June 29, 2009 at 2:41 AM"到底" is used in the sense "what on earth, ever, exactly, really, actually etc.", as raygo explained above, when the word is used in an interrogative sentence. On the other hand, in an affirmative sentece, 到底 usually means "finally, in the end". Here are some example sentences.
我想了好久，到底明白了。
经过一番曲折，事情到底成功了。
他沉默了半天，到底开了口。

我也是个理科生，不过我是将近三十年前毕业的。其实我这个理科生最讨厌的科目却就是数学，一看多元方程式就头疼。恰恰相反，我从小就比较喜欢学习语言，爱看书（和动漫!），喜欢写文章。好像我选错了专业。
无论是文科生还是理科生，学习外语很重要。特别是在没有言论自由的国家，只通过自己语言获得的知识难免比较偏颇，可能让你养成片面的看法。学习外语可以让你长见识，扩大眼界。小伙子，好好学习吧。加油！

June 27, 2009 at 1:56 PM中国古人说“仓廪实则知礼节，衣食足则知荣辱”。中国好像应该已经进入这个阶段了。提高素质，保卫祖国！发财才是硬道理！

你最近在哪儿自己偷偷学中文呢？Zhenlijiang和我都想死你了！对了，我记得你以前说过“学德语很有意思”。你的德语有进步吗？怎样才能克服学“形容词变化”的困难？Tarcy女士，请多多指教。
我也挺喜欢徐先生的声音和他说话的样子，我看ChinesePod确实拥有很多人才。不过我还是更喜欢听女老师们讲课，因为我是男人！ChinesePod如果提供男用和女用两种课程就好了。

Dahaka 同学, 你完全误会了。那个帖子里中文部分既不是 bendidelaowai 自己写的文章也不是她本人的看法，而只是一个中国人在优酷网上发的帖子。我劝你三思而行，批评别人之前再仔细看看帖子吧。还有，“比较爱国的一个高中生” 也得懂点英语，对不对？
I have a question, on youku there is a comment left:
简直就是俗不可耐， 卑鄙无耻， 我的孩子，哪一年都会学赵本山的无聊笑语， 骗人，忽悠人还说是和赵本山学的，，，我不明白为什么他这种人年年上春晚，中国人就这素质吗？ ........（以下省略）

June 27, 2009 at 3:46 AM我家的小胖狗同志今年七岁了，她最近宣布打算活到十六岁。其实我以前在日本养过的一只西施犬活到了十六岁，真是长寿啊！

The phrase “我的青春小鸟” is the subject of the expansion sentence, and this connotes something like "my bird-like youth", which was translated as "My youth has gone like a bird, ～" in the expansion section.

You have no need to feel small when posting in English in advanced/media lesson forums. Chinese comments posted by us non-native learners don't come with "guarantee", as everybody knows. It's inevitable that there're some (or many) grammatical mistakes, typos, and unnatural expressions in them, and it's not easy for us learners to exactly tell which are mistakes and unnatural phrases.
Frankly speaking, these Chinese comments are not necessarily educational/beneficial for other poddies. After all, posting in Chinese is mainly for "self-practice" and "showing off your achievement", which I think is very important in learning foreign languages. There is absolutely no reason that English comments are not welcome here. I don't understand why some poddies ask other people to post only in Chinese here. Just nonsense.

感谢你解释得很详细，我觉得很有帮助！你不愧为外语系毕业的人，看来你每天都很认真地学习德语，我真的很佩服你。等我有空的时候再挑战德语形容词吧。对了，听说德语过去式和过去分词的变化比形容词还要复杂，我怎么办才好呢？ 我这个人天生就很懒，做事没有耐心，缺乏集中力，而且记性不好。这种人肯定学不会像德语那样很复杂的语言。
话虽这么说，其实我认为阅读德文对外国学习者并不是很难。但是开口说德语还是非常难。说德语最大的困难不在于发音，而在于语法。说德语的时候要事先考虑很多语法规则，所以连简单的句子都很难说出来。我怀疑到底有百分之多少的德国人会讲语法正确的德语。以德语为母语的知识分子也有时弄错词尾变化吗？如果是这样，那我就放心多了！
