April 28, 2015 at 1:10 PMMingmao, “应付”，sometimes （not all the times. I'll explain in more detials later) 确实有"不认真地做"的意思，我再给你几个例句：
（1）context: I'm very busy with work and my daughter comes along to ask me how to make fried rice. I give her some quick tips only without going through the details. Then, my daughter tells me:
老妈，你只是在应付我哎，认真点好不好？！
（2）context: in a garment shop, a customer is just browsing through different tops without trying on anything. She keeps asking the shop assistant: 这件衣服多少钱？可以便宜点吗？
The shop assistant senses that it's unlikely that this customer will buy any clothes so her attitute is not overly positive. She might simply reply: 不能便宜。
In chinese, 售货员的态度是应付人的态度。
Most of the time, “应付” means "to handle something". For exaple:
(1) 最近我的工作很忙，但是我能应付得了。
（2）昨天我家来了30位客人吃完饭，我妈一样可以应付。
To summarize: 如果应付的是人，我觉得有"不认真地做"的意思。如果应付的是事情，主要的意思是”to handle".
Hopefully this helps clear the confusion. 常敏

April 23, 2015 at 1:54 PM记得我上中学的时候跑过一次接力，前面那一棒的选手把棒掉了，耽误了时间，所以我们队跑了倒数第二名。不过，因为我们没有因此而放弃，观众们给我们鼓掌加油。

April 28, 2015 at 1:14 PM这两个词的意思区别很大。
替对方注意 - pay attention to something on behalf of the other party
互相关心 - look after one another
例句：
（1）我们班的同学互助互爱，互相关心。
（2）小组活动的时候，我们要替对方注意可能出现的问题，及时提醒对方。
