- First, the Pinyin of "中文" needn't be capitalized. It should be "zhōngwén" because it is just an ordinary noun in Chinese, I guess. Second, the word "一直" should be read as "yìzhí" rather than "yīzhí". The character "一" can be read as yī, yí and yì. The high-level tone "yī" only shows when "一" is used as a cardinal or a ordinal. Third, your first sentence "我一直在学习中文。" is grammatically correct. However, this sentence can express two meanings: "I am learning Chinese now and I didn't do other things since I started learning." or "I have been learning Chinese for a period of time and maybe now I am not learning." So maybe you need some extra adverbs of time. Your second sentence "我一直学习中文。" is also grammatically correct. But it lacks for something to tell others what's going on so it makes people confused. You can be understood but native Chinese speakers won't say it like this. You need to add something to express a complete information. For example, you may say "我一直学习中文,却毫无进步。" (Wǒ yìzhí xuéxí zhōngwén, què háowú jìnbù., I have been learning Chinese for a long time but it didn't seem to be improved at all.)0 votedNovember 28, 20160
- First you should know "必胜客" (bì shèng kè) is the official Chinese name of Pizza Hut like 肯德基 (kěn dě jī) of KFC. Then I guess you must know what does 剩男/剩女 mean. 剩 (shèng) means “remaining; left" in Chinese so 剩男/剩女 refers to those men/women who are over 25 years old but still single or unmarried. Another new word for you: 剩客 (shèng kè). It is a general joint name of 剩男 and 剩女. Clever Chinese netizens classified them into 4 groups. 25 years old to 27 years old ones are 初级剩客(chū jí shèng kè, junior single dogs). These people still have courage and are struggling to find their love so they are also called "剩斗士" (shèng dòu shì, original word "圣斗士" comes from a famous Japanese comic Saint Seiya. "斗士" literally means fighter). 28 to 31 years old ones are classified as 中级剩客(zhōng jí shèng kè, middle single dogs). These people are so busy in their job so they have no spare time to meet and date someone. They are also called "必剩客" (comes from 必剩客, literally means someone who must be remained). 32 to 36 years old ones are 高级剩客(gāo jí shèng kè, senior single dogs). They survived their cruel workplace but they are still single. They are called "斗战剩佛" (dòu zhàn shèng fó, original word "斗战胜佛" is the title of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King). Those people who are over 36 years old are classified as 特级剩客(tè jí shèng kè, grand single dogs) and called "齐天大剩" (comes from 齐天大圣, another title of Sun Wukong. 齐天 literally means "equal as the sky") for no other special reason. Now you must know the differences between 必剩客 and 剩女. Just like the differences between a chick and a hen. How to use: These words belong to Chinese network languages, can be used to refer to yourself or anyone else. Basically they are not offensive. e.g. 我是个没人要的剩女,呜呜呜。(Wǒ shì gè méirényào de shèngnǚ, wūwūwū.) 他是一个黄金剩斗士。(Tā shì yí gè huángjīn shèngdòushì. "黄金剩斗士" refers to a rich one, especially a man.) 你现在还不打算找女朋友,将来是想做必剩客吗?(Nǐ xiànzài hái bù dǎsuàn zhǎo nǚpéngyǒu, jiānglái shì xiǎng zuò bìshèngkè ma?)0 votedNovember 28, 20161
- 1. All three sentences are acceptable. However, the third one is more formal because its syntactic structure is standard "subject + predicate + object + 吗?". "有……(卖)吗?" is more common in oral Chinese. 2. "要" can be translated as want, need, must, have to, etc. depending on context. "Work overtime" is not a plan or a wish of the subject, so "要" here means "have to". If it is your plan or your wish, you can say "这个周末我又想要加班" instead. 3. "会" can be used to express possibility so you can say "如果我有很多钱,我(就)会去美国。" Attention! Chinese grammar never includes tenses and moods, so Ada's answer has a logic mistake which "如果…… 就…… " is a pair of connection words(关联词)in Chinese rather than "would" will be translated as "就会" just due to subjunctive mood. If you use "如果" you have to use "就" as well. "就" can be omitted. I believe you must know literal translation and free translation. Obviously "Without a belt, the pants would be too loose." belongs to free translation. "松" can be literally translated as "loose", but I guess "loose" doesn't always mean in a bad way in English. However, as a adjective, 松 usually means in a uncomfortable way in Chinese. (We use 宽松 to express loose and comfortable.) e.g. 我感觉这条裤子有点儿松。(I think the pants are a little loose.) 这件体恤衫很宽松,我很喜欢。(This T-shirt is very loose and I like it very much.) So it says "too loose" to translate "松" accurately.0 votedNovember 28, 20160
