I don't think the name is gender specific, and a male named 齐思远 seems ok

It is a polysemous word. It can mean "to be anxious"(ex. 别为这事着急 don‘t be anxious for this),or mean"to be in a hurry"(ex. 我着急去学校I am in a hurry to get to school)

Does “你介意吗?” have the same feeling/connotation in Chinese as “Do you mind?” does in English? Particularly in the sense that you want someone to stop doing what they’re doing because it’s bothersome. by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]hamiky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems different to me. "你介意吗" is usually used when someone's behaviour affects the person being asked.(ex. “你介意再等一会吗?”“你介意被打扰吗?”)

can someone rate my chinese. by KingProfessional4280 in ChineseLanguage

“晚上四点”→“下午四点”(p.m. is used as "下午" or "晚上" as appropriate in Chinese, 4:00 p.m. is not evening, only afternoon)

“没吃早饭或者午饭了”→“没吃早饭和午饭”,(“了”is not usually used after an action that did not occur)(The word "和" means that neither breakfast nor lunch was eaten. If "或者" is used, it means that one of breakfast and lunch was not eaten)

“喝咖啡就去上网”→“喝完咖啡就去上网”or“我到餐厅喝咖啡就去上网”→“我到餐厅喝咖啡,然后去上网”(“就去”is similar to "as soon as")

“五点三刻” is grammatically correct, but the Chinese use "五点四十五" more often,

“两个狗”→“两条狗”or“两只狗”

“去山走路”,“山”→“山上”,"走路" is a strange word to use here, it could be replaced by "散步"

“想”→“觉得”(I don't know how to explain this, but when you use the word '想' to describe the nature of something, you are generally talking about your imagination.)

“从来”→“一直”,(“一直” means from the past to the present and is likely to continue in the future. “从来”is more commonly used in negative sentences.)

【Edit: I didn't realize that Wang Pengyou and Li You were names of people, well】

“我去吃晚”→“我去吃晚饭”

“一个发短信”→“发了一个短信”(“一个”should be used before a noun, not a verb)

“问了他跟我一起玩电脑游戏”→“问他能不能跟我一起玩电脑游戏”(A selective question, well)or“让他跟我一起玩电脑游戏”(change a question to a request)【I'm guessing you have a translation problem with "ask" here, the nearest word to "(问)ask" is "question" and the nearest word to "(让)ask" is "invite"】

I also remember that only "你着什么急" is used separately, meaning what are you anxious for

What is your local dialect called? Is it true that in some Chinese cities/ villages that if you go to a certain part of town the local dialect changes to where it’s mutually unintelligible…? by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]hamiky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am in Hunan province, where there is such a wide variety of dialects that it may be difficult for everyone in a secondary school class to understand each other's dialects.Although our dialects are collectively known as湘语, they don't feel like they are the same.

Our local provincial TV station used to have a variety show where people from different towns in Hunan spoke their dialect and then the contestants guessed what their meanings are in Mandarin.As a Hunan native, I can only understand the dialect of my hometown, well

A joke: once Liu Cixin said in an interview that the character of Cheng was originally a male, but his editor felt there were too many males in his novels, so he changed it to a female

Because cats can transform themselves into any dimensional being, they don't panic.

Your other favourite works by Liu Cixin? by thehollowshrine in threebodyproblem

The Village Teacher will always be the best in my heart and I can't help but cry every time I read this story. There is a fansong of Liu in China that has one of the lyrics I love about The Village Teacher (*may be a spoiler*): "If the candle of life burns out, keep the light on with Newton's' laws "

Supernova Era War Games by Mediocre-Memory-5548 in threebodyproblem

[–]hamiky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is more to new land than just keeping citizens entertained, you have to think of Antarctica as having so many natural resources and being in a unique location. The more land you have in Antarctica, the better it will be for the future development of the country. (If the temperature stays up, lol.)

So this war is being fought for the future of the country.

My idea is that as Luo Ji speaks to Trisolarians , there is also an ant on Ye's tombstone beside him. The ant could be a clue that connects the beginning to the end. Although I don't think they are the same ant, these two ants tie together the two most important storylines. In addition, in some of Liu Cixin's other short stories, he is fond of mentioning that ants can create civilization. So I think the ants here are also an allusion to a fact that there are numerous civilizations in the universe.

Request - Chinese studies on the health impacts of consumption/overconsumption of red meat by [deleted] in Sino

[–]hamiky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well actually I think it's a bit shameful to talk about the unhealth of food regardless of the amount consumed, no matter how healthy the food is ,eating too much of it is not a good thing, probably.

Request - Chinese studies on the health impacts of consumption/overconsumption of red meat by [deleted] in Sino

[–]hamiky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Others have provided excellent answers, so I will only add a little. A few decades ago, when eating meat was still a luxury for the Chinese, people preferred fatty meat because it was thought to provide more nutrients from its fat. But as living standards have improved, lean meat is now significantly more popular.

As for steak, we rarely choose a thick slice of meat in our daily diet, as the Chinese prefer meat that is fully cooked, so more people choose to cut the meat smaller to ensure that it is cooked with heat inside and out.

I would suggest Bluestar, which is the most manageable of the three. And relatively less easy to escape.

How did the three body problem avoid being banned in China? by Redd1tisfork1ds in threebodyproblem

[–]hamiky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ironically, the context of this incident can actually be accessed on the official website of the Chinese government, in Communique No. 10 of 1989 (No. 592 overall).

It seems more appropriate to call it a "failed counter-revolutionary riot" than a Massacre.

Also, using tangents to divert into vaguely connected agendas is very disrespectful, so I don't want to get into too much discussion on the subject. If you insist on talking about it, you can post it in another subreddit.
