When these characters are used together does it mean "must be"? 3. 衬衫配V领套头衫为宜 Really confused here. Something about a V-neck shirt matching? 4. 有良好的生活习惯方面 "Have good life habits"? Here I'm not sure why they put 方面 at the end of the sentence. 5. 需要时会对女方说“我爱你” Here I'm not sure about the use of the character 时. Does this imply "often"? THANK YOU! Quote
li3wei1 Posted March 4, 2013 at 05:25 PM Report Posted March 4, 2013 at 05:25 PM It would help if you gave us the full sentences. Sometimes grammatical constructions can involve characters scattered around the sentence, so these may refer to characters in other parts of the sentence. Quote

"方面" is unnecessary,or the sentence is not complete. 5.时=时候 e.g. 那时,那时候 they mean “at that time” a similar word “时常” means “often” ,but they are different. Quote

creamyhorror Posted March 5, 2013 at 02:48 PM Report Posted March 5, 2013 at 02:48 PM Here's the version from xinhuanet: 每个女性心目中都有属于自己的“完美先生”。英国一项最新调查显示,如今成为“完美先生”需具备30项具体条件,包括身高、收入、头发颜色、座驾品牌、饮食习惯、穿着品味、卫生习惯乃至与母亲关系。 具体画像 英国百年服装品牌“奥斯汀·里德”调查2000名女性,让她们为“完美先生”画像。 结果显示,英国女性心目中,外形方面,“完美先生”身高应为1.83米,棕色眼睛,黑色短发,体格健壮,穿着时尚,以牛仔裤、衬衫配V领套头衫为宜。 生活习惯方面,他不吸烟、吃肉、爱喝啤酒、爱看足球赛、看肥皂剧、出门前打扮17分钟、不蓄胡子、爱购物。 经济实力方面,他年薪4.8万英镑(约合7.74万美元)左右,比女方收入高,开“奥迪”车。 其他方面,他需有本科及本科以上学历,爱开玩笑,体谅人,有驾照,会给汽车换轮胎,会游泳,会骑自行车,需要时会对女方说“我爱你”,承认在大街上看美女,以家庭为重,经常与自己的母亲通电话…… Notice the punctuation difference before "生活习惯方面,他不吸烟、吃肉" - it makes the sentence grammatically correct, where it wasn't in your quote. 生活习惯方面,他不吸烟、吃肉 With respect to habits, he doesn't smoke, eat meat, ... (literally: "[on] the aspect of life habits") 1 Quote
wlee08 Posted March 5, 2013 at 03:18 PM Author Report Posted March 5, 2013 at 03:18 PM Interesting, that part about not smoking, or eating meat, wasn't included in the article I found at cntv http://english.cntv.cn/program/learnchinese/20120521/114473.shtml Unfortunately it seems they removed the audio so I probably will no longer use this article for study, Thanks for your help Quote
陳德聰 Posted March 5, 2013 at 03:42 PM Report Posted March 5, 2013 at 03:42 PM 以牛仔裤、衬衫配V领套头衫为宜 jeans and a collared shirt paired with a v-neck pullover are preferable/better. Quote
