just bought a bike, and it got ridden away by someone. 骑=ride. Ridden is the past participle of ride. Because it’s past participle tense. So, that’s why we have 叫 in this sentence. 叫 is equivalent to “被” here. It gives the past participle. 叫 in most cases means yell, shout or ask. Due to there’s a “就” in the sentence, which implies that a turning point or cause effect. Therefore the sentence means “I just bought a bike, and it’s ridden away by someone.” If you want to say “I just bought a bike and asked someone to ride it away.” It would be without “就”. - 我刚买了一辆自行车,叫人骑走了。0 votedJuly 28, 20150
- First off, it's perfect to say 你弹吉他多长时间了? "时间" means "time". So it's equivalent to say "How much time have you played guitar?" 久 means long. So the perfect translation of "...how long..." is actually "...多久..." "...how much time..." is "...多长时间..." Just like in English, you can also ask "how many years have you been playing guitar." (你弹吉他多少年了?) Note that you used "have been playing guitar" which is the present perfect continuous tense. For perfect translation, you need to add some words in it. But Chinese speaking in daily life is not that strict. People will understand it. If you want the detail about the tense compatible with English, that's whole another story.0 votedJuly 27, 20151
