This one is a little hard because in English, that phrase would not be understood as affectionate or cute, unless you say it with affection. If you say it while referring to them fondly, it could be taken as affectionate or cute, which would be how you feel about them . If you say it with no expression at all, people would think that you just think the person you are talking about is stupid. Instead, you could say "That person is silly but cute" or "That person is ridiculous and sweet". This is how I normally translate "这人很二“, as long as they're not angry when they say it :)

If you look at a map of the US, you will see that it is broken up by many borders. Each border is a state. Each state is built of several counties. Each county is built of several cities. Each city is built of several districts or regions - most of these are not officially noted on maps since they are always expanding or shrinking. The districts/regions may call themselves many things, sometimes even a village, but these days, very few places in the US are actually called a village anymore.

You can say either, but they have slightly different meanings: "I want a candy" means that you want ONE piece of candy. "I want candy" means that you want ONE or MORE pieces, but in this case, it's not specific as to what candy you mean. "I want candies" means that you want multiple (usually different types) pieces of candy. This is a great example of how confusing the plural (the multiple form of a word) can be in English. Hope this answer helps!

The best way to answer this question would be to discuss why you chose that program at that university. For example: Q: Why did you choose Computer Science at University of Southern California? A: In my research of computer science programs across several schools, University of Southern California's program stood out to me as the most competitive as well as the most aligned to my current goals. Computer Science is a subset of University. They want to know why you choose Computer Science at the particular University. Another way to think about it would be: Q: Why did you choose Computer Science at University AAA instead of Computer Science at University ZZZ? You can think of it almost as a comparison, but you will always want to answer why you chose the particular program at a particular university.

Technically, it means, "May you receive many happy things/situations/etc". It is typically used in some places to say "Happy Birthday".

This is a great line from this short story, describing the pretend-state of Miss Conway. When we are young, we can talk about our pains and sorrows with others and feel that the burden of these things is lifted. When we are much older, we try to talk about these things with other people, but it doesn't make us feel any less sorrowful. The statement "old age may give and give, but the sorrow remains the same" is the implication that we can keep talking and keep trying to share our grief but it won't make us feel any better. Miss Conway is trying to show how grieved she is over "losing" Count Fernando and despite the fact that Mr. Donovan is taking her for a blissful walk in the park, she will remain gloomy and sad.
