March 28, 2010, 11:49 AMAdd, sometime "长辈" means someone is old than(or like) your parents.
if you are 30 years old
Someone is 40 years old.
I don't think he/she is your "长辈"
But if he/she is above 50 years old, I think he/she is your "长辈"

March 28, 2010, 11:42 AM"老一辈"or "老前辈" have the meaning "older generation, seniors".
but "长辈"、"前辈" don't have.
"老一辈" usually used to some people:
example:A, B and C are "老一辈" scientists of Chinese.
"老前辈" usually used to someone:
example:A is a "老前辈" scientist of Chinese.
and you can call A:"good morning, "老前辈"!"but you can't call A:"good morning, "老一辈"!"
Your parents are your "长辈".Include your anut, uncle, grandmother....
A women who is 30 years old. She has a son. She is the baby's "长辈"，too! but I don't think the women is senior.
"前辈" means he, she or they has/have more experience than you.
example: An American boy who is 10 years old. He can understand "What are the differences between:长辈/老一辈/前辈", but you can't. He is your "前辈" at Chiese learning.

March 28, 2010, 11:08 AMI think the comment will be not removed by ChinesePod staff, Because these Chinese words actually are the translation of the English sentence!
I think you are a newbie. You can't understand the meant of my Chinese sentence.

March 28, 2010, 10:57 AMusually, "都怪我不好" means someone blamed himself/herselt made something to mess.
例句：
A:We can't see what time is it....
B:都怪我不好，I have lost the watch...
but, if you add a subject into the sentence:
example:“ 你们 都怪我不好！”
it means "You can't blame ONLY me for the thing!"
例句：
A:We can't see what time is it because you have lost the watch!
B:为什么你们都怪我不好？The watch was stolen by a thief! Why don't you blame the thief?!
不过这种说法比较少见 ：）

March 28, 2010, 10:04 AM同意楼上
我是个上海人，但是我觉得我上海话说得还不够好
上海话和苏州等南方话最大的区别是什么大家知道吗？
其实就是上海话融入了相当一部分英语
举例如下：
阿木林（A MORON），混枪势（混CHANGCE），码子（寿头码子，小刁码子等，MOULDS），嗲（DEAR），拉三（LASSIE），大兴（DASHY），噶三壶（GOSSIP），瘪三（BEGSIR），戆大（GANDER），接领子（接LEADS），扎台型（扎DASHING），邋遢（LITTER），蹩脚（BILGE），肮三（ON SALE）

March 28, 2010, 09:55 AM中医说香蕉和猕猴桃是非常寒性的东西，长期大量吃的人体质会变寒，然后就容易上火了
Posted on: 上火
March 28, 2010, 09:54 AM我觉得上火这个概念对于外国人来说实在是太难理解了。
即使是中国人，对于上火其实也有很多误解。
一直以来我都觉得我的体质很容易上火，很容易生“口腔溃疡”，所以我一直都吃寒性的东西。
后来我看了中医书，知道了就是因为吃了太多寒性的东西，所以体质很寒，血液循环差，一旦吃热性的东西，身体就会受不了，就会出现上火的症状。
要改善上火，并非再去吃寒性的东西，那等于“雪上加霜”。而是应该是一些温性的东西，慢慢把寒性体质纠正过来，这样再吃热性的东西也不会上火了。
典型的温性的滋补的东西是枸杞、红枣、芝麻
我现在不像以前那样容易上火了。不过我不知道这样的养身理念是否适合西方人的体质。
这段话很专业，可能很难翻译成英文

March 28, 2010, 09:36 AMIt's same in some context. Note, it's not same in every context.
It's not everyone work in company. if you are a teacher, you answer "我去公司", you'll made someone confused.
It depends on the context in which if these sentence are same.
我怕我英语说得不地道，所以用中文再解释一遍：
在某些场景里，它们是相同的。但是请注意，不是任何场景里他们都相同。
不是每个人都在公司上班，如果你是一位教师，你回答别人说：“我去公司”，是会让别人困惑的。
这些句子是否相同取决于它所在的场景。
