男人通过吹嘘来表达爱，女人则通过倾听来表达爱，而一旦女人的智力长进到某一程度，她就几乎难以找到一个丈夫，因为她倾听的时候，内心必然有嘲讽的声音响动。 ---- 蒙肯（美国专栏作家）

Sorry, can't find the original quote. Here's my translation from the Chinese. Am sure it is not the same nor that elegant.

Through bragging, man expresses his love. Women -- only through after careful listening. When her intelligence reaches a certain level, it will be difficult to land herself a husband; for as she listens, a sneering sound is heard within her.

你看，他解释还解释错。

想想看这种区别就像是中国人听到”四张机”和“四只鸡”和“二头肌”，一样，马上可以区别出词义的。中国人脑子里绝对不会有这么一个four what ji, and ji=what这个转换过程的。同样定冠词在英语中的地位也是这样的。

These are obviously different. I can't imagine a native English speaker constantly confusing with these expressions and 'correct' learners when the learners are correct while he is not.

Note: Man and a man are different. Man without the article means human kind in general; a man with the article means a gentleman. See definitions one and four here for details. http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/man_1
