Activities
- 1) 类型 most nearly means categories. I'm not too good at recognizing characters by themselves since I'm probably better at speaking, so I can't really answer what 般 is unless I had an example of its use. 2) 被 means by someone else, so a passive action. 一辈子 means forever/lifetime/always. It类 means "this quality of". So the last clause could be read as "some people are even swindled for their lifetime." It could probably be read more easily as 有些人一辈子被骗了, which means "some people are for their lifetime swindled," which actually sounds more fluid in Chinese. The reason why the author chose to use 类 is likely because of 甚至, so their would have been too much 'bloat' in front of lifetime, i.e. "some people are even for their lifetime swindled," which sounds awkward in both English and Chinese.

- Listen to some Asian music. Despite being of Chinese ethnicity, I've been able to pick up Japanese pinyin (for the most part) just from listening to songs. Imagine how the singers' mouths are moving when they pronounce the word and try to form it yourself. Korean pinyin is a whole another ballgame.0 votedNovember 27, 20100
