<< review queue entry 52849 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> I will submit separately to change xing4 to xing5 in 記性 (see NC, K, L) Examples: 投资者的通病--永远都长不了记性 = "The eternal problem with investors - they never learn." 下属不长记性，怎么办？ 告诉你不能那样写，（你还是那样走），你怎么就是长不了记性/不长记性呢？ - Larry: You would be surprised how many people are willing to try dangerous things like that. Hopefully, after that epic fail, he learned his lesson. - LH: Learned his lesson？你是说，他撞了车还要去上学？ - Larry: No, not quite. I don't mean lesson as in something a teacher tells you at school. That phrase can also mean something you learn in life after making a mistake. - LH: 我明白了，learn his lesson就是吸取教训的意思。嗯，这个人的确应该长点记性，以后别干这种事儿了。我就不会像他一样，明知道最后结果是个epic fail，大失败，何必还要做呢？ |
