日本也有一种舞狮叫做“狮子舞”,可能是从中国传来的。

Hi joeborn

"了" is also used for an imperative sentence, like "快把它扔了" (Throw it away quickly), “你脱了大衣” (Take your coat off), and "你别去了" (Don't go). So the "了" in "快把火灭了" is not used merely to satisfy the rule.

Just for the record, Korean and Japanese also prefer 联络, possibly for historical reasons. Taiwan and Korea were under Japanese rule in the past.

东北人用“着忙”,但是我不知道是否常用。《现代汉语词典》里能查到这个词。

Ummm, that sounds VERY reasonable..... In Japan, there is no "救护车" written on the front of an ambulance.

P/S. I've not yet listend to this lessen.

Really? I just can't believe that. What's the point in doing that?

Looks like I misread your comment. What do you mean by "backwards on the front" and "on the front backwards" ?
