August 2, 2009 at 1:34 PM好的，谢谢你， Changye. I think we use bao3hu4 to imply physical protection, maybe not against an attack but against neglect or the elements, e.g., protect the environment or endangered species or protect the eyes or the skin from excessive sunlight.

I found this one: bian4hu4

I think the term for defense lawyer or counsel is bian4hu4 lv4shi1, can anyone confirm? Thanks!

August 1, 2009 at 1:17 AMHi, what about cake (dàngāo), do you guys say a slice (piàn) of cake or a chunk (kuài) of cake? I would have guessed slice but here it says chunk. Thank you.

July 31, 2009 at 10:31 PM大家好，我在中国！The word bǎowèi is for defending against a physical attack, is there a word for defending against a verbal one? E.g.,
They were insulting my friend so I defended her.
