发帖数: 1700 | 1 There was a guy wanted to get in our company, but when he was about
to be rejected, he made some bad comments of the fenshui...
1. our room number is #24-11, so 24-11=13, bad luck; if you pronouce
#24-11 in cantonese means "easy to die, definitely die one by one" ,
in Mandarin means "hungry & starved to death for sure, one by one"
2. The telephone number 3244292 in cantonese means "business failure
for sure, the easy road to failure"
Then he was rejected immediately :P
We were offerred unit 14-1 |

some people said my english's intonation is not better than even Robot!
So I am very curious how a Robot knows the intonation?
I can pronouce each word very correctly like a robot has all words'
pronunciation.
But I cannot know the actual pronunciation of each word in sentence.
How a robot know this?
Supposed it can know which words are stressed in the sentence and which
words
are unstressed, and which kind of sentence it is, statement or Y/N quesion
or
WH question. Is there anything else a r |

also when i speak fast sometimes and under casual circumstances, i ignore

instead |

发帖数: 16778 | 15 Linking is so difficult for me.
I am wondering if you know when and where to link two words
(first one ending in consonent and second one beginning with vowel).
NOT all con+vowel should be connected together. Why?
for example, how do you pronouce the following phrase?
pieces of evidence
1) pE-s&-ve-vi-d&ns
2) pE-s&v e-vi-d&ns

发帖数: 13 | 16 我到美国来有三个难以启齿的绰号。
两年前，有个朋友要结婚，酒桌上高朋满坐，有北美联合防空总司令，中国人民
野战军总政委，二炮炊事班长等。我们这一桌博士在实验室里苦逼了多年，愈久
弥骚，那骚还是大雨刚来临之前的那种骚，闷得让人无法呼吸。。。
由于有妹子在场，我们有点胆怯，聊得磕磕巴巴，几杯酒下肚，状态恢复，逐渐
大胆放肆，扯十遍能扯出十一个蛋
当时是菊花盛开的季节，我们也交流了咏菊方面脍炙人口的名句
正当其他人基情四射的时候，我感觉好像一个“徐小菊”的声音一直在冲我这个
方向喊，
我马上抬头，确认下不是在对我说话，
只见一张兴奋得翻红的脸正得意地望着我，四目以对，中间隔着咱俩的眼镜，
我怒火中烧，这绰号可是攸关名声和原则的问题，怎么能叫得这么萎缩，况且也
名不符实。
我想来两句俏皮话来镇镇场，可恨那时口舌十分不灵，一句句话单在脑里面回
旋，开不了口，
最后这场关于意识形态的大战只是以我的静坐抗议收尾，
后来“徐小菊”还被别人衍生为"徐日葵"了, 唉。。。
第二个别名是徐总统。
有一次搬家，那房子旧式的，我左看右看像初中历史书的总统府，
加上我对历史军事比较爱好，曾被授予“三战名将” “论... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 285 | 23 it probably dosen't happen to chinese names very often, but if somehow the
name of the doctor, by the way it's pronounced, can be kind of funny, or
awkward, then would you change your name?
we've probably all seen a surgeon named Butcher, or a GI doctor named Colon(
though doesn't pronouce that way), what about pediatrician named Wiener?
just imagine he walks into peds ward, and the kids say, here comes Dr.

yet.
We can do skype or in person (if you are in NYC, too). My available time is
after 8:30pm in weekdays and full day of weekends.
I prefer someone who is willing to dicuss questions in English. Well, you
have to speak English and pronouce all medical terms correctly when you do
your residency soon, right?
Please drop me a line if you are interested. |

标 题: 怎么才能提高孩子的spelling能力？
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Mon Apr 13 11:03:59 2009)
我的孩子上小学一年级，阅读还可以，至少老师说还可以，能读粗浅的chapter book,
读完可以理解里面的大部分内容。
但就是spelling很差，象remember这样规范的词都不会拼写。和老师也谈了几次了，老
师是建议多读书，希望见得单词多了，就记住怎么拼写了。但目前成效不大，读书的时
候见到单词会pronouce, 但放下书就不会spell了：（
大家有没有这方面的经验：怎么才能提高孩子的spelling能力？ |
|
m******l
发帖数: 2472 | 30 我觉得phonics 只是一个敲门砖，让孩子知道原来spell和pronouce可以联系起来。
过了这个，重点还是多读，多熟悉单词，这里有的妈妈没有教孩子phonics,孩子也学会
了阅读。 |

是，这是字对字翻译
samyaksambodhi
sam means together or refined.
Samskrit, the language literally means something refined, well made.
You seem the root kr in English word create (k becomes c but pronouced like
k).
samyak = sam + i + anc
i is a verb root means to go.
anc is another verb root means to bend (to bow in reverence).
samyak literally means coming together and bent in reverence.
Then there is another sam.
Bodhi comes from the verb root to know and this indicates the experience of
enlightenment. |
