Have a bar of it 没有停下来， 未被某事而阻止

Parks in the nearest lay-by  路侧停车处， 紧急停车处 ...

lay-by 也有分期付款的意思吧，不清楚是先拿货物还是付清后才交货？

This joke is about the huge difference between Chinese and western dating culture.

A Chinese boy ...

很有代表意义的笑话. 我更倾向于西方女孩的观点.
不过笑话毕竟是笑话,真正相爱的人不会因为这样的事情而分开,他做错了,可以沟通.

以后问别人多大: How young are you?

I guess that's the smart way to go at it!

不过似乎只有对很小的人, 问年龄才不唐突失礼.

10几岁以下的人吧.

是吗?

除非比较熟悉的人.

@yping88  和 @KYLIE2008   在教育子女上都很有心得, 是我学习的榜样.

我好像还是个糊涂妈妈.

是不是因为我的名字里只有7, 没有8?  

我开始动心狗狗的事了,孩子总是要求.

宠物能弥补心里的缺吗, yping 有什么想分享的没有?

你挺文明的，我不会说粗话，但不排斥。欢迎你分享这方面的信息，既学习又防备一下。

你工作真辛苦。

When it comes to fashion, I always listen to my husband.
He's got an excellent sense of how to dress me up.

I believe the best taste is from those who really love you as they really wish you most beautiful every day.

I hate being looking older than my age. So does Zoe.

The flip side of it  事情的另一面

Seafood fresh from boat 刚卸下船的海产品

see you on the flip side,我看词典说是明天见,下回见的意思.
这个flip我真听到的不多.

FOB, 哈哈,不是离岸价么

这个green,也有表示环保的意思.
如果说I'm green(我同事说过), 是说我注意环保,不是我是新手的意思吧?

I'm totally lost....are all these slangs?
都不明白有什么特定的含义，除了最后一个，没有去google
Once in a blue moon

I'm a kissing frog

He is a Chili bush

A walk in the park: 有别的意思吗?

My mood hits the record low : 就这个看起来不tricky

Upclose and personal 搜索了一下，是一部电影《因为你爱过我》

MICHELLE07

for every single individual 真正的人性化
病人的需求是最好的标准，这个理念和方法必将make a significant difference

why patient is fighting against the ventilating model？
是本能的抗拒吗? 呼吸困难的人会拒绝帮助？

看了664楼似乎明白了，有似乎更糊涂了。

第一句不懂：
Now, please think about whether or not the anxiety patients show when they develop trouble breathing is due to hypoxemia (低氧血症)?
Well, no matter how tempting the YES answer seems, please be aware that it's not.
就是说， 答案是NO, 病人呼吸困难时表现出来的焦躁不是因为低氧血症，不是吗？后面不是说因为缺氧会失控，也能解释663楼，但，为什么说：焦躁不是因为低氧血症？

不好意思，有点小白痴的感觉。。。
