July 20, 2013 at 5:27 PMTranslation problem in this Expansion sentence: The Chinese has "energy and money" but the English says "time and energy".
这个方法太麻烦了，有没有什么省力又省钱的方法啊？
zhè gè fāngfǎ tài máfan le， yǒuméiyǒu shénme shěnglì yòu shěngqián de fāngfǎ a？
This way of doing it is too troublesome. Is there a way to do that saves time and energy?

July 7, 2013 at 1:51 AMWhere is the web page about the meet-ups? I can't seem to find it on the CP site. At one point, I followed a link to join a meetup, but it took me to a sign-up page for meetup.com - and that took me completely out of CP.

June 30, 2013 at 2:59 AMI just ran across this article about "不干不净, 吃了没病" and the 5-second rule “五秒规则". I don't understand all the Chinese, but the cartoon is cute. It's here: http://www.evolife.cn/html/2010/55394.html

June 29, 2013 at 4:49 PMQuestion on the meaning of this Expansion sentence:
| 现在是红灯，别过去，很危险。 |
| xiànzài shì hóngdēng， bié guòqù， hěn wēixiǎn。 |
| There's a red light right now. Don't go out. It's very dangerous. |
Does this refer to a traffic light or some other kind of red light? If it's a traffic light, then a better translation would be "go through", instead of "go out".
