Why are you so troublesome! Let's make a decision as soon as possible. \t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\tExplanation of difficult points <\/strong><\/p>\n

\t<\/p>\n

1. \u53eb \t<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this case "\u53eb" (jiào) means "tell \/ask (somebody to do something)", which is different to when it was used in "\u6211\u53eb\u5927\u5ddd" (w\u01d2 jiào dà chu\u0101n).<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\t<\/p>\n

2. \u80e1\u66fc\u4ed6\u4eec \t<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

"\u80e1\u66fc\u4ed6\u4eec" (hú màn t\u0101 men) has a meaning similar to the casual "Hu Man and those guys\/other people…"<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\t<\/p>\n

3. ……\u5149\u4e86 \t<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

"(verb)……\u5149\u4e86" (gu\u0101ng le) means that the verb has caused there to be emptiness\/no more\/finished. "\u7968\u5356\u5149\u4e86" (piào mài gu\u0101ng le) means that "all of the tickets have been sold".<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\t<\/p>\n

4. \u6709\u610f\u601d \t<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The phrase "\u6709\u610f\u601d" (y\u01d2u yì si) means "interesting", which is different from "\u610f\u601d" (yì si, meaning) and "\u4e0d\u597d\u610f\u601d" (bù h\u01ceo yì si, I'm sorry\/to be embarrassed).<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\t<\/p>\n

5. \u9ebb\u70e6 \t<\/div>\n

<\/strong>"<\/p>\n

\u9ebb\u70e6" (má fan) is used differently than it was in Lesson 21. In this context "\u771f\u9ebb\u70e6" (zh\u0113n má fan) it is an adjective that means "troublesome\/annoying" but in "\u9ebb\u70e6\u60a8" (má fan nín) it is a verb that means "to bother".<\/div><\/p>\n
