December 10, 2009, 07:49 AM你好，“宰”还可以是 " change for a high price", and this price is too much higher than its real value.so in that case, you can use “宰”. like 今天我去买衣服的时候被宰了，因为我不会讨价还价。 or 那个地方是专门宰外国游客的，你最好不要去。
“敲”means "knock", usually used for 敲门， 敲桌子 and so on.

- 她长大的同时也变成更厉害。
Why is there a "的" in this phrase and in the others? Can you give me examples of 同时 used alone?

Why is there a "了" at the end of this phrase?
- So, I don't know hao to use 并 properly. Would you mind giving me some examples?
Many thanks in advance.
Have a nice day! It's really sunny today in BJ
crystal_counselor
December 08, 2009, 06:51 AM“同时”是副词adverb,here the pattern is
".....的同时....也.....", but you also can use it this way, 她长大了，同时也变得更厉害。 you can put 同时 at the beginning of the sentence,like中国发展地很快，同时人民的生活水平也提高了。
the 了 here means it already has happened.
we put 并 between two verbs to mean the two actions occur at the same time or one after another. for example,我同意并支持你的决定。 她很喜欢并用了你的建议。
sabrinaguenier
December 08, 2009, 10:15 AM中国发展地很快，同时人民的生活水平也提高了。"the 了 here means it already has happened."
Yes. But I hope for you (and for me) that it's not done and that it will continue to grow. That's why I was surprised to see a 了 here.
ok for the 并 explanation. Thanks.
