    Hi Yusuke, this is a great question! Both are grammatically correct and make sense. To me, "3 years later" just sounds better in your sentence. Sorry that my answer couldn't be better!

    I would really appreciate it if someone could translate the following sentence into Mandarin Chinese for me:

    My pronunciation is good but my vocabulary is limited.

    Can I have HanZi and Ping Ying, please?

    As I get older, it gets more difficult to loose weight and stay in shape.

    Yes, you are correct. Sometimes finding out some new information can cause sadness, which is what makes you not want to know something.

    Hi Priscilla, great question! "carved-out block of time" simply means scheduled time. This text is talking about scheduling time to relax and go see a movie. Another way you could use this expression is to say: "I am very busy tomorrow, but I can carve-out some time to have tea with you." You can see that it really means the same thing as "schedule". This expression is certainly used in American English, but I am not sure how common it is in other English speaking countries.

    Hi Tanya, great question!

    The text is saying that Galileo made a discovery that disproved (upended) the theories that were generally accepted at the time of his discovery.

    "then-current" is how you talk about something that used to be up to date (current) at a time in the past. In this case, we are talking about the theories that were current as of 1610.

    This is tricky because we are talking about something that used to be current.

    Hi Jean, great question! The big difference is between explore and probe is what you are investigating. People explore places like a city, country, ocean, a mine, or another planet. Tools like medical instruments, cameras, sensors, or robots usually probe things. For example, a doctor would use medical device to probe a patient's tumor. More simply put: people explore and tools are used to probe. More often than not, you explore a place and you probe an object. This can be very tricky because it is correct to say: "The scientist used an underwater robot to explore the bottom of the ocean". In this example, a tool that is investigating, however it is the scientist who is exploring. I would like to stress that my answer is not perfect, but it is useful.
