June 10, 2011 at 4:37 PMExpansionno.2in its 2nd partis better said as "The roads are jammed". Why has 'food' been left out after 'speciality' in no.6? Also, 'jīntiān' has been dropped in the English of no.8 when it seems essential to the meaning of the statement.
No.10 as "I heard the mayor this afternoon is going to come tour our factory" is good English and follows precisely the Mandarin syntax. Why not follow Mandarin syntax whenever you can if it does not jar with English syntax? It's hard enough already having to cope with Mandarin syntax.
In no.13 it seems allright to translate 'zuò' as 'get', ergo "I often go get foot massages". Finally, why not in no.15 "Can you help me massage it a bit?"

June 6, 2011 at 7:58 PM"He hit another three-pointer" might be a slightly better translation for the last expansion exercise.

June 11, 2011 at 7:52 PMIn the dialogue shēngjiān is translated as pork-fried buns, but in the vocabulary its pork-fried dumplings, so is it both or just one of the two, buns or dumplings?
