·         The word "consummate" doesn't mean "consume". Usually it's not used to describe eating.  è You have a misunderstanding here. “consume” never even came cross my mind. I wasn’t describing eating. A minimum payment would certainly make the whole experience perfect.


·         "Paraphernalia" is usually used on the stuff that belongs to a woman. è Not necessarily. Are you looking at the third definition here? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Paraphernalia 


·         "Food" and "foods" are different and here the overuse of "foods" make the writing unexceptional.  è Very interesting thinking.  How are “food” and “foods” different? Please be specific and feel free to quote from my writing.  Other than “foods”, what would you like to use?

看來paraphernalia也許可更泛用一些,隻是看了眾多例句,少有真把它和belongings等同, -淘金客- 給 淘金客 發送悄悄話 淘金客 的博客首頁 (33 bytes) () 02/07/2013 postreply 19:25:59
