So if people say " Your English is good" ; "Your service is good" ; " it is good" , you don't need to feel to be flattered. It is very general in western countries.

chronological results (results) of a systematic study != chronologically study (method),
I advised you to loan the book from library in another thread. It is the book about poems and poets.

thank you for pointing out the difference. but i would like to mind you that you misquoted my words. the following is a reprint of my original words:[/COLOR]

[INDENT]引用:
Stephen Owen's "The Poetry of the Early T'ang (1977)"chronologically, systematically studied the whole poetry of the Early Tang. He solved the following problems:  

>> it would be easier for the readers to follow if the grammatical subjects can be kept consistent going from the first to the second sentences.
>> (a tentative revision) In his book "The Poetry of the Early T'ang (1977)", author Stephen Owen presented chronologically results of a systematic study of the whole poetry over the Early Tang time period, and offered satisfactory answers to the following outstanding questions:[/COLOR] [/INDENT]  

please note that, here, i printed "author Stephen Owen presented chronologically results of a systematic study of the whole poetry over the Early Tang time period". according to the merriam webster, chronological refers to an order of time. the dictionary gives two examples "chronological tables" and "chronological age". the first is an arrangement in order of time and the second is a classification in units of time.

back to your reading report, where you have said "Owen's (book) chronologically, systematically studied..." i am not sure if a book can really study but let's put this issue aside for now. you have used two adjectives in parallel to modify "study". i assume you do mean it that chronologically and systematically can be applied separately to the verb study. that is, "chronologically studied" and "systematically studied" each would make good sense.

what does "chronologically studied (the whole poetry of the Early Tang)" mean?  can i interpret it as an approach that classifies the subjects according to time units, and follows the lead of temporal relations between the subjects in different time units?

it is difficult to know how exactly the author approached to his subjects in the study, whether it was temporal or spatial, or the author might well have chosen a more suitable approach: a systematic study with results presented chronologically. therefore, in case the book does want to speak for itself, i have found here an alternative version for it: (Owen's book) presented a systematic study of the whole poetry of the Early Tang in a chronological manner.[/COLOR]

chronological: relating to or dealing with chronology : arranged in order of time <chronological tables> : reckoned in units of time <chronological age>

In the introduction of my thesis, I listed my research method. The author must state it in his research paper.[/COLOR]

Introduction
1.Introductory
Since 1949, China has made impressive achievements in many fields of science and technology.   ......
In order to analyze China』s science and technology policy, in particular, the implementation of technology transfer, the thesis consists of six chapters. The introduction states the rationales and the objectives of the research, which involve the research method and resources used in this thesis. The first chapter addresses historical development of science and technology policy. In this part, the segment before 1984 will be periodized with an explanation of technology policy in each of the periods. It briefly introduces Pre-1949 Patterns, Soviet Influence in the 1950』s, "Reds" Versus "Experts" in the 1950s and 1960s, the Cultural Revolution 1966-1976, and Rehabilitation and Rethinking, 1977-84. The second chapter focuses on Science and Technology in the 1980』s and 1990』s, including the Supply of Skilled Manpower, Research Institutes, National Organization and Administration, Integration of Administrative Systems, and International Ties. The third chapter evaluates the Shortcomings of the Science and Technology System Before the Reforms, The  「863」 Project, Readjustment Policy in the 1990』s, and Innovation and Customization of Science and Technology in the late 1990』s and 2000. The fourth chapter places emphasis on the Policy, Modes and Linking with Economics of Technology Transfer. The fifth chapter will study a case of technology transfer. In the last Chapter I will present my own views and a comprehensive conclusion.
            
2. Research Method and Resources

In order to fulfill the requirements for this thesis, I shall combine historical phase review method with case study [/COLOR] to state the policy of China』s science and technology and the implementation of technology transfer. Resources are from books, journals, newspapers, government』s documents, web sites, related firm documents, agreements, faxes, e-mails and personal files.

It is important to note one are of technology transfer that is excluded from this study; China』s investment in enterprises in foreign countries aimed at technology acquisition and know how, such as the copper industry in Chile. Data are simply to be fragmented at this time. I shall also leave non-addressed the issue of whether or not China has acquired technology via the process of reverse engineering.

thank you for the clarification that this report, your examination of the author's viewpoints, is a subjective review [/COLOR] which is not fully supported by sound arguments or solid evidence or both.

I will argue here,
besides the development of the literary and poets, politics, economy,
military, and other Asian culture import might have produced some influences on the
changes of the poetry of Early Tang to High Tang.


