Chinese study

$26 is about one month engineer's wages in china. Not sure why anyone would want to learn chinese.

Not true. AFAIK engineers in China are paid at least US$200.

They make $200 now! I suppose the microwave at walmart is going to soon sell for $36 instead of $35.50, will inflation ever stop.

ridiculous! Chinese junior-level embedded engineers normally get ~1000USD a month payment. senior level guys get 2000USD a month (17,000 Chinese dollars).

I had a company in China. I knew how much I paid for Chinese Embedded engineers.

Comparing to the daily consumes in China and out of China, (1 USD merchandise in USA is also about 1 Chinese dollar in China), I really don't know what you are talking about. Go ask Chinese engineers (must be $26 is about one month engineer's wages in china.

Not so funny and doesn't make any sense, right? If they are $26 a month, you should learn Chinese harder, then you can benefit much more from it. I can FREE teach you a Chinese saying: Rats have only one-inch sight.

And tell you another truth: the really China is not the China in American TV news, otherwise, I can't believe how the one billion people live. Go ask the Chinese [must be $26 is about one month engineer's wages in china.

Just slightly off topic, but does anyone know of a good technical englishchinese dictionary for like engineering, etc.?

I want to load up on my technical vocab.

I believe the "Kingsoft powerword" is the best one so far. It has built tens of dictionaries inside. And it was only 28 Chinese dollars (3.5 USD) 2 years ago. But you may meet the problem from Dear microsoft. Maybe you could input Chinese in this software, if you are using English Windows. At least I met this problem. You can ask a friend in China to buy and mail it to you. Relax, 28 dollars are not their a month wage. I don't think even a very ordinary friend will ask you this money. But shippng fee may be a little high (2 books w/ 12USD value cost me 70 USD shipping fee from China to USA). Or, you can check out these three free online dictionaries:

Hope this helps you.

Thanks for the info. .

Thanks xg, for those links, they will really come in handy for my translation assignment. But I was wondering whether if you knew of a good dictionary, you know, a real one and not just an online one.

You want a BOOK dictionary? Kingsoft powerword is software including about 100 dictionaries. I believe "=E8=8B=B1=E6=B1=89=E7=A7=91=E5=AD=A6=E6=8A=80=E6=9C=AF=E5=A4=A7= =E8=AF=8D=E5=85=B8" is the most traditional and official one. sorry to put Chinese here. I googled out this link (I amNOT suggesting you buy from here):
