不过就不过 translates to "fine" in the dialog??? hmm..

I read in the news where some Japanese men lost their jobs then were abandoned by their families. Poor guys. Must be some cultural expectations.

Hi CPod,

Can you do a Hungry Traveller: Shanghai soon? I want to know what's the best food to eat when I visit Shanghai in July.

Thanks.

Is there a word to differentiate between freezer and refrigerator, or are they both 冰箱？

Posted on: Dealing With Depression

Another good lesson with many relevent and useful words in these times.

I have a few questions. Hope someone here can enlighten me.

Can I replace :

- 豁达  with 乐观?

- 开导 with 鼓励?

In what other context can I use 状态?

Can 审视 be used for anything other than analyzing oneself? Can it be used for analyzing others or a situation or some inaminate object?

Thanks.

In Hong Kong, one can eat 点心 for breakfast/lunch. Does anyone know if its popular in Shanghai?

Can I use 财务中心 instead of 金融中心 to mean financial centre. Thanks.

@bill

This is probably one of the more realistic (and useful) lessons lately, compared to "futuristic war game", "vampires", etc.

@miantiao,

A question about your explanation of 送. Is it used only when someone drives another person to somewhere? Is it usable if the father brings the son to the hospital using public transport or taxi? If I say to my colleague,

我顺路送你回家吧。

it would imply I drive a car.

Thanks.

@zhangdawei

Would 杀鸡给猴看 mean the boss randomly fires/punishes one of the late comers just to show the others?
