January 15, 2010, 09:39 PMno worries.Just found the lesson.Here it is:
http://chinesepod.com/lessons/personal-ad
..it's intermediate but most of the discussion is in English so you should find that interesting.It was a really funny lesson worth listening to sometime [don't be afraid to give it a listen even if it's too hard to follow at this stage...just the expressions in the voice may give you a laugh].Anyhow,as I said,I hope the discussion is enlightening.Welcome to CPod :)

January 16, 2010, 12:40 PM中国以白为美，其实我的皮肤偏黑一些。如果有人说谁很漂亮，一般她的皮肤也会很白。

January 16, 2010, 01:10 PM我有一男一女。我儿子的皮肤和我一样非常白，相反，我女儿的皮肤和她妈妈一样很黑。我女儿当然不服气，老对她弟弟生气地说“男人有雪白的皮肤到底有什么用？要是我们俩换过来就好！” 女儿呀，你可别怪我，这都是你妈妈惹的祸！

建议她移民西方 - 在这里大多数的女孩儿都羡慕暗皮肤的人，不少人为了变得黑一些付一大笔钱去日浴室,以至于不惜冒皮癌的危险。。。

January 16, 2010, 07:56 PMWhat bothers me is what bodily features the Chinese are not into. Historically, butt*cks were under no selective pressure in China, probably on account of the (hopefully now defunct) practice of crippling concubines' feet. Only the upper part of the female body mattered. The result, after X generations, is a desastrous waist-to-hip ratio in otherwise strikingly attractive creatures. Brazilian plastic surgeons will get rich once once global male preferences start to take their toll.

Have you never heard of Pascal's wager? You have nothing to lose by considering it to be real.

January 18, 2010, 11:41 AMSo people are using avatars here that are not really them? Oh no, I'm gutted. Just gutted. I'll never trust a beautiful avatar again. Or send lovesick PMs. Or fall in love. That's it now. OK?
