Chinese boys, you need to sharpen your spoken English ability

>>看楼主提及这么多人的贴, 惟独没有敢回亦愚的贴, 大概心里除了默认, 还有一点胆怯吧....  <<

I just put him on ignore, because responding to his postings will waste my precious time. I'd like to leave my time for handling three interviews a week. I'm sure he has no such abilities to tell a difference between right and wrong, in a word, "too rudimentary!"

I doubt he has an ability to write English essays, let alone good ones.

一周三个interview, 难怪这么有底气啊，哈哈

不过我相信这里多数人是已经能体味到楼主掩饰不住的得意之情了。

Too naive...

>>我一直以为你是女的呢，搞了半天是带把的，对不起。<<

It seems that you have in fact lost your confidence, as a boy, in writing English responses.

The more you post this kind of stuff, the more face you'll lose, and the more girls will look down upon you.

You should follow White Dragon's suit: step down in our debate while improving your own English ability at home. Several years later, you may be in much better shape than am I. In this respect, I admire White Dragon's courage of tacitly accepting his mistakes.

此言差矣！我写十个汉字，楼主却要用一百个外国字来反驳我，以逸待劳，不奕快哉。

>>我建议你直接说顺我者昌逆我者亡就得了。话说回来，我还是狠感谢楼主发了这个帖子，给我的无聊生活带来一点乐趣，还让我知道世界上有这么一种人存在。<<

If most Chinese were to be drunk and I sober here, I'd like to.

From this thread I've seen I'm so "strong", even though in the face of Americans I feel pretty weak.

So that's why you are only a scientist, but not a businessman

不好意思你的话我没有看懂。你是想嘲笑我还是什么意思？什么叫ONLY a scientist？你我之间的讨论需要对事还是对人？

当Vagabond小姐讲到中国女子所以能嫁给洋人, 洋女人不嫁中国男人.
也让我有了别的意味,学英文似乎是嫁了阔老的公子, 宗旨倒并不在
公子. 这种主权旁移, 包含了一个转了弯的, 不很朴素的人生观.
其实这倒也是假道学所提倡的，调情会变成恋爱,附庸风雅会养成
内行的鉴赏，世界上不少”真”货色都是从冒牌起的。所以假可以
说是真的学习时期。不过，假也好，真也好，行善必有善报。
真道学死后也许可以升天堂，假道学生前就可以上CD的讲堂。
这是多么令她欣慰的事.

其实我还有个一偏之见, 读了Vagabond小姐的批句, 让我顿悟到不配教训人的人其实是最宜教训人, 这样方能显出她的本领,造化. 而Vagabond小姐的反驳, 也突然感悟到肮脏的人其实也是爱洁的, 因为她宁可不洗澡也不愿用旁人的浴具, 一身”香”汗, 满口腥味, 也断然不可用旁人的牙刷和手巾. “洁身自好”倒是一句话颇有深度的成语.

我其实也常常的奇怪, 天下何以有这许多人, 自告奋勇来做义务导师, 发表文章, 教训一番. 大概是怕被人遗忘了. 好像古代帝王家里的仕女, 即使不被受宠, 也要涂了厚厚的胭脂, 惹的人多看几眼. 头脑简单的人也许要说她: 自己尚未长本领而教训他人, 那叫假本领. 我的回答是: 假本领也没什么不好, 也是可以得志的. 假本领比真本领更加难能可贵. 用真本领教训他人, 那算不得什么稀奇.用假本领教人才算得工夫.

我想人生总是有很多的感悟, 写点东西就只当是在人生边上注了眉批. 当然猴子的屁股大家也看尽了, 不如扯个淡早一点收场吧.

>>我考，你有没有看懂我的东西啊，还把he改成she, 我在说亦愚有幽默感，你当我说你哪？来啊，来咬我啊，用彩色的字！<<

If so, where are the quotation marks or other tags?

It seems that every Chinese who can't tell male and female apart in their expressions can resort to such an excuse. THOSE Chinese who can't tell apart males from females THROUGH their expressions can resort to such an excuse (what excuse, be specific!)

To tell you what, I only dug out a couple of minor mistakes made by RobertChu (GOOD FOR YOU!), such as misspelling intention into "intension", which is (WHAT "WHICH" REFERS TO, IF REFERS TO MISTAKES, YOU SHOULD USE "WHICH ARE"; IF REFERS TO "MISSPELLING", I'M AFRAID IT'S AN ILLEGAL USE HERE ACCORDING TO GMAT RULES.HEHE. BECAUSE YOU USED "MISSPELLING" AS A PRESENT PARTICIPLE) totally forgivable (HOW GENEROUS YOU ARE, HEHE). By disclosing your errors in public, I wish (HOPE IS BETTER HERE BECAUSE "WISH" USUALLY REFERS TO SOMETHING YOU WANT BADLY TO BECOME TRUE BUT "HOPE" MEANS
TO EXPECT IT TO BE FULFILLED.FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN SAY "I WISH I BE A BORN AMERICAN) you could remake a brand-new self-assessment from now on (YES, YOU SHOULD)and discipline yourself in later expressions.

It's totally understandable that most Chinese, especially boys, never accept ADMIT their mistakes in public but MAY correct them THOSE ERRORS (HAVE TAKEN GMAT? WHAT DOES "THEM" HERE REFER TO?) in private due to BECAUSE OF (DUE TO A FACT. if you want to use "due to", you need to add something to specific such as "due to the fear of losing face") the "FACE ISSUE". Hope you are the type; otherwise, you'd lose your chance of elevating yourself. VERY AWKWARD. YOU WANT TO CONVEY CLEAR MEANING NOT JUST ASSEMBLE THE SUPPOSED RIGHT WORDS TOGETHER.  IT'S BETTER TO SAY "hope you are this type of person who is at least willing to correct the mistake in private, blah blah".   

wow, Sorry you will have more work to do. Google it and defend yourself. Good luck!

嘿嘿！你老人家自认为把我打败了是吧？好有自信啊！

说实话，我只是不想再跟一个歇斯底里的狂妄症患者浪费时间了

你好自为之吧！

有这样一句话：一个中国人是条龙，十个中国人是条虫；一个一本银是条虫，十个一本银是条龙。

如果大家都能团结一点，或许现在大家都不用去米国。

Sorry, should be "which(=mistakes, not misspelling...) are", not "which is".

It's totally understandable that most Chinese, especially boys, never accept ADMIT their mistakes in public but MAY correct them THOSE ERRORS (HAVE TAKEN GMAT? WHAT DOES "THEM" HERE REFER TO?) in private due to BECAUSE OF (DUE TO A FACT. if you want to use "due to", you need to add something to specific such as "due to the fear of losing face") the "FACE ISSUE".

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22accept+their+mistakes%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&tab=nw&sa=N

The use of 'admit' is better than that of 'accept'.

If 'them' under the environment of 'correct them' is never understood as 'Chinese' or 'boys' here, the use of 'them can be undoubtedly justified'.

Error1: double 'here' in one sentence.

Error2: 'something to specific'.

...

Sure no time to sift out your errors. I have to prepare for my interviews and a laundry list of contacts and thank-notes.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

我不太明白，本来这帖子是说中国人（男生）需要增强英语口语的呀，为什么变成一场骂架啦？就算大家赢了嘴仗，也改变不了咱（中国男女生）技不如人（印度人）的事实啊。

在跨文化交流方面，咱绝对差了不是一步半步；而内讧相互拆台的本事，咱可算世界领先。