If you read my argument, you will find that I argue "politics, economy,
military, and other Asian culture import" which all these contents were not included in this book and in author's research. The author only studied "the development of the literary (poems) and poets". My summary was written in a way without bias.[/COLOR]

I am quite busy. Let me tell you some quick facts. Not every university has library school in North America. (only 50 universities in USA+Canada, if yougo to http://www.ala.org/ala/accreditation/lisdirb/Alphaaccred.htm American Library Association, you will find a full list of all these 50 famous universities with accredited programs). A full-professor like at McGill (only two full-professors in McGill ---no. 1 university in canada, in university it is too difficult for a person to get this high-level position, most people finally can be promoted to associate professor) usually is the chair of some national committee or department (in this field, no native Chinese (can get) has got such high level position), Do you think he has time wasting on this garbage board?

I don』t want to discourage you. Actually I already detected your bottom line of your language proficiency since you were so excited as just finishing masturbation to eager to post Li Yang』s garbage materials as you have found a precious thing.

Why did you explain in Chinese while you disagreed with my Chinese explanation?
The content is difficult for people who have any basic knowledge of English?[/SIZE]


After I criticized his speech, then you say:[/SIZE]

comments on 第十八拿手好戲：瘋狂演講專家真正超越自我.
below, i quoted each paragraph i commented on and put my comments behind a double arrow ">>". i greyed out my tentative versions of the same paragraphs of the speech. i used them just as "a bait" [/COLOR] for better versions. your versions and comments are very welcome.

Why? Do you think you have any right to come here to play other people as "a bait"?  Do you think other people are as blinded as you that they would like to be played by you this unknown clown?
If I had not explained to you 「summary, abstract, review」 in Chinese, would you have understood the differences?
Don』t be silly, I told you. I left some space for your face but you lost the last chance[/COLOR]. It was not my fault.[/SIZE]

Conclusion:[/COLOR][/SIZE]

The monkey could be the king if there is no tiger in the mountain. To be your king, nobody really wants this position.
山中無老虎,猴子稱霸王.做個好"王"八!沒人稀罕要取代你!
---- I leave now. So you can attack me as possible as you can.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

you didn't respond to my request. you started your statement of disgrace over again. so i address the unpleasant feeling you have had.

"you can't teach an old dog new tricks." i have tried to raise the level of discussion in this thread by asking you questions about your paper. but look at what you have put in your answers! it's either trivial grammar nitpicking at an entrance ESL level or shameless self-promotional talks. what else can you do? you cry for pain!

you behaved like a spoiled brat. you cried for pain from the wounds you got in a verbal fight. you are so coward that when being challenged you hid away and shouted abuse from distance. this is not a debate, or a fight. i suspect that this is still a growing-up and i may have mistakenly assumed his experience due to a false impression caused by his constant self-promotion. i have tried to tell you the rules of engagement in the cyberspace that you can't assume a superior position and you won't be fully shielded by your anonymity. you have to use your verbal skills to win for even a totally harmless mud slinging. but you ignored my words and continued to cry for arrogance and disgrace. why did you do that?

montrealer, i can tell you that you are not a tiger, at least your are not now. if you do want to be a tiger, you should learn the way of a tiger, and you shouldn't cry for it. i know you hate to be a monkey. so please stop imitating what you saw and used to in your job. be yourself and learn to be an ordinary member in the virtual reality of the internet, which you may think of as an animal kingdom in disguise that observes the same jungle rules you should know.

i also want to tell you that here on this board we have people with significant achievements in their professions or academic studies, which none of them ever talked about. only you showed up as an exception. over and again, you used the opportunities you can find to brag yourself shamelessly. i wonder why you do this. now you have told me that you are an assistant librarian third year on your tenure track. you still have a long way to go. come back when you have got your tenure. good luck.

unlike what you have tried to make believe, i am not here for teaching others lessons (which is what you are doing to us as an untenured teaching faculty). rather, i am here to provide services to my folks, using a part of my spare time, so that i can feel being still connected to where i came from. i am here to give stimulations to those who have excused themselves and quit from working hard to improve their english. and your purpose being here is now quite clear to me-- as you did over and again in the past, this time, you only have repeated it, and as before, you state it, with your usual timidity, in the name of another person, adelyn. montrealer, if you do want to be a bold man, you must state your desire with your own name.

I give you final advice using my lunch time. I was not going to comment your replies. It was too weak, no fact, no data, and no evidence. It is harmless for me. All words were full of your individual subjective mood. I assumed you might have had some psychological problems.

What I really wanted to say is I treated you as a net friend. I replied your questions in a very casual form (maybe it looks 「arrogance」 to you) since at the same time I was doing my regular work (I have full-time job). I didn』t see any 「
shameless arrogance」 from my answers to your questions. I could have simply politely answered like 「your rewriting was very very good」 if you really wanted to get this kind of pretended flatters in Internet. But it was no really good for you. I gave my reasons and analysis. I even listed my references and bibliographies for you.

If you see 「shameless arrogance」 in network, that』s your problem. I simply ignore it if I think somebody offends me. I don』t continue this 「talking」. That』s my way. Hope you don』t play a solo role on this board.

