Activities
- Hi I just want to add some explanations.我明天会去美发店<s>师</s>剪<s>切</s>头发。in Chinese, we do not use "profession" + 's to refer to the business venuethe barber's/hairdresser's can be referred to as 发型屋、美发店、发廊or you can simply mention the profession: 找发型师理发/剪头发剪 and 切 both means "cut", but 剪 involves scissors while 切 involves knives我好期待,因为自从肺炎病毒出现后<s>开始开始</s>,美发店<s>师</s>都关门了,所以我没有机会去。开始 means the start of an event/action病毒 is not an action or event. We talk about its appearance "出现"除了去美发店<s>师</s>以外,我没有别的计划。算了(?),我最近开始<s>出发</s>打<s>做</s>两份<s>打</s>工作, 一<s>个</s>是帮助一个日本男的修改他写的英文文章,还有第二个是转录我声音为给一个俄罗斯的英语教育公司。-> 我最近开始打两份工作,第一份是帮助一个日本男生修改他写的英文文章,还有第二份是把我的声音转录下来,给一间俄罗斯的英语教育公司。出发 means "embark (on a journey)". Here we use "开始", "start working 2 jobs". "打两份工" is an action so it goes well with "开始". Besides 打两份工作, you can also say 做两份工作. Pay attention that we count 工作 with 份.男的 and 女的 is a colloquial (and slightly rude) way to refer to one/multiple male/female with unknown identity. I personally find it weird when these two words take a simple adjective modifier, but some people write that -> 日本的男的. To make things simpler, I suggest that you use more "neutral" alternatives -> 日本男生/日本男人重点 4,3:保护环境的重点就是人民的作动,比如;回收,重新用等等。-> 保护环境的重点是人们的行动,比如回收、再利用等等。When we talk about actions (as compared with thoughts), we say 行动. We use 再(次)利用 to say reuse.人民 sounds kind of political/official. A more daily/ordinary way to say "people" is 人们.相同 1,2: 他们的脸色一模一样,但是他们个性好像不太相同。脸色 is facial expression, or facial complexion in the context of psychological state or overall health condition. (Chinese medicine believes that facial complexion reflects overall health.) To say "facial appearance", we use “相貌”/“脸长得xxxx”, depending on how formal it is.0 votedJuly 28, 20201
- the word 還是 has two meanings: (1) still, and (2) (approximately) it's _____ that's _____ (usually something better)In the first case, it works like an adverb, and you put it after the subject/topic of the sentence or before the verb it modifiesFor example, 她还是不想来 She still doesn't want to come.Here, you are using it for its second meaning. We put this 还是 before the word(s) that you prefer/emphasizefor example, your 2nd sentence is:--> 夏天太熱,冬天太冷,還是秋天最舒服Summer is too hot. Winter is too cold. It's autumn that's most comfortable.See how it works?3. 你這個辦法太好了,別人都想不出來,還是____________--> 你這個辦法太好了,別人都想不出來,還是你比較聰明。4. 我病了,只有老王來我看,還是______________--> 我病了,只有老王來看我,<s>他</s>還是他關<s>係</s>心我。Here it is better translated as "he's the one who cares about me".5. . 那個房子一百多萬,我們都買不起。小陳買了,還是_____________。--> 那個房子一百多萬,我們都買不起。小陳買了,還是他比較有錢。0 votedJuly 26, 20200
