Profile
Although I am an ordinary college student, I have a heart of enthusiasm to study the delicacy of language, no matter it is my mother tougue or an adopted one, even the computer language is not excepted. I would like to endow English the top study priority and Japanese the second. Hope we have nice friendship with each other.

- Hi, I guess you are looking for advice on how to improve your oral English, aren't you? I would like to suggest to you that practice makes perfect. Do not consider there should be an easier way in the first place! Because it would impair your endurance and patience. But there are helpful advices like the above. However, if you don't practice only because you think it is not an easier way, then no advice would help you. Try to think in this way, even you don't know any shortcut in speaking English, but you can eventually speak nice English, can't you? Personally, I think patience and confidence are enough. My opinions are all open to debates.0 votedJune 16, 20090
- What does "for" mean at the head of a sentence? I have for many times seen sentences which start with "For". For example, "For as long as people have vied for sporting glory, they have also sought shortcuts to the champion's rostrum." I think it is ok to cover the meaning without "For" at the head, but people must use it for a reason, so can you tell me why? THX..August 22, 200830
- I have searched the internet, but the results may be not as expected. There are many equivalent expressions according to this meaning. As it is below, all of them can be translated into "吃力不讨好". 不讨好的:thankless 她扮演了一个受累不讨好的角色。 She played a thankless role. 费力不讨好的工作 an unthankful task 费力不讨好的工作 a thankless job. 费力不讨好的事一项具有一个荒谬或毁灭性结果的代价很高的任务 A costly undertaking having an absurd or ruinous outcome. 老板总是让我干吃力不讨好的活。 The boss always leaves me to do all the dirty work. 干费力不讨好的事 be a fool to oneself However, there are still some inspiring expressions. Here they are. 吃力不讨好 do a hard but thankless job; carry owls to Athens "carry owls to Athens" means just the same as "in vain" because Athens is prolific of owls.0 votedAugust 13, 20080
- Believing in God is an very usual way human deals with mystery. When we are confronted with something unknown, we would prone to believe in what others believe. However, it is all voluntary. No one should be blamed or laughed at for what he or she believes. This topic belongs to ideology and we will meet no conclusion until god presents itself. I mean absolutely no offense to all of you and respect points from both sides. Hope you will respect mine as a neutral.0 votedAugust 12, 20080
- Language learning demands deligency and devotion. Chinese is no exception. Practically there are no shortcuts unless you have a superior memory. You should keep using it before it may slip away. Better training methods can be conversing with native speakers, watching native TV shows and so on, but be selective as they can be way affecting your progress.0 votedAugust 10, 20080
- What is the specific meaning of "Not if I can help it"? I am translating the lines in Pride & Prejudice into Chinese. Here comes Mr. Darcy's saying "Not if I can help it". Would somebody give me some information about this sentence's meaning and usage? Much better if somebody gives the Chinese meaning~THX! ^_^August 9, 200810
- Your first priority should still come for formal English. It is like the relationship between adult and children. Adult is mature than children, so formal English is more systematic than slang. It is all right you learn and use some slangs when in a casual talk with your friends, but least include them into your writings. All in all, learn them separately and try to avoid messing with each other.0 votedAugust 7, 20080
