Yep, would be nice. What is CPOD's presence on Sina?

I'm pretty sure addressing someone as 陈同志 ie putting their surname first, can only be interpreted as Comrade Chen.

Some similar ones: 老大妈，老奶奶，老兄，老弟，丫头 etc.

Is my understanding correct that if  老头 (address to old man) is disrespectful if said 老头儿 but a wife can call her husband 老头子 and that's OK (well at least not any more disrespectful than usual ;-)

对话听不清楚的地方：

0039 很大的 guar 啊

606 还没被[伯乐]发现 - 难道是我在成语故事遇见过的伯乐？

903 一家都有[嘟囔着说出来什么]对吧:-)

1102 “忽略不计” 是个固定搭配吗？

1202 让人看了[pengbixie]

1233 不是一个确切的数字，它是一个[泛指]，实际数量。。

其它问题：

“尚未”的用法是不是跟我们最近学过“仍未”差不多？

在这样的正式发言里，能不能用“何故”来表示“为什么”的意思？

没想到可以用“成千上万”来修饰“潜在”这样抽象的，不可数的观念，可以说“这个市场有成千上万的前途”或“成千上万的想象空间”吗？

谢谢您！

explores alternate reasons driving the problem. I don't doubt that there is currently a problem and tremendous pressure on parents and potential grooms (even though I joked about it, it would obviously be great if the viewpoint advocated by Lu Jiao Jie were more widely held). One of the opening lines by Xu Zhou in the podcast says it all. The theory of "competitive saving" by parents is explored here:

I have tried it (and sometimes accidentally wore the wrong set of shoes and only realized later). I am sceptical of these theories too for two reasons. My running style is highly "unnatural" -- run 30-60 minutes every 2-3 days on flat and hard surfaces. A hunter-gatherer would presumably run hours over varied terrain and then rest days. Sadly, my lifestyle cannot accommodate this pattern.

Furthermore, ideas coming from civilizations or periods where the life expectancy is low (the high expectancy of the Mexican Indian tribe you mentioned could be explained by genetic differences) really do need to be taken with a pinch of salt by someone like me on the other side of 40, and hoping to continue until 80 (a link for you: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/28/magazine/28athletes-t.html)

Not sure how that book you mentioned ended up on my Kindle -- blame one-click ordering I guess.

"just wearing old trainers"

If you're 1.60 and weigh 60 kilos you can do this. I would not survive even a 2km run. Also Chinese people sweat less, so a wicking fabric is not really needed.

If that makes me sound like I'm tall, fat and sweaty, not far off the mark, especially according to Chinese perceptions.

Thanks Connie! Google agrees that 一匹狼 is more frequent than the others.

But, 一匹大灰狼 is pretty rare. My theory is that ”大灰狼“ is mostly seen in children's stories and using 只 is used to 可爱化 a bit.

Very interesting.
