有一次我和我的美国朋友聊起我家的趣事,我原本想说,我妈会撒谎(lie)逗我爸玩儿。但是说出来的却是“My mom cheated on him(我妈对我爸不忠)”……很久之后,我才意识到自己的错误,终于明白为啥朋友们都对我表示同情。
很多人常常将cheat和lie混为一谈,但其实两者有很大区别。Lie表示说谎、撒谎,而cheat则指欺诈、欺骗,cheat on可表示对配偶或伴侣不忠。

The awkward experience when I tried to buy a snap-on case for my HTC in Oxford:
我的糗事是,当我在牛津给我的HTC手机买手机壳时:
Me: Hey, I want a snap-on case for my HTC G qi (the Chinese pinyin for seven).
Salesman: For what?
Me: G qi.
Salesman: What?
Me: G! Qi!
Salesman: G… what?
Me: … G seven.
我:嗨,我想要一个HTC G七。
售货员:啥?
我:G七
售货员:啥?
我:G!七!
售货员:G啥?
我:……G seven

When I messaged my foreign professor, he always used some abbreviations. So sometimes I also used this form such as 3Q for thank you. One day I suddenly realized that foreigners pronounce 3 as "three" rather than Chinese pinyin "san" (whose pronunciation sounds similar to "thank")…
