good 'collocation' dictionary for Chinese
Does anyone know of a good collocation dictionary / website with Chinese collocations and the English equivalent? e.g. I found the word ‘douse' in English is 浇 in Chinese. I would like to see what collocations / combinations have 浇 in Chinese. Nciku didn't have many. I used my phone dictionary and found 浇冷水， 借酒浇愁 and 火上浇油， but when I checked with a google search, I also found you can use 浇希望 (which my phone didn't have). So basically a collocation reference with lots of uses of each word and the English equivalent (like multitran.ru for Russian / English)

how do you say "I wish I.." in Chinese?
how do you say "I wish I.." in Chinese? e.g.
"I wish I had more time now"
"I wish you were here now"
Is it different when we use 'would' about others annoying actions? e.g. "I wish you would listen more?"

互相学习 / 在一起学习
I was reading a text in Chinese, and came across
互相学习
The translation was "study together". Before this I thought 'together' was 在一起 and that 互相 was 'each other'. Can 互相 also mean 'together'?

是阀门坏了 = the valve is broken OR it's the valve that's broken
I'm interested in the use of 是 here. What's the difference between
是阀门坏了
and
阀门坏了
is it like the English 'It's ____ that....
e,g, Does 是我做了= It's me who did it?

First notebook entry: Introducing myself
你们好， 我的名字是John, 但是我已经选择一个汉语的名字，就是老虎。 不知道为什么选择那种名字，也许因为我的家乡是非洲。 我做英语老师，也非常喜欢学习别的语，学习过俄语，西班牙语，德语，还正在学习普通话。 我学习别语主要的原因是重复我学生的过程
