Jeff ,
There are still a lot you didn’t talk about yet
Last night ,I was driving pass the skid row,and it occurred to me
You never talk about it
All crack addicts and so on
Nice topic to discuss
Thank you so much, Emiliano, I picked up a very good word from your message to Øyvor.
The word ‘imperceptible’ is a new word for me. The English dictionary explains it as ‘ So subtle, slight, or gradual as to be barely perceptible’.
When I used the language tool in ‘google.com.hk’ website to find out the Chinese meaning of it, the Chinese translation of this word is even more beautiful – they used a ‘four character idiom’ to explain this word.
I really like this word.
Thanks again
Betty
