color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Can't help</span>" a lot, but have not completely understand the meaning of this idiom.<br /><br />"<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Help</span>" itself means <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">to refrain from, or to avoid</span>.<br />"<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Can't help</span>" means <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">unable to refrain from</span>, <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">unable to resist</span>, or <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">can't prevent oneself from</span>.<br /><br />Example:<br />- <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">I can't help thinking about her</span>.<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Means I can't refrain myself from thinking about her</span>.<br /><br />Another usage of can't help is in the idiom "<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">can't help but</span>", which means the same as "<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">can't help</span>".<br /><br />Example:<br />- <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">She is so pretty that I can't help but admire her</span>.<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Means she is so pretty that I can't resist admiring her</span>.<br /><br />However, the use of "<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">can't help but</span>" in the example above has been condemned by some as the ungrammatical version of "<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">can't help</span>". Nevertheless, it is not a false usage of idiom to use "<span style="font-weight: bold;">can't help but</span>", it is just that "<span style="font-weight: bold;">can't help</span>" is more common nowadays.<br /><br />The example above has the same meaning as:<br />- <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">She is so pretty that I can't help admiring her</span>.Steven Luckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05335979566112962818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6359541297775081617.post-35451906188527548552010-02-17T23:35:00.000-08:002010-02-17T23:46:29.251-08:00Heart of Gratitude<center>A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AkKyUSS0XRE/S3zum4Uey5I/AAAAAAAAAQA/8Ny1XyS6_vU/s1600-h/01.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 272px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AkKyUSS0XRE/S3zum4Uey5I/AAAAAAAAAQA/8Ny1XyS6_vU/s400/01.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439484801677446034" border="0" /></a><br /><br />A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.<br /><br />Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AkKyUSS0XRE/S3zumpYaJeI/AAAAAAAAAP4/Hd_lCS-TXDg/s1600-h/02.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AkKyUSS0XRE/S3zumpYaJeI/AAAAAAAAAP4/Hd_lCS-TXDg/s400/02.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439484797667386850" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."<br /><br />I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."<br /><br />Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AkKyUSS0XRE/S3zumKNLg5I/AAAAAAAAAPw/8STMh9OA5po/s1600-h/03.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AkKyUSS0XRE/S3zumKNLg5I/AAAAAAAAAPw/8STMh9OA5po/s400/03.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439484789298791314" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have.. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.<br /><br />When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.<br /><br />The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…<br />And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;">Enjoy your day with a heart of gratitude.</span></span></center><br /><br />Got this from an email.

Here are the summary of the difference between Indonesian and Chinese pronunciation. To make it easier to learn, some examples are also provided :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" com="" albums="" ww18="" steven_luck1="" gif="" href="http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww18/steven_luck1/pinyin1.gif" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 570px; height: 800px;" src="http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww18/steven_luck1/pinyin1.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" com="" albums="" ww18="" steven_luck1="" gif="" href="http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww18/steven_luck1/pinyin1.gif" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 570px; height: 800px;" src="http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww18/steven_luck1/pinyin2.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408642127769544018" border="0" /></a>Steven Luckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05335979566112962818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6359541297775081617.post-51177139067958843062009-11-22T09:45:00.000-08:002009-11-22T09:57:57.188-08:00Cannot vs can notI undeliberately found out that "<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">cannot</span>" is different from "<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;">can not</span>", though I thought they were the same. There's a slight difference between "cannot" and "can not".<br /><br />The difference is that, "<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">cannot</span>" is used to show that <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">it's impossible to do the thing specified in the sentence</span>. While, "<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">can not</span>" means, <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;">the thing specified is still possible</span>.<br />e.g.<br />I <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">cannot</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"> </span>bring the moon down for you. (It is indeed impossible)<br />I <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">can not</span> attend the meeting tomorrow. (There's still a possibility it can be done)<br /><br />I first got it from <a href="http://alexfiles.com/cannot.shtml" target="_blank">AlexFiles</a>, then I tried searching it, and found the same idea ^^Steven Luckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05335979566112962818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6359541297775081617.post-65698257080141488422009-11-04T19:17:00.000-08:002009-11-26T23:37:33.764-08:00Mandarin Phonetic (國語注音)Don't know where to start when learning Chinese (mandarin)?
