hi,Jeremy! i happened to see you yesterday in Huali Building, is that you? i have a question to ask you, why do you like using to similar meaning words to describe a thing? i mean, i can see many of this in English sentences, like a rousing and motivating speech….the two words have similar meaning, but why do we use both?
thank you
Yolanda

Editor,
I just want to know the most often used and common ways to respond when some say’Thank you’ after you offered some help to them.
I always use the ‘You are welcome’,but it seems like not a very good way.
I also tried ‘No problem’ or ‘No big deal’.
Thank you.
Alex

In addition, given the concerns raised, we have decided that it’s best to stop our Street View cars collecting WiFi network data entirely.
对这句话可能有两种理解：
一、此外，考虑到人们对此问题的担忧，我们认为最好停用用来收集 Wi-Fi 数据的街景车。（停用街景车。）
二、此外，考虑到人们对此问题的担忧，我们认为最好停止用街景车来收集 Wi-Fi 数据。（停止收集 Wi-Fi 数据，但继续使用街景车。）

which one is right?

what’s the difference between “there is no book” and “there are no books”? 什么时候用单数形式，什么时候用复数形式？

How exactly is $1.53 pronounced?
Is it “One Fifty-three” or “One Point Fifty-three”?
I heard them both.
Do I have to add a “point”?

Lu, sorry to take so long to reply.

I have never heard the expression “tri-win”, but it makes sense so I am sure some people have used it.

However, it sounds horrible to me – please don’t use it.

If you really must translate so directly, couldn’t you say something like, “it benefited all three parties?”
