    a legitimate stage. I'm reading "2002 City of Los Angeles Building Code", and have a question on this sentence. "A building or portion of a building having an assembly room with an occupant load of 1,000 or more and a legitimate stage." I can't find an appropriate definition for "a legitimate stage", does it refer to something similar to a theater? Thank you in advance!

    Does this sentence make sense? Thanks! China reached its highest number of overseas acquisitions in 2016, but it was in decline in the first months of this year. Now it seems to recover as state-owned enterprises , replacing those private ones, started a new round of buying-spree.

    If you write emails with a mix of Chinese and English to your subordinates, it seems okay. If you do that to your boss, I don't think it's appropriate. :P

    It means the same thing - if. But because I've done a lot of reading recently, I found that 倘若 is commonly used in legal documents of Hong Kong. We would say 假如 a lot, informally. In formal writing or documents, 假如 would be replaced by 若 or 如.

    criticisms or critique? 1. The reversal of the verdict has been generally welcomed by the public but there are also criticisms claiming this is a case in which "public opinion successfully intervened in a judicial decision." 2. The reversal of the verdict has been generally welcomed by the public but a critique of "public opinion intervenes in justice" has emerged. Which expression sounds native? Thanks.

    once a month in every 12 months? This is a sentence from company registration rules of Thailand. "The company limited must prepare the financial statement once a month in every 12 months and..." Here the phrase "once a month in every 12 months" is confusing. Does it mean a company shall prepare the financial statement every month or every 12 months? Thanks.

    1, If you look at the definition of "purge" in Oxford online dictionary, there is only one meaning for "purge" as a noun, which is "an abrupt or violent removal of a group of people from an organization or place". In your first sentence, it clearly doesn't indicate a removal of people, but emotions. Now let's see the definition of purification - "the removal of contaminants from something" or purge - "rid (someone) of an unwanted feeling, memory, or condition, typically giving a sense of cathartic release". Both are applicable to the context of the first sentence. It might need some time to check dictionary for these definition, but usually it is useful for self-study. 2, Both historical/historic events/sites are okay, but they are slightly different. "Historic", defined as "famous or important in history, or potentially so", highlights the influence or importance of one in history, while "historical" is "of or concerning history; concerning past events", which means anything occurred or related to the past can be historical. The Battle of Waterloo is a historic event, for example, but other campaigns that Napoleon Bonaparte involved in are historical fights. 3, I'd recommend "appearance" (definition: an act of performing or participating in a public event) in your third sentence.

    That means: the initial (first) term of the Agreement is 2 years, and if it is not terminated (= does not violate the Clause 22), it will be automatically extended for one more year.

    Which thesis statement is better reflecting my position? 1. The infamous incident (of a 2-year-old girl being run over by two vehicles but failed to be help by 18 passer-bys) tells everyone a harsh yet straight truth that human nature is bad because people are a selfish animal, which need to be educated to be good, and their kindness is conditional. 2. The tragedy of that 2 year-old girl sheds light on the evil nature of man. Humans are selfish, only under certain conditions they are humane, and they need education for being good. These two may have almost identical meanings, but as a thesis statement, I want to know which one is more specific and convincing. If there are grammar mistakes, please help me correct them. Thanks a lot! If you have any questions on Chinese, feel free to ask for help! :)
