April 19, 2011 at 3:58 PMWhy isn't the Expansion's 6th exercise translated as "I just ate two" since a future action can never be done before a legitimate statement of present intention, such as "I'll just eat two", about the future action? Or can Chinese people whoof things down so fast that they can get their food down before their words are heard?
Also, the 7th exercise here neglects the word 'qǐng' in the English translation; so it should be "...please ask as you wish".
