What do you think of my edit? Do you think it removes the ambiguity that was in the original? :) |

What exactly is it about Geocities sites that China feels the need to block it? Is it censorship because of who creates Geocities sites (they're free, aren't they?)or do they have a thing about the company? I was aware that the government could come in an search anything physically (this was a common occurance for my cousins) but how do they go about blocking certain websites from your computer? Please enlighten this sadly uncultured American. Thanks! |

| Hello everybody, Something I find rather difficult, is to find the English equivalent to a foreign idiom or expression. Would anybody have an idea, where to find online resources for English/French expressions equivalence? For example, I am now fighting with: - Un sourire craquant - Un nez en trompette. The first means, if you're in front of this smile there is nothing you can do but melt, the second depicts the shape of someone's nose... But I often have similar problems to write in English such expressions that I use without even thinking in French. Thank you if you can help ! :) |
