Hi christine30550

I'm sorry for my late reply. Thanks to zhenlijiang's comments above, I've just noticed your answer, which was contemplated in an Onsen, to my previous question about noun gender in German. Your explanation is very satisfactory to me. Today I feel like I finally got it off my chest, thank you very much.

P/S. Did you fully enjoy onsen in Japan?

Hi cinese

In addition to shenyajin's explanation about "要是不下雨的话" structure, you can also say “要是不下雨” or “不下雨” to save "linguistic" enegy. China is an "earth-friendly" state, as you might know!

Hi raygo

《太空漫游》系列小说还有《2061》和《3001》,不过这些续篇没有电影版。我“强烈”推荐你读读这两本书,阿瑟克拉克给你揭开《太空漫游》所有的秘密。我保证值得一读!这个话题到此为止吧,哈哈。

Hi light

You are right. You can say, 回这里来/回到这里来,回那里去/回到那里去 and 回哪里去?/回到哪里去?

Hi siteng

回 and "return/go back" are the same semantically. You can use 回 when you are NOT returning to your own home. Let me show you a good example, the movie "Return to Oz" is translated as “回到绿野” in Chinese.

Hi dubb

Please look at it this way. For example, 

这本书比我相像的还好 = 这本书比我想像的(书)还好。
This book is better than (the book) I expected.

The noun "书" after the "的" is left out, just like "这本书是谁的(书) 那是我的(书)"

Hi raygo

你看过《2010太空漫游》没有?跟《2001》相比,《2010》的剧情很简单,不用动脑筋就可以理解的,可见《2010》就是一部很典型的当代好莱坞电影作品。这两部科幻片我都喜欢!
