Advanced - 酒鬼

I meant 被我们心理上认为每罪。

changye, fp00n, tcfl, How long have you been learning Chinese?? Honestly, I have no ideas what you guys are talking about, but I am sure that you are very fluent in Chinese. Did you study in China? Please offer your words of wisdom to a newbie, like me? Thanks & Blessings!

大家好啊，我第一次来这里，心里非常激动！“酒鬼”是个好词啊，有时候感觉“酒鬼”这个词还是蛮可爱的噢！比如我在外面喝了酒回家，我女朋友就骂我是酒鬼，虽然她嘴上这样说，而心里却是无限的柔情与关隘，她会细心地照料我，直到我呼呼大睡过去。第二天醒来，女朋友便会拿着鸡毛掸子向我挥过来，轻轻地打在我的屁股上，边打边说：你这个死酒鬼，叫你喝，叫你喝，而我咧嘴一笑，就“泯恩仇”了。呵呵，感觉时不时很温馨啊。我喜欢酒鬼这个词，强烈支持一下下！

I agree bring back the English translation. Even though I can guess at most of the meaning based on context, I would still like to know the exact English word. I often find myself not remembering the English word for a Chinese word. Moreover some of the expressions can't be found in various dictionaries. Since the English translation is a popup by demand, it doesn't interfere with those who don't need the translation. However it makes more work for those who need the translation. Looking up words in a Chinese dictionary is already a chore, and one of the things I like about Chinese pod is the ease of use.

Chinesepera-kun and hanzibar still work in the dialogue, vocab, and expansion section. So that's an answer, however, Cpod English translations seem to be more accurate. Guess its up to Cpod.

I think the English is more easier to learn than chinese!

I think the English is easier learned than the Chinese. or I think English is easier to learn than Chinese. or.. clavikiller the English learner. Have you tired: englishpod.com

lol clavikiller became wushu, ukiy, ???????????????

I have tried good thank you

Yes I think I always to change for a better name aha

laugh out loud =lol this is very interesting

Wushu, here's some more English to learn: TMI It's means Too Much Information, as in, Too Much Information about what your girlfriend does to your 屁股. In other words, your story got a little too personal! Passion, I still learn very basic things from CPod like, 你过奖了。All you need is a strong motivation, and the right atmosphere, so yes, learning in China/Taiwan helps a lot.

ChangYe is a Japanese National, so he has an advantage with Kanji words. He's been studying in China, but at the moment is back in Japan drinking with his buddies.

It's fun!hahaha! I like the slang but there's also many slangs in chinese I can display it there 屁大点儿事儿：very very unimportant things and you can ignore for example: 屁大点儿事儿，着什么急嘛！

fp00n I should declare someting there you shouldn't use "/" to depart China and Taiwan. Beacause Taiwan is a province of China.

^^ That's gonna get some replies

Really? A province with it's own military, government and entirely different rules? With absolutely no political relationship or subordination to the Chinese communist party? At present Taiwan acts as an independent 'country' although few governments of the world actually want to face that fact for fear of damaging relations with China. However, it is clearly not a special zone like Hong Kong or Macao. So i guess war and assimilation are probably inevitable for Taiwan; I love the smell of napalm in the morning (and erased posts?).

Taiwan is a part of China. It always has been, and it always will be. Sooner than than later, it will reunite with the Motherland. I think there will be a peaceful reunification. The Chen ShuiBian and his separatist party won't win out. There's too much economical politicals involved. But, Dave you probably didn't you know that Kinmen Island and Matsu Island currently held by Taiwan, are only miles from the Mainland in Fujian Province.

wushu lol can also mean - lots of laughs. Thats what I mean by it anyways. 誰說這句話(我不曉得如果他說的時候, 他是不是喝醉了)? 青菜豆腐最營養 雞鴉魚肉壞肚腸

so, how would you say "addicted" to something, as in "I am addicted to ChinesePod" ?

"Taiwan is a part of China. It always has been, and it always will be." Hmm.... http://www.taiwandc.org/ http://members.aol.com/xpus/FSM-Hist.html Kitty also wrote: "[Tibet...ah remember people, Tibet has always been a part of China]." Hmmm.... http://www.friends-of-tibet.or.....tibet.html 好,太可怕.我們把歷史丟掉就一起去酒吧.

Kitty you are retarded.

to passion: I have been learning Chinese for 22 years. To AZERDocMom: "addicted" 迷恋，上瘾，对something非常着迷， "I am addicted to ChinesePod" ，可以解释为我非常喜欢Chinesepod。

这不是政治播客、 而就是中文播客。 如果谈政治话题、 有更合适的地方。 大家高高兴兴地 聊天学习汉语吧。

That's correct. I'm retarded, but there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of China. That has never been disputed. Tibet has always been a part of China, and it always will be. If you American think otherwise, give back Alaska to the Alaskan's and Hawaii back to the Hawaiians. Ha ha

tcfl, thanks; unfortunately, I don't read Chinese at all. what's the pinyin equivalent?

