Negotiation and Fortune

Intermediate: Negotiation and Fortune

As a professional negotiator with more than twenty years experience on the force, Richard had dealt with hostage cases before and knew that this would be a particularly tough one to crack. And his was an impression confirmed by the grim visages on the faces of the SWAT team. Holed up on the upper floors of the National Bank, the kidnappers had settled into a defensive position that would make storming the building a disastrous exercise in bloodshed, making a negotiated settlement the only practical option.

Every time I try to listen to a dialogue, the recording plays for three or four minutes and then starts over. Have you had users with this problem before? Could it be a problem with my phone? 多谢

We don't have reports of anyone else with this problem, but if anyone else does please let us know. My guess is that this is some problem with the client/browser stopping the download and then restarting it from scratch.

Hi, I'm trying to download the entire Intermediate files (intermediate.tar.gz) on my mac, but it's not allowing me to extract it onto my desktop. Any ideas?

Nevermind! Got it.

So it was 3 am at a cheap hotel in Shanghai. A disagreement. She had my money; I had her shouji.

The dialogue between us was almost exactly like the tail end of this.

Long story short: she got her shouji, I got my money.

Moral is, ya never know when some o dis might be useful.

What is more interesting, perhaps, is that she laid down the money ''ere I supplied her phone. Which, were I a more ruthless, uncaring man, could have developed into an entirely different scenario.

警卫 is consistently translated as `guard' in all the usage example on Ce.line dictionary, and 警官 consistently as simply `constable' or `officer', not `police chief'. Police chief is given as 警察局长。

Any comment？

hi @beaudarc.

警卫 usually implies state employee as opposed to a private security job -- someone working in the public security sector for the state (c.f. https://baike.baidu.com/item/警卫/86643) as opposed to a private sector guard. 警官 is an officer although not necessarily the head of the entire police force. I'm not sure if "police chief" is an official title in English -- the usage here just means someone in the chain of command.

Best,
