爱粤语的朋友必须要看看下图。其实在西方国家很少有人把粤语当dialect(方言)，而是把它当成一种语言。我们大多数人以为China只有两种语言: Mandarin(普通话)和Cantonese(粤语)，而且不知道哪些中国人讲哪种语言。下图只是加强我们已知道的: Cantonese will never die展开全文
昨天我们的教学点搞"做西餐"活动时,有学生问我"Do you like war game?"。我完全听不懂是什么意思,之后他又说"It's CS, but in real life."。CS是啥？后来他解释了很久，我才发现很多中国朋友不知道这些准确的英文单词：CS(电脑游戏)=Counter-Strike、真人CS=Paintball、激光版真人CS=Laser Tag展开全文
我以前不明白为啥我问中国朋友"Why?"的时候答案通常是"No why"!原来就是简单地把中文的"不为什么"直译成"No why"!但是不能用英语说"No why".千万不要这样说!应该说"No (particular) reason"或"It just is","I just am"等.例如:"Why can't you say 'no why' in English?" "No reason. You just can't!"展开全文

Oh no!从加拿大回广州后就开始长痘痘了,所以想起可以教一些教材很少有的,跟粉刺有关的英语单词:Puberty=青春期 Acne=粉刺 Pimple/Zit=痘痘 Blackhead=黑头 Oily Skin=油性皮肤 Hormones=荷尔蒙.例如"How come I didn't hit puberty 'til I was in my 30s?为什么我30几岁才有青春期?"(图里不是我)展开全文
常见的#中式英语#:今天有学生跟我说"I dated my friend tonight".我以为他的意思是"约会",就说"跟朋友Date怪怪的吧".其实Date、go on a date、have a date=约会.但目的都是romance.想说"约人"可以用Meet,Go out with等.如:"I'm meeting a friend tonight, then going on a date with a hot girl"展开全文
有学生想跟我讲"珠江污染很严重",他说"Zhu Jiang River is polluted".其实那样说不太好,Jiang的意思是River,所以那样的英文对应中文是"珠江江"!其实很多中国地名有英文名字:珠江(三角洲)=The Pearl River(Delta),广州塔=The Canton Tower,西藏=Tibet,内蒙古=Inner Mongolia.有些东西不能直接翻译,看图展开全文
