Sample Sentences

没错，理想化的说法是，如果真爱你就是二十四小时都有空，东南西北中都顺路。如果不秒回，至少得在一天之中给个回复吧，一通消息出去十天半个月才回复，那就别自欺欺人了，飞鸽传书都比这速度快。

That's right, in an ideal world, if he really loves you he'd have time for you twenty-four seven, and everything would always go your way. If he doesn't reply within seconds, he should at least reply that day. If you send a message and he doesn't reply for 10 days or a fortnight, then you shouldn't keep fooling yourself, you'd be quicker with a carrier pigeon.

但是博客的主题都是由博主自己来决定，访客只能针对这些主题回复自己的看法而已，却没有发表权。而在论坛，每个人都能自由发表或回复不同主题的帖子，得到自己想要的信息，所以我还是觉得论坛更实用。
dànshì bókè de zhǔtí dōu shì yóu bózhǔ zìjǐ lái juédìng ，fǎngkè zhǐnéng zhēnduì zhèxiē zhǔtí huífù zìjǐde kànfǎ éryǐ ，què méiyǒu fābiǎoquán 。ér zài lùntán ，měigerén dōu néng zìyóu fābiǎo huò huífù bùtóng zhǔtí de tiězi ，dédào zìjǐ xiǎng yào de xìnxī ，suǒyǐ wǒ hái shì juéde lùntán gèng shíyòng 。
But the topics on blogs are all determined by the blogger. Visitors can only only reply with their own opinions about these topics. They don't have the power to publish. But on forums, each person can publish freely or reply to different topics, and get the information he needs. So I still think forums are more useful.
