May 26, 2013 at 6:02 PMIn this expansion sentence, there's a concern expressed that I haven't heard before. Is the concern that the the 洗衣机 and other clothes will become contaminated, or that the 内衣 doesn't get clean enough in the 洗衣机?
| 内衣别用洗衣机洗，不卫生。 |
| Don't use the washing machine to wash undergarments. It isn't clean. |

我最近接二连三地收到朋友的结婚请帖。
(Recently, I've been receiving my friend's wedding invitations one after the other.)

May 19, 2013 at 3:41 PMIs there a rule for when you can drop the "you" of "meiyou"? Or can you always omit it?
For example, this is one of the sentences in the dialog.
这个员工太没有责任心了。
Would it be correct and mean the same to say
这个员工太没责任心了。
