October 13, 2009, 09:14 AM请问用中文怎么说 about.
for example: "I am english I like to talk about the weather"
我是英国人我很喜欢天气聊天
对不对
helencao_counselor
October 13, 2009, 11:33 AM你好Trevor,
这句话可以这么说：
“我是英国人，我喜欢聊天气”。（或者：我喜欢聊关于天气的话题）
话题=topic.
Hope that helps!

一个小的问题,用中文怎么说 "go up stairs"
我知道楼梯= stairs
上楼梯= on the stairs? rather than up the stairs
only thing I could Think was
用楼梯去上

October 17, 2009, 04:25 PM你有新的照片， 很好。 这纸照片的地方在哪儿
trevorb
October 21, 2009, 04:23 PM哪里看起来很好的地方。
A quick question to do with tenses （which chinese does not have).
I was listening to the lesson about hot water and Ken said something about being brought hot water instead of cold I was thinking about what I might say.
In english that might be "oh sorry I wanted cold water"
closest I could get in chinese was
不好意思，我要冷水。
would that be right? In literal english translation it sounds to me to be exceptionally rude...!

September 13, 2009, 03:12 PM你好Trevor,
“里”和“内"这两个词都可以用在名词后，表示处所，时间和范围。
They both can be used in after a noun to indicate location, time and range/scope.
When they are used after a noun to indicate time, 内 is more like 'within' in english. They are mostly interchangeable.
Hope that helps.

November 27, 2009, 10:05 PM现在是你的周末，下个工作时间我有问题
这个星期我式式something different a focus on一节课。假的钱。
我的问题是
第一 对话 "可我只有一百钱"。
可是可是的可吗 is this a colloquial shortening or something that collocates with 只
第二 你这是假的 not quite understanding the construction why is it not 你的是假的
第三 钞票=paper money 用中文怎么说“coins” I assume its not 现金 as this would imply paper money too....
星期一见

November 30, 2009, 03:40 AM你好Trevor，
你的周末过得怎么样啊？
你说得对，“可我只有一百块钱”这个句子里的“可”是 “可是”的“可”。意思是 but.
“你这是假的” is a colloquial shortening. 全句可以这样说： “ 你的这张钱是假的”。
coins 的中文是 “硬币”。
Hope that helps!
明天见！
Helen

December 04, 2009, 09:16 PM用“可”是colloquial i.e. spoken not bookish吗
写的时候我应该用可是吧
这周我有一个问题
借有意思"borrow"用中文怎么说“lend"
星期一见

请问在 office policy他们用 ”工作时间内” 为什么不用”里”
I'm used to seeing li used to mean inside with things like cars, homes etc but have only encountered Nei with respect to internal strength i.e a more theoretical concept. Are they interchangeable or completely different in meaning?