David Suzuki said something that adequately explains world politics, "We are all sitting in a car racing to a wall at 100 miles an hour, and squabbling over where to sit."

changye, 你完全说得对。 在这里讨论政治是特别危险的。我们来自非常不同的国家，具有很多不同的角度。

Yes this may not be the appropriate place to talk about politics. I will also completely glaze over the fact that it took a German and a Japanese to point this out. Nice teamwork guys. (just poking a little fun)

AZERDoc Mom, 惠存复述 (huì cún fù shù) tcfl 的答复 (de dá fù) "addicted" 迷恋，上瘾，对something非常 着迷， "I am addicted to ChinesePod" 可以解释为我非常喜欢Chinesepod。 用拼音就是 : "addicted": míliàn (to adore), shàng yǐn, duì shénme fēicháng zháomí (to be fascinated by) - "I'm addicted to Cpod" kě yǐ jiě shì wéi wǒ fēicháng xǐhuan ChinesePod. (I don't get that last one's structure, could it be wèi, or bù kě yǐ...??) BTW, you could just say Cpod mí - 中文播客迷

changye用的写法是 否日本创传统的 俳句的方式还是 另外一种地式种 Ahhh writing like that just makes me sound silly. Are you writing in some kind of Haiku, ChangYe-San? ChangYeさん書いたのは俳句ですか。

恰巧我的老婆不是那么苛刻。再来一杯啤酒。 那个课程很有趣。 加油！

User0001先生 我模仿的不是俳句 而是中国唐诗风格。 虽然我写的差得远 自我满足就行了呗。 日本人自古很爱好 灿烂中国古典文学。 让我给您介绍一首 在日本有名的唐诗。 国破山河在， 城春草木深。 感时花溅泪， 恨别鸟惊心。 烽火连三月， 家书抵万金。 白头搔更短， 浑欲不胜簪。 （杜甫）

Alaska's brief history http://members.chello.at/andrea.pilgram/alaska/history.htm Hawaii's brief history http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/4870/HawaiiHistory.html Seems like true Hawaiians have a beef with America.

Franch, thx for the explanations. This lesson is out of my league, obviously, but it appears "addicted" is translated several ways depending on the context. "To adore" or "be fascinated" or "fei1chang2xi3huan1" have positive connoations. I am wondering is there a way to say, "he's addicted to such and such," but regarding a serious addiction (like alcohol or drugs.) Perhaps there isn't such a verb "to be addicted" in Chinese.

franch， 在中国，我们一般不说吸毒者是“吸毒鬼”，更常见的表达是“瘾君子”。 李白是中国唐代著名的大诗人，人称“诗仙”，他的诗非常有想像力。李白很爱喝酒，常常一边喝酒一边写诗。他的酒量很大，也有人称他“酒仙”。史书上说李白最后是饮酒过度而死的，但民间传说李白是喝醉了酒要跳到湖里捞月亮而溺死的。我觉得后面一种说法更富有浪漫色彩。 tcfl ， 谢谢你告诉我们“装蒜”的由来，很有意思:)

釀酒或蜜蜂釀蜂蜜- 這個 " 釀 " 字可不可以用? 譬如: 一些酒鬼會釀造他們自己的酒. 對不對?

酿是简体字。 釀是繁体字。 字义都一样。 所以酿的酒 和釀的酒都 一样很好喝。

寫得好. 可是我本來的問題是要求如果 -釀-這個字是否常用的. 我作才讀到了這個字. 我沒聽過釀的用法.

我才明白你的意思。 在谷歌搜索结果中 我发现了很多酿酒 和自己酿酒的说法。 所以这些都很自然。 酿造葡萄酒也常见。 酿制白酒也很常用。 但作酒的说法很少。 让我提供如下例句。 一些酒鬼自己酿酒。 我能自己在家酿造 百威啤酒就太好了。

AZERDocMom, 上瘾 (shàngyǐn) to be addicted 我对ChinesePod上瘾了. (Wǒ duì ChinesePod shàngyǐn le.) You can use this for addictions to drugs, alcohol, etc., as well: 他对毒品上瘾了. (Tā duì dúpǐn shàngyǐn le.) Some addictions are better than others!

Thanks so much, Amber! I figured there has to be the verb "addicted" since addiction medicine is a subspecialty, and I presume it is practiced in China as well.

哪，只看评论是一个好学中文的方法！ 今天Amber介绍了’毒品‘，我听过了多次不过觉得在我的脑子里面不是那么清楚。。。现在好清清的。。。是全世界不要的事！ 大吃 上瘾 大玩 上瘾 大活 上瘾 播客 上瘾

why are there no more english translations? pls implement them again! tx

in advanced lessons, besides putting pinyin, you should add the meaning of the words along the texts like in upper intermediate lessons. This way it will make many students' lessons a whole lot easier to learn. I'll appreciate if you can make it. Thanks.

Kitty, who does your brain belong to, and always has and always will, and where's that little yellow pill?

Sorry, Kitty, that was a bit mean. Still, if you take things you have learned in school (?) in China at face value you are in for a bit of a surprise, especially if you discuss politics with foreigners from countries where people are allowed to have different opinions about issues like these.

In the Nciku dictionary, what do you think of the page with the definition of 酗酒 (to get drunk / to drink too much alcohol) ?

http://www.nciku.com/search/zh/detail/%E9%85%97%E9%85%92/1317221#

Here is the picture associated with the definition :

Obviously, this guy is drinking TEA !

@kimik,

是吗？我看不出他的杯子有什么。中国传统的酒杯也跟差杯子差不多。可是他是因为他是个阿拉伯的，可能你对了！

@tvan,

我怀疑这是故意的。因为Nciku 的照片挑选者有时候可能开玩笑。
