在美国一个人只有表现的问题，人势部不会允许别的方法。

2. "性格"is personality, 性子is temper.

可以形容性格的词很多：好，坏，活泼，乐观，开朗，坚强，内向，外向，孤僻，etc.

形容性子的词比较少，一般只说：急性子，慢性子，性子直，耍性子。

]]> <![CDATA[By: johnb]]> Oh, sorry, I meant 专业 was right. 专业地 + Verb means to "do something professionally / at an expert level," so they're talking about firing someone "in a professional way."

这个小伙真是个可怜虫子。他全部是借口，不是顾客刁难就是家庭让他迟到。反正，我同时也可怜他，在这么严肃的公司环境里上班真可让人着急不完， 上司一直观察员工的工作，评价绩效，审讯作为等。这样一来我就感谢上帝赋予了我老师的职业。 一个人安排自己的东西。如果你让学生满意，培养人机关系及写几篇文章没人会来打扰！

Do you understand the words "加薪" and "炒鱿鱼" now?

1. 加薪(jiāxīn) salary raise

I got a salary raise. 我加薪了。

They asked the boss for a rise. 他们请求老板给加薪。

In "加", there's the initial "j", "j" is pronounced like j as in "jeep", with the tongue forward. 

2. 炒鱿鱼(chǎo yóu yú) fire sb

My boss fired me and my wife asked for a divorce. 老板炒我鱿鱼，太太又吵着要离婚。

One of the workers was fired for drunkenness. 一名工人因醉酒而被炒鱿鱼。

In "鱿" and "鱼", "y" is pronounced like "y" as in "yes"; except that the syllable "yi" is pronounced like "ee" as in "bee".
