June 21, 2014 at 5:35 PMInteresting 点球 isn't 刑球 as a newbie like me would translate it, that sounds a bit harsh.
How about: draw, flop, foul, fixture, cap, fixture, clean sheet, stoppage time, hand of God (ha ha).

June 13, 2014 at 5:57 PMI prefer the new opening music. It's more contemporary and has more energy. I never liked the music before it even though it's more in tune with the Chinese language lesson theme, it felt outdated.
The background music is fine too, but the volume can be turned down.

June 7, 2014 at 9:26 PMI've used Airbnb for US summer vacation rentals and have gotten many good deals. The worst experience I had, and it wasn't that bad was a house that needed rennovations in the bedrooms and a wonky oven that leaked gas if you didn't turn the knob just right.
Airbnb isn't that new though - I've used homeaway and vrbo to rent homes in vacation areas like The Berkshires, Cape Cod and the Lake District in England. These have been around way before Airbnb and are just as simple to use, just no smartphone option back then. I think the fee was less too. Airbnb, the service charge is not trivial and the cleaning fee can get up there.

Ha ha, I like 翻船 for flop. This is what is great about Chinese. Sports, medicine, tech, etc... terms are so much easier to understand straight away. The Chinese word in some cases is better than the English dictionary definition.
