As recovering narcoleptics, we know a thing or two about shunning daylight, sleeping in coffins and going straight for the jugular. Sadly, in many parts of the world people continue to harbor prejudices against the undead. And yet blood donations are at an all-time high. It's a crazy world, we know.Join us today as we strike out against this pervasive and insidious form of social discrimination. Bloody Mary has a more literal meaning here than you may be used to, but regardless of your taste in drinks we're sure you'll enjoy learning all the Chinese you'll ever need to know should you find yourself invited to an underground party in the French Concession, and have the opportunity to chat up that cute, pulseless waitress from the local cafe who's always sleeping on the job.

Silver Bullets are for taking down werewolves. You can also use a stick dipped in silver. Sterling won't do.

For vampires you need garlic, a sharpened stake, a mirror, and the relevant holy symbol (depending on origin of vampire). Hopefully otherwise, but one day you may be very glad that you have been reading popupchinese....

@benchannevy - I've just sent you an email to follow up about this. The PDF is online and should definitely be accessible, so if you're having trouble this is something we will look into and get solved.

From the Bette Midler classic "Hocus Pocus", I have learned you can also simulate daylight by using car headlights to disorient vampires. Once disoriented you can make for a quick getaway.
If that doesn't work I hear vampires also become disoriented by hearing Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath my Wings". So always have Bette Midler on you ipod for any random vampire attacks.

I have a question: in the sentence "哦,那没关系,现在都二十一世纪了" I don't understand the use of that 都

@felanden,
It means already. For another example, "都六点了,他怎么还不来?“ (It's already 6 o'clock, how come he's still not arrived). This is another common usage of 都.
