Jabber's English Note---play dead

jabber(jabber)
Some animals play dead if they are caught. In the fairy story, the kids are taught to play dead if a grizzly bear is approaching.

Now in the family life, we may see some husbands and wives play dead after they go home back from work. Their true motivations are to elude from house work.

If your spouse play dead after coming back from work, just give him or her a shout: "Don't play dead. I am gonna kick your ass. You know I am even more tired than you!"

    • A good GG would never shout to a lady about gonna to kick her ass. ^_* -asdfasdf(牛牛很牛); 2002-12-17 (#919940@0)
      • Whatever English you write, it is fine. But it is a horrible practice to put "GG", "MM", "LG", "LP" and similar things into your English writing. -jabber(jabber); 2002-12-17 (#919976@0)
        • It's Rolia slang, anyways. Who cares. -cornflakewhite(cornflake); 2002-12-17 (#920281@0)
          • Well,at least jabber cares:-) -fatboy(大胖墩儿厨); 2002-12-17 (#920295@0)
    • "after they go home back from work" 读起来有点儿别扭. 改成:" after they come home from works"? "You know I am even more tired than you" 是否加个are .成"than you are" 合适些? -ingridchao(Ingrid); 2002-12-17 (#920358@0)
      • You are right. Thank you. . I should have polished my stuff. -jabber(jabber); 2002-12-17 {137} (#920553@0)
        Both "than you" and "than you are" are good. The most important thing for us is to express ourselves, not the gramatical correctness.
        • 什么是one coup? -asdfasdf(牛牛很牛); 2002-12-17 (#920561@0)
          • ??? 为什么偶钉住了你还能改???? -asdfasdf(牛牛很牛); 2002-12-17 (#920569@0)
            • From this, we can see there is a threading or transaction problem in Sailor's code. -jabber(jabber); 2002-12-17 (#920576@0)
          • Sorry, I have modified my comments before yours. "At one coup", roughly speaking, means "at one single effort." -jabber(jabber); 2002-12-17 (#920571@0)
            • Oh, I see, I have to admit that this is the vey first time for me to hear this expression. -asdfasdf(牛牛很牛); 2002-12-17 (#920579@0)
