December 22, 2008 at 10:52 PMThe little blurb at the end of the podcast was amusing as well.
Oh, and also, if you search for "Personal Trainer" this will not come up as a search result. Maybe there's something wrong with the tags, but if I search "gym", I only get one lesson, Intermediate's: Going to the Gym

This actually happens a lot, is there any way Chinesepod could do some wholesale fixes to the pdfs? I keep having to post each time I run into this problem.

December 2, 2008 at 7:30 AMI like 宝贝的贝(as long as you're female). I'm not very good at telling the difference first glance, apart from the obvious ones.
that'd be a good lesson... how to differentiate male from female names.

December 2, 2008 at 6:21 AMI don't buy blaming the game companies, not one bit. It's not a drug, it's not chemically addictive. What's their fault in all this? Making money? Well, that's capitalism... making games too addictive? What does that even mean? I know, for me, I WANT an addictive game. I want a game that makes me want to play it... if they could quantify addictiveness on a box, I'd aim for the highest one.
It's all self-control in my opinion.

December 2, 2008 at 1:50 AMNaw, not there... not sure what happened. I like the new one better anyway :)
Believe me, it was probably my fault and not CP's. I was just sure I'd hit 'post' and it didn't show up -- I'm not sweating it.

December 2, 2008 at 12:52 AMAw man, CP ate my comment :( It's never as good as the first time around, I always forget stuff! Anyway,
我姓沈,叫伟伦.我的中文名字没什么特别,但我给我儿子起中文名字的时候碰到了些困难.我原来要给他起的名字是"沈夏文",但又一位同事告诉我可能有人把他的名字听成"沈下文",不太好听.我就改了...改成"沈小文".过了几天又有人告诉我他的名字不合适,说新的名字好像是女孩子的,推荐我再起一次了!最后改成"沈晓文".比较有意思,而且很强
His name is way better than mine, if only he knew what I went through!
On a language note, I wanted to write something to the effect of "The ink wasn't even dry before someone said that the name I'd given him sounded like a little girls name". I originally wrote "我那个时候墨没干就有人告诉我.." Anyone got any ideas on that? Maybe a 四字词 or a 成语? Thanks!
Posted on: Saved by the Gong: Chemistry
December 23, 2008 at 12:28 AMPart of speach being key here, it can be used as an adjective. For the noun "chemical", I would probably go for "化学制品". Maybe there's a more concise word but it eludes me :)
