To John:)
<P>Your blog is awesome!</P><P>Thank you for telling me the differences between SUPPER & DINNER.</P>
<P>Here's a sentence from your blog I am puzzled about:</P>
<P>"话说在前面，我是一个很容易被感动的人，但昨天晚上的比赛确实把我给感动了"</P>
<P>Don't you think it's logically wrong?[em01]</P>
<P>Your Chinese is 99% perfect, but you said to pick it apart![em07]</P>
<P>P.S.:Two questions</P>
<P>从悬崖上摔下来是fall off the cliff还是fall from the cliff</P>
<P>eg: She fell off the cliff yesterday or she fell from the cliff yesterday?<BR></P>
<P>点燃蜡烛是light a candle还是light up a candle？</P>
<P>eg:I lit a candle in my bedroom to look for my watch or I lit up a candle in my bedroom to look for my watch?</P>
<P>Thank you in advance!<BR></P> Hi! Thanks for your comments about my blog.<br><br>You're right about that sentence. Several people have pointed out that it's wrong. I think I'll go ahead and change it. Actually, what I was trying to express was the fact that, because I'm easily moved, it's not surprising that I was moved by the speech competition. Any ideas on how to express that?<br><br>As for your questions...<br><br>1. Both are okay.<br><br>2. The first one is more commonly used, though the second might be acceptable in some situations.<br><br>----<br>[size=1][url=http://blog.sina.com.cn/m/john/]http://blog.sina.com.cn/m/john/[/url][/size]<br>
About John' blog!
<P>It would be,"话说在前面，我是一个很容易被感动的人，所以昨天晚上的比赛确实把我给感动了."</P><P>So keep on writing your blog in Chinese. You can see that everyone enjoys reading it.</P>
<P>I can't believe it's by an American. Your Chinese is amazing! </P> Thanks for your advice and encouragement! :)<br>
