It's well established that Americans prefer some of the greatest distance of 'personal space' of any nationality. This is true between family, friends and strangers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_contact_and_personal_space_in_the_United_States Note, however, that evidence suggests that caucasian americans particularly prefer larger berth, whereas african americans tend to be comfortable at closer distances. http://www.jstor.org/pss/2786341 Personally?

With the exception of "cotton gin," the word "gin" is virtually never used in modern english to mean "trap." If you still want to use it for it's classic flavor, use it like a synonym: "He set up gins and traps in our way." But if you want to make a metaphor, use something more abstract: "He fashioned the obstacle of traps in our way." ...but with this wording, I would reverse it: "The traps in our way were obstacles of his design."

"Rodents" means 鼠类, it refers to the animals themselves. If you're talking about the PROBLEM of having lots of rodents around, you use "infestation."
