Line 6 of the Expansion should be translated as

"Are all of these yours?"  If 'dōngxi' were used, it

would be "Are all of these things yours?"

Shouldn't the dialogue's 1st sentence be translated in

English as "What good dishes do you have here?  Else

it seems as Nǐmen" is almost completely ignored.

In the 9th sentence of the Expansion, the word 'xiǎng'

isn't pronounced, so that makes the translation into

"will you try again one time?  That is, unless you want

to translate the calligraphy, in which case it translates

as "would you like to try again one time?  So, take your

pick, which is the nice thing about chinesepod.com