- 想着今天的天气和虚拟现实今天早上有下雨,现在<s>暂停</s>停下来了。但是这么闷<s>闷</s>的天气让我<s>们</s>不想去外面呢。~ 暂停 means it stopped temporarily.~ Here we don't use 我们 if you are not talking about a specific group of people/特定の人間達.~ Another way to say 去(家的)外面 is 出门我希望日本的梅雨早点结束。我在家里看着外面的天气<s>在家里</s>想到了昨天的事。昨天我去了高科技节,<s>在那个地方</s>体验了XR的世界旅行。现代有很多加了R的生词,比方说VR,MR等等。我不太清楚它们的<s>这些</s>区别。~ or 这些词的区别 / 这些词有什么区别哈哈 我觉得用这种虚拟现实技术来体验旅行还蛮有趣的。体验的时候一方面我觉得这种<s>那个</s>技术将物体的立体感表现得非常好,另一方面我觉得它让我发现去旅行的好处是不仅仅能看到像现实一样的(?)建筑和菜的事(?),而且能<s>而是</s>感觉到<s>了</s>当地<s>那个地方</s>的空气,包括味道,温度和湿度,以及有没有风之类的自然环境。~ the default order is 虚拟现实技术表现物体的立体感. Here 物体的立体感 is moved before 表现, so we add a 将/把the basic rule goes: A + 动词 + B -> A + 把B + 动词 (but there are more rules about when you can use it)~ 像现实一样 means "like reality (but not reality)". When you go travelling,you see real buildings, not "like-real" buildings. So you need to say 看到真实的建筑~ 而是 forms a pair with 不是 in 不是……而是/...ではなく(て)...です。Here you'd want to use 而且~ do you mean "air" with 空气?其实高科技让我们能做的事情增加了,但<s>是还是</s>我们还是<s>有</s>不断有新的欲望 哈哈。这就<s>那种情况</s>像小猫追老鼠一样,我们不断地实现梦想<s>和</s>、满足欲望,但是一实现梦想就有别的欲望出现来,就这样一直追赶<s>的样子</s>。我希望以后可以再用虚拟现实技术体验到世界各国旅行,<s>再</s>感受到当地<s>那里</s>的自然环境。~ or are you trying to say: 我希望以后的虚拟现实技术能让我在体验前往世界各国旅行时,感受到当地的自然环境?0 votedJuly 26, 20203
- I just want to say something about "很多" (or some similar words but I can't enumerate right now)In Chinese when we use "很多", there is usually a visible or hidden noun for it to quantifyFor example:今晚妈妈煮了很多菜 Mum made a lot of dishes tonight/this evening上海有很多好玩的好吃的(东西) There are lots of fun things and delicious food in Shanghai我学到了很多(知识、道理) I learnt a lot.(I personally feel a faint sense of "foreignness" in the last example ... but people seem to be accepting it nowadays)In your sentence, it is impossible to put a noun after 去厕所 (in terms of grammar or the number of elements the verb 去 involves). Therefore you cannot put 很多 after it.What you are quantifying is the frequency of the action of 去厕所, so as Felicity pointed out, we add a 趟, which means "number of trips" and makes a good pair with 去. WIth some other verbs, we might use the word "次" (time).0 votedJuly 26, 20201
- 【请勿用英文,谢谢】进化论介绍查尔斯·达尔文1859年发行了一篇科学论文,给世界介绍所谓的进化论。这里我和冷浩岩的意见差不多。我想讲下“所谓的”。“所谓”的意思是“(说话人以外的)某某人所说的”,隐含有“说是有人这么说,并不一定是事实,我不一定承认”的意思。由于进化论经过多年的修改与完善,已成为科学界认同的理论,所以我们不能说“所谓的”(除非你想表达你不认同进化论这个意思)。如果一定要表示英文中 that would/came to be called 的意思,中文有很多方法改写。我举一个例子:“论文里面提出的理论,就是我们今天所说的进化论”。注意,“所谓”还有较为贴近文言的用法,用于引用广泛使用的警句或者话语,比如:(正)所谓“三人行,必有我师焉”。这时它不带有怀疑的隐含意思。另外一个用法是用于下定义:(所谓)保险,是/是指/指的是……。这种状况下可用不用,也不带有怀疑的意思。进化论是一个科学假说,它与生物品种的<s>由来和</s>出现有关。~ 由来 和 出现 的区别是?~ 另外“有关”虽然没错,不过更常见的说法是:它探讨/研究的是xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx。这一假说/理论<s>它说</s>提出,在某种生物一代繁衍下一代的过程中,下一代就继承上一代的基因。因为继承脱氧核糖核酸涉及到<s>脱氧核糖核酸的</s>复制,而科学研究发现,脱氧核糖核酸的复制过程<s>已经被科学证明</s>经常出<s>现</s>错<s>误</s>,所以下一代的基因与上一代不一样。