this show reminds me of a She-Ra episode, when He-Man catches a spaceship with a rope the Sorcerer had given to him. It was supposed to be unbreakable, but She-Ra climbs it up and cuts the ship loose so it collides with asteroid passing by. greate show

I know this is an old lesson, but I hope someone will browse back here. 哪里 is a very interesting expression. If a Chinese politician receives a compliment, something like: "Sir, you are so honest!" Would he respond with "哪里,哪里"? If not, what do we say in response to a compliment that cannot be denied? It's like a "your so beautiful today" paradox. Further, how can I translate "Sir, you are so honest!"? I think a lesson about politics and elections would be propitious. thank you, marcos, Brazil
