I totally love that this dialogue refers to other road users as 对手.

你说,“我把书弄破了”。我觉得你的体力很大。我不能把书弄破。

nǐ shuō,“wǒ bǎ shū nòng pòle”. wǒ juéde nǐ de tǐlì hěn dà. wǒ bùnéng bǎ shū nòng pò.

In the grammar section we have the following example of the 把 sentence pattern.

The pattern is:
把 (bǎ) N/Pronoun V [other]

前男友写给她的信了。

I'm slightly confused as to what the "other" component is in this sentence. Can 了 count as other?

You aren't alone, for some reason I imagined a tiny little dinghy. No way the elephant could fit in that.

为什么这个故事没说“大船”,哈哈。

Thanks Jenny. Was just hoping they hadn't gone missing in the upgrade :)

Is this lesson missing a grammar section?

如果服务器掉线的话,不应该重启。王冠是不好的网管。他应该去核那个问题。

Works for me: Chrome 13 on Lion. Isn't 14 the beta or dev channel?
