    I agree with much of what Ann said. A few additional points. In the US, "pardon me" and "excuse me" can be used interchangeably, but Americans rarely use the term "pardon" anymore. Using the term "forgive" is, like Ann suggested, used for more personal and/or serious situations. As for Chinese equivalents, "excuse me" roughly equates to "對不起" or "不好意思" in use and tone; "forgive me" would be closer to "見諒".

    I'm not sure that I would use 'pointless' in this case. I would probably say something like 此漢堡超誇張,吃不到一半就吃不下了. I always think of 誇張 as being so exaggerated to the point of being (implied) ridiculous.

    台北下雨天 此週末台北天氣很慘. 從早到晚都下雨. 都不想出去. 週末平常會跑外面運動,吃飯,等,但今天都留在家裏看電視 :( 希望下週天氣會好一點,總有一天太陽會出來.

    Frankly, you will probably do well either way. If you have an oppotunity to work for one of the major gloabl accounting firms, I would do that. It doesn't hurt to get some experience. You can always apply for graduate school later; that choice is always available to you. Good luck.

    直接翻譯就是"情愛的先生們". 但是我建議寫'Dear Sirs"聽來有點奇怪. 寫信時候我不會考慮用. It sounds weird and distant. 有點冷漠的感覺.

    Candice. I would recommend Shel Silverstein. His books are funny, and appropriate for children and adults alike. Look for the book "Where the Sidewalk Ends" ... a classic.

    感動, you can say emotionally "moved" or "touched" 失落 means lost.
