by Jammie via Jammie Wearing Fools
Mayor de Blasio, a self-declared progressive “man of the people,” has
erected a massive new “privacy fence” to keep his constituents from
looking in on Gracie Mansion.
The new fence — constructed just inside an existing red brick wall and a
wrought-iron fence ringing the historic property — was actually dubbed a “
privacy fence” by de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray, sources

Will it be too long? From what I read, the length of skis could be longer
than you height if you skill is advanced and if it is a all-mountain (fat?)

My current skis are 160cm with 70mm waist (also Nordica). I am a advanced

The case design lines up with the many part leaks and schematics that have

发帖数: 10904 | 9 我觉得还是你的英语没通。4 times taller than someone 其实省略了表语。全句是
。。4 times taller than someone is (in height). 可以这么理解：其中 4 times
和 taller than 如果分别去掉句子都需要能成立。4 times someone is , and is
taller than someone is. 4 times 不是用来修饰 taller 的像在中文里一样，而是修
饰 some one is 这个从句的。
so, is 4 times taller than 最好不要翻译成 比 xx 高4 倍，而应该翻译成：
giraffe 比casey 高，有四个 casey 那么高。这个 4 times 和 taller than 没有关
系的，比如你可以说 viraffe is taller than casey 4 times.
对应中文 比 casy 高 3 倍这种说法，英语里面可能需要说 is taller than casy by
3 times of casy's height.