Don't take two sets of different standards applying for you and other people. As chairman Mao said " You treat others with Marxism but yourself with freedomlism"  or an old saying " Only allow officials burning houses but forbid common people firing lamp".

I have ever and never forced other people to accept my values. And vice versa, I have ever and never accept other people's values. I have my own values. This is a democratic diverse world, especially in this cyber world. I don't care other people how to criticize me in this virtual word since I have never forced other people to accept my values. I just post and dicussed my values. This is a big difference! If you want to get respect, first respect other people even other people have some flaw. That's why I have successfully survived in diverse Canadian environment although I came from a rules-bounded dictatorship system. I believe that the difference between you and me is from the differences of values and backgrounds.

montrealer, here is my response to your posting on floor #33 where, again, you used vulgar words (which i made italic to illustrate) to express your bitter feeling about me.

(only 50 universities in USA+Canada, if yougo to http://www.ala.org/ala/accreditation/lisdirb/Alphaaccred.htm American Library Association, you will find a full list of all these 50 famous universities with accredited programs). A full-professor like at McGill (only two full-professors in McGill ---no. 1 university in canada, in university it is too difficult for a person to get this high-level position, most people finally can be promoted to associate professor) usually is the chair of some national committee or department (in this field, no native Chinese (can get) has got such high level position), Do you think he has time wasting on this garbage board? If he did come here, then he might have gone insane![/COLOR] I will be leaving very soon because I already found boring here. Don't fool yourself and your readers![/SIZE]

can you stop bragging? yes. this professor may be an academic celebrity. but you are not. you are an untenured, unwashed, lower rank librarian in an unknown institute. come back to boast when you have obtained your tenure, good luck.[/COLOR]

I don』t want to discourage you. Actually I already detected your bottom line of your language proficiency since you were so excited as just finishing [I]masturbation[/I] to eager to post Li Yang』s garbage materials as you have found a precious thing.

Why did you explain in Chinese while you disagreed with my Chinese explanation?
The content is difficult for people who have any basic knowledge of English?[/SIZE]

i won't explain to you where this posting of Li Yang's lecture notes came from. you can find who posted it. my stated opinion is that Li's 18 lecture notes are mostly good with only one chapter deficient. and Li said he was there to exemplify an observation that chinese are usually not good public speakers. he has the intelligence to know where he can be weak. do you have the same intelligence?

why don't you extend you comments to the other 17 chapters of Li's lecture notes, if you think you are so good? [/COLOR]

After I criticized his speech, then you say:[/SIZE]

comments on 第十八拿手好戲：瘋狂演講專家真正超越自我.
below, i quoted each paragraph i commented on and put my comments behind a double arrow ">>". i greyed out my tentative versions of the same paragraphs of the speech. i used them just as "a bait" [/COLOR] for better versions. your versions and comments are very welcome.

Why? Do you think you have any right to come here to play other people as "a bait"?  Do you think other people are as blinded as you that they would like to be played by you this unknown [I]clown[/I]?
If I had not explained to you 「summary, abstract, review」 in Chinese, would you have understood the differences?
Don』t be silly, I told you. I left some space for your face but you lost the last chance[/COLOR]. It was not my fault.[/SIZE]

Conclusion:[/COLOR][/SIZE]

The monkey could be the king if there is no tiger in the mountain. To be your king, nobody really wants this position.
山中無老虎,猴子稱霸王.做個好"王"八!沒人稀罕要取代你!

you are overly sensitive to think that i have treated you as "a bait". no, i always think you are as normal and can think as intelligently as any anonymous person on the internet. you have used this word "clown". it makes me smile. montrealer, the mirror is on the wall. just look into it!

montrealer, if you do want to pretend to be a lexicologist to explain on the internet what the differences are between "summary, abstract and review", why don't you first explain why you have chosen your stupid title of this thread?

what is the difference between a "概要" of a book and "a review of the main viewpoints" of a book? is this really an abstract as you have told us? will any journal editor accept your reading report as an abstract?

montrealer, i find you are as much shameless and unscrupulous when you speak chinese as when you speak english. now, i hear you crying for pain. is it because you hate me too much?

---------you have not come back to your normal status just because you have been found you are so unknown in the field which you thought you were an expert!

Be wise, you haven't reached my student report level written 6 years ago. SB! why I wanted to hate you. Since no love, how can I have hate?[/SIZE] [:441:]

"a person who visits this board often is a full professor teaching library and information science. is this enough for you or you want to hear more? "

---------Prove you are a liar! [/SIZE]

Just go to post your stuff. Don't shout here like a mad dog!![/SIZE]

why don't you extend you comments to the other 17 chapters of Li's lecture notes, if you think you are so good?
--------- Every year I selected thousands of books from all over the world. His SHIT has no chance to be chosen by me. SB, my report was included in my collections published in Canada and this book was collected by many libraries. You can get the catalog in AMICUS.[/SIZE]
