January 22, 2010 at 7:16 AMHey John, I'm glad you cleared that up. I think that the belief in the zodiac is similar to religion in the sense they both believe in something that we cannot explain using logic, so I guessed 信仰. But on the other hand, I have never heard, "I have faith in the zodiac," although I'm sure it has been said before.

January 22, 2010 at 7:03 AMHey Jenny, I used 信仰 below. Which is better, 信仰 or 相信?
PS: Nice meeting you the other night!

我想告诉大家一件让我有点烦的事情。在美国，我有很多信仰星座的朋友，但是我一点也信仰，我觉得这样的预言未来的系统是一种迷信。问题是他们朋友知道我是金牛座的，按照星座系统，金牛座一般不愿意信仰这样的神秘的思想，所他们笑着说"Phil，你就是个典型的金牛座！"总之我无论说星座是真的还是假的，他们都觉得星座是个事实，是一种catch-22。

January 22, 2010 at 2:26 AMSorry, but I'm going to get pg-13 on you guys. I hope you don't mind. Anyway...
When I first came to China, I was with a group of new Chinese acquaintances. One of them said to me point blank, "I'm a virgin. Are you?" I couldn't fight back a smirk, and that smirk was in danger of bursting into sheer laughter. Back then, I hadn't quite developed my ability to understand what Chinese really want to say when they don't know how to say it, so I honestly thought the guy was sincere.
Later it dawned on me, "Oh, he meant 'I'm a Virgo' (probably)."

January 20, 2010 at 1:12 AMCPod，不好意思，我要咬文嚼字。在课文中，Jenny说了“说服shuōfú”，但是，我有一位中文老师说“有的人说shuōfú，不过我们应该说shuaìfú”。我们到底应该说什么？

January 23, 2010 at 11:01 AMBaba， 谢谢你的评论，好像我写错，我应该写“一点也‘不’相信。我不知道你熟悉这样的‘一点也不adjective’的句子（我猜你知道），意思是"not even a little bit 'adjective'"，所以I don't believe in it even a little bit。
谢谢你的善意的夸奖！
