你真是受不了(ni zhen shi shou bu liao) sounds like should be 你真是不得了(ni zhen shi bu de liao)
GREAT another damn Canadian infecting the streets of Beijing. Before it was that stupid Titanic soundtrack with Celine Dion, now its pseudo-punk rock crapola ala Avril.
Looks like only Steve Nash, Maple Syrup, and Moose are the only cool things to ever come from that wannabe U.S. state.
Is Danwei.org becoming the #1 portal for pre-emo teens and little girls??? A quick suggestion: you need more Miley Cyrus/Hanna Montana vids.
Whatever you choose Danwei, I support you! I will always be there for you!!! 101%!!
It's difficult to criticize Ms. Lavigne for massacring Chinese when most English-language pop songs are already sung in dreadful English.
"According to Shanghaiist (h/t to Danwei), Lavigne is poised to make a lot more than mere BJS Bucks by localizing her product with some nips and tucks of Zhonglish..."
Instant Zhonglish improvement -- guaranteed