~ 脱氧核糖核酸 重复太多次了,可以省略一个能从文意推断的 (另外偷偷说一句,你写这篇文章可能要求必须用中文字词。不过平时人们沟通通常会直接说DNA,不会讲中文全称)~ 中文较少使用被动语态,如果使用的话通常具有负面含义。这里说的是一个无关价值判断事实,用主动语态。既然两代的基因不同,下一代生物就可能在觅食上的竞争中胜过上一代<s>的,而</s>。在这种情况下,可以说下一代的基因比较良好。~ 而 的用法很难描述,它来源于古代汉语,表示词语或分句之间的逻辑联系。现在常见的用法是表示递进、承接、对比、转折。这里用“而”的话让人下意识有转折的感觉,但实际并没有,所以删去。<s>过几代后,随着代代相传</s>经过数代的基因进化,会<s>就</s>出现优胜劣汰的<s>这种</s>情况,最终(就会)<s>而最后</s>出现基因最具优势的全新<s>的基因最高级的生</s>物<s>品</s>种。~ 这里不是很确定代代相传指的是什么。如果意思和“过几代后”一样的话,合并成“经过数代”就可以了。如果想强调 inheritance,可以用名词“遗传”:经过数代的(基因)遗传与进化。~ 生物品种 可以用 “物种” 代替,这是一个生物学专用名词。~ “高级”有点不是很贴切。上文提到过“胜过”,所以这里可以描述为“具优势”。~ 形容词调整顺序可以省一个“的"上几代的所有生物就被这个新品种让灭绝。~ 让/使 后面必须带有宾语。没有的话要换成其他说法这里有很多改法,比如:前几代的所有生物就会因为这一新物种而灭绝。这一新物种就会使前几代的所有生物灭绝。以上就是进化论的核心过程的基本解释。(请注意,根据物种<s>从生物品种</s>的权威定义<s>上</s>,只有同物种的动物才能繁衍后代。)~ 引述某出版物、理论、意见等等可以用“根据”,不用“从。。。上”含有“上”的一个类似词组是“在……层面上”,它表示所讨论的内容聚焦在哪一高度/广度/宽度,比如:个人/家庭/宏观层面上,收入与消费的关系XXXXYYYYY0 votedJuly 25, 20201
- 我买一台相机我长时间我想想买数码单反相机。我想买单反相机很久了。I assume you wanted to say "I have been wanting to buy a DSLR". The most common term for DSLR is 单反相机 or 单反我和我老公一起拍小电影。我们现在用的相机拍得不好看。但是数码单反相机很贵。You‘d probably want to add a bit more linking here: 想换一台单反,但是单反很贵a more popular vocabulary item in Mainland China for "movie clips" is 视频. If you want to emphasize "short", you can say 短视频, or even shorter 微视频我的学校有父亲有摄影室。我学校里有小孩/学生的爸爸是开影楼/摄影工作室的。 you might even say 是摄影师Here we usually do not use the words 爸爸/妈妈/父亲/母亲 alone to specify who someone is. We specify whose father/mother he/she is. Even in cases where you don't want to specify that person, you still need to say 我们学校有个人的爸爸.But curiously you can say that with 家长: 我们学校有个家长脾气很坏. You can also say: 我要做爸爸/妈妈了 or 作为爸爸/妈妈/父亲/母亲开 + business venue is a way to say someone operates that business他孩子不上我的班,但是我们熟悉。A more idiomatic way to say this would be: 我不教那个小孩/学生,但我和他爸爸很熟。他大方地借给我们一台旧相机用一下。这台相机比我们的更好质量。所以我们要买。二手相机比新的很支付得起。-> 他很大方地把(or 拿了) 一台旧相机借给我们试用。这台相机比我们的质量更好。所以我们打算买下来。二手相机的价格比新相机更实惠。affordable is not literally translated here. we have a word 实惠.他给我们公平价。他说他不再可以用这台旧相机,可是我们可以!结果我们都很高兴!-> 他出的价格也合理。他说这台旧相机他已经用不着了,而我们用得着。结果我们都很高兴。a fair price doesn't translate as 公平. We say 价钱公道 or 价钱合理. An informal word to express this is 良心价/价格有良心 (a price with conscience), which means something is not a rip-off.If you are interested, you can also learn this vocab item: 白菜价, meaning a very low price已经用不着 implies that he doesn't need the camera any moreHowever, if what you are trying to say is "he can no longer use that old camera (because of some deficiencies in it)", you can say "那台相机对他来说已经不好用/不够用了". 不好用 means there are some hiccups so it is no longer "a joy" to use, while 不够用 means there is a lack of functionality0 votedJuly 24, 20201
