A big thank in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoose Posted November 12, 2009 at 08:42 AM Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 at 08:42 AM There are many possible ways to complete the sentence, for example: 你学习成绩虽然不错，但清华大学要求的条件很高，而且考的人很多，所以除非你的成绩有所提高，你休想考进清华。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guoke Posted November 12, 2009 at 10:55 AM Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 at 10:55 AM 你学习成绩虽然不错，但清华大学要求的条件很高，而且考的人很多，什么闲杂人士都有所以要小心为妙啊。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiaocai Posted November 12, 2009 at 11:44 AM Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 at 11:44 AM Try to complete it with 有 instead of 有所 and see if you can swap the 有 with 有所 or not. It works most of the time. @ Guoke: I would give you 99 out of 100 for missing a comma if I were the teacher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiaoyue Posted November 12, 2009 at 03:15 PM Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 at 03:15 PM Thank you all very much for helping me complete the sentence. But... I still have not had a proper idea of the basic meaning of this word "有所" In anonymoose's sentence, it means "really", "very", while in Gouke's it means.... Well I am afraid I could not understand what Gouke's sentence means because there are few words I don't understand: "闲杂人" and "为妙". 大家啊！ 我仍很需要你们的帮助！！！！ 小越 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny同志 Posted November 12, 2009 at 03:29 PM Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 at 03:29 PM 你学习成绩虽然不错，但清华大学要求的条件很高，而且考的人很多，。。。。。。 I'd like to put it this way: 你成绩虽然不错，但清华要求很高，考的人又多，所以除非你有所突出表现，否则很难录取。 有所 = somewhat or to some extent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiaocai Posted November 12, 2009 at 03:34 PM Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 at 03:34 PM I think you can translate 有所 as something like "have some" here. It is indeed not a very accurate translation but it is the best I could come up with for now. So if we put it back into anonymoose's example, 有所提高 would mean have some improvement, which kind of makes sense. Guoke is a nasty student so just ignore his answer, and you will not miss much.

I was just kidding you! xiaocai is right, I'm nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
