"Yang Ming, what are you thinking about? You opened your mouth like a crocodile!" Chen Mengyan looked at Yang Ming who put his chin on the desk. It looked a bit funny.
Salivating? Did I? Yang Ming looked up. He was experimenting with his special ability during class so his brain had overheated. He was planning to rest between classes but then a beautiful lady looked at him so how could he not be bothered by it? Yang Ming laughed and said, "Yes, I wanted to eat you alive!"
Chinese is really broad and profound. Sometimes in a sentence, even one word could have different meanings. It is only in Chinese that you can find such a freaking difficult challenge.
Yang Ming's current sentence, "I wanted to eat you alive" had these different meanings:
I'm hungry, I want to swallow you into my stomach. This was the original meaning. This situation usually happened between two different level animals. For example, a tiger spoke to a goat, "I want to eat you alive."
