不看视频就在哪里”事实“同学你事实的过于容易了。
ＪＫ亲口说的那句 shall we let Chinese to live 你咋看不到呢？
根据英文字典解释：
Chinese:a : a native or inhabitant of Chinab : a person of Chinese descent
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chinese
也就是说，这句话很容易被理解成我们是否要任何有Chinese descent的人活着。 这不
是种族灭绝言论是什么？

发帖数: 67 | 23 The meaning of "perspective" here is, as defined in Merriam-Webster, "the
capacity to view things in their true relations or relative importance." The
phrase means to see things in their true relations with with others, don't
view trivial things more important than they are or significant things less
important than they are.
Examples:
1. Referring to the Fort Hood shooting, a researcher said "It's important to

标 题: 这句话里的excuses到底是什么意思？考考你们的英语实力
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Tue Jul 16 21:44:20 2013, 美东)
这句话出自最新畅销书World War Z的Page 12:
I was an importer: raw opium, uncut diamonds, girls, boys, whatever was
valuable from those primitive excuses for countries.
这里的excuses是什么意思？
从这个单词还可以看出，Merriam-Webster的字典也并不完美，在此处就缺了一个释义。
反而是我之前推荐过的Macmillan Dictionary for Student (1984年版)，却包含了这
个释义。足见本人推荐字典的水准之高。 |

that." Trump even urged listeners to "read the definition in the dictionary
of pathological disease," if they didn't believe him.
Merriam-Webster defines "pathological" as "1: Of or relating to pathology"
and "2: Altered or caused by disease; also indicative of disease," and "3:
Being such to a degree that is extreme, excessive, or markedly abnormal." |

When do you use relations and when do you use relationship? Can I say "I am
in relations with him?"
These two words both mean the same thing ("the way in which two or more
people, groups, countries, etc., talk to, behave toward, and deal with each
other"), and so some of their uses overlap, but they have different
