Posted on: The Attitude Pattern (yǒu shénme... 有什么...)
July 15, 2008 at 1:15 PMThat's strange, wolson. I swear I was the first today, but my comments disappeared after I woke up from my nap. 我写得有什么不好呢？
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can also add 这么 and 那么 to this pattern. E.g. 她有什么那么漂亮呢？

July 15, 2008 at 10:35 AM我刚刚去看 Elton John 的音乐会来。我买的当然票是真的。在这儿没有可能买到假的，因为所有的票是在一个中央卖票社 买的。除了网上拍卖网点，没有什么看到有黄牛。

July 12, 2008 at 10:04 AMNice useful topic. Do you use 死 in place of 破 when you want to angrily describe a really nasty living thing? We do that in Cantonese, and I wonder if it translates into Mandarin as well. For example, if your neighbour's cat leaves its smelly litter in your garden, can you say, “ 死猫！"?

July 11, 2008 at 12:55 PMNo sweat, Michele. From your description of emocromo, it does sound like blood count. Ciao! :)

July 11, 2008 at 10:22 AMHaving just said what I did, I believe for everyday conversations, 血红素 is fine to use as a term for haemoglobin since it translates to 'red pigment of the blood' which is what most people take it to be anyway.
Sorry, typo above:
haemochrome/haematin/haem - 血红素

July 11, 2008 at 10:04 AMNot a doctor, but hopefully my pharmaceutical training will put me in good stead here. Haemoglobin is the component of the RBC which carries oxygen and consists of haematin (also known as haemochrome, a pigment which contains the iron chelate complex called haem), and a protein known as globulin.
haemoglobin - 血红蛋白
haematin/haemochrome/haem - 血红系

July 16, 2008 at 11:04 AMHaha, Changye, you using Chinesepod for English? That's quite unexpected. I think the Ele listeners will still benefit from today's lesson as it is sometimes useful to have a long rambling lesson with familiar or simple terms just as a revision thing, and Newbie listeners also may find this a less intimidating step up to the next level.
