dimsumgal Posted November 25, 2008 at 01:34 AM Report Posted November 25, 2008 at 01:34 AM Hi all! I have a chinese idiom assignment that I'm currently working on. However, I simply cannot find the english translation to "昜如反掌" It would also be nice to have some examples of Chinese usage. Thank you and have a great day! Quote

aprilz Posted November 26, 2008 at 12:08 PM Report Posted November 26, 2008 at 12:08 PM Another sentence: 我们的一位中学语文老师经常在上课的时候，讲着讲着就从唐代诗人讲到了苏联特务。虽然离题万里，但是我们都听得津津有味。 Quote
