May 14, 2009 at 1:53 PMHi siteng. You just said 积极的机会,which would mean "positive chance".Right?
Here's a useful phrase for you.
轉機 means a turning point that is positive.
But, 機會 will never be 積極, which is used to describe people.
I'll welcome all questions.

May 14, 2009 at 1:33 PMSomething I'd like to add about 開導 is that 開導 is often used when you describe someone trying to change another one's mind by offering advice and opinions.
e.g. 她堅持自己一個人去 ，但她朋友覺得不妥，所以正在開導她。
She insists on her going alone, but her friend doesn't find it proper so he(her friend) is enlightening her.

激動 doesn't mean "exciting".
他很激動 will never be "he's exciting".

偏見 is the equivalent to "prejudice".

We use 刻版印象 in Taiwan.
I hope that this helps.

May 14, 2009 at 2:00 PMIt's a little tricky here.
"Positive" means 積極的.
Someone can be positive.
Something can be positive.
But,
Someone can be 積極.
Something cannot be 積極.
