請問”the better a position you in”在這句話中正確否？以下摘自http://www.core-corner.com/Web2/GS/index.phpIt is feared that people unconsciously accept cultural imperialism while acquiring English. But, to adopt an alternative point of view, the more people you can communicate with, the better a position you in to spread your message.我覺得”the better a position you in”好像少了一個are，是這樣嗎？=>”the better a position you are in”請大大提供意見，謝謝！

請問有類似歇後語'沒有吃燒餅不掉芝麻'的英文嗎?

Is “as well” redundant and badly used here?A sentence needs your comment as follows:This accuse is not only lackbollocks but also inhuman to those who have accidentally involved as well.

any accurate adjectives or idioms to fit this question?

My elder sister's son is going to leave home to university after a few days.He once told us he's very worried about his parent's relationship which seems on the edge of divorce.After his being out of home,his parents will face their problem without any child by their side.That could force the family to the road of breaking-down which torments my nephew so much because that's a result he never want to see.My sis and brother- in- law are both very tough to each other .I discuss with my sis a couple of times only with little help. Now that time's going to be up ,with my nephew's failure trying to persuade his mother to be more tenderer whenever the couple has a fight The young man gets very angry with his mother . Another fight comes and the situation upsets me so much. I find no way to tell my nephew that his attitude about all of this is not proper and what would I do if I were him.

I know what a snobbery means.But is there any more accurate words or slang to describe those people ?

An Essay-"American Lament" in Oct.12 2009 says "I'm fully aware that American hubris and misjugement-lots of both- have gotten us into mess we're in.Yet at the same time.I'm pround of a world America's global achievement."

In this issue,I smell the arrogant and unresentful attitude about the American's role in the slump of the world economy.This issue is really an unpleasant one.Those who keeps on worshipping American's ecomomic policy is just being deceived by the mask that any of their innovation about the slump is not only for America herself but the whole world!

There once a man said before he died.

"When I was young I wish that I could change the world.

When I grew older I knew that my wish was too hard to be granted so I wished I could change the city where I lived.

After finding out that was also a wish not to come true.

I wish I could change my family instead.

By now, as I'm dying, I finally realize what should be changed is my own self.

Changing myseif so as to change my family and then my city as well.

Only In this way, have I got the chance to change my country ,and at last, the whole world."

Do you believe in what he said?

Why and how?

I watched a talk show discussing about how parents teach their children.One point of the attendants impressed me in an interesting but

doubtful way.

Here is what the point shows:

"When I was a little child I went to a toy factory with my classmates for a part time job one summer time.One day after our job was completed and without the boss aside.we took some colourful items that were deserted during the process of the manufacture.we thought they were useful for us to make things on our own.my father found out what I brought back home and asked where did they come from.I told him it was nothing because the factory would throw those trucks away after all.my father asked :"Did you do it with your boss' consent?"Certainly my answer is negative ."Then it's stealing,give them back right away tomorrow."I asked him why it's so serious as to be called a steal .Everyone did so not only me.and he said"If your classmates invite you to kill someone,would you follow as well? You think what you took from without consent is nothing,as a matter of fact nothing is more expensive than what's called free.you'd be taken as a thief for the rest of your life" .

Do you think the father was too harsh to his child or what he said was a good preach?

A woodsman had his ax stolen.He went to Confucious and told him his anxiety about the lost of his tool for living."You should be happy that someone else has got use of that ax!"was the answer he got.Being not so satisfied,the woodsman told the same thing to Lao-tzu and

another respose from this philosopher as follows:

"An ax is still an ax,no matter what."

So, which one do you prefer for the answer?

The sun light is the most important to our lives.We get darker from basking in the sun.Do we also get the same effect when we expose by large amount of fluorescent light ?

We use lamps to make some water plants grow .What's the difference is it from exposing to the sun light?

Now we are in the year of 2009 . That is 2009 years after Juses' birth.

But when was Jesus born? The first thunder of the world?

No matter what you believe,there surely is a creator of the universe.

Creator is Creator,but Who is the" Creator "of Creator?

Do'nt tell me it's Marco Polo(he's a spy!).

I believe there must had been someone not so famous as Matteo Ricci who came to China much earlier!

When I study history of England after Norman conquest times(after 1066),There comes the complex records about The House of Scotland,The House of Plantagent,The House of Toudors,Yorks....and so on.Is there a convinient way to know their history more briefly?

O.K,Here it goes:

花非花霧非霧

夜半來天明去

來如春夢不多時

去似朝雲無覓處

唐 白居易

My translation as follows:

Like flora it is but not itself

Like mist it is but not itself either!

Comes at midnight goes when dawn

Swiftly it appears as dream so fair

Yet it'll be gone

As the morning cloud nowhere to be found.

-Bai Ji Yi, Tang Dynasty.

I know people do need it.What I want to know is the pros and cons religion to human in your opinion.There're so many conflicts in this world caused by different beliefs,From the beginng of human history,people abuse religion in so many fields.----polics,commerce,war,humanity,ect.

In a way religion do hurt people and millions of them died for it I even think unworthy(no offence,I swear!).

It makes one just trust himself and God is in his own heart .One does'nt have to be a Christian,nor Muslim or Buddhist or other religionist.

My, am I an Atheist?

In the movie"Lady Jane",Queen Mary once persuaded Jane Grey to be a catholic and failed by the statement of her point of view of "trinity".

As to my acknowledgement there's been concensus about trinity among Christians .It confused me why this topic became a key discrepancy between Mary and Jane?
