    We get it. I got it before you guys started this stupid thread. For the record, I don't think many of us care whether or not Yao said Jealous, envious or I wanted to be the man cause T-Mac got all the credit in that Utah game. Big deal. We got it. Was it necessary to start a thread on this?

    LMAO! I am sick because all these "I am chinese .... " cannot even get a grip of their own language.

    妒忌 is a term that's 100% translated into jealous/jealousy.

    But if a single word "妒" is used in a sentence, then its meaning is up to interpretation within the context of the sentence.

    If someone still think otherwise, then please show me some examples of usages of your claims.

    That's not enitrely true. Some Chinese words may be the same in English, but they posses different meanings. Although, jealous in Chinese (Gi Du) certainly does mean jealous in English. Yao Ming just has respect :) .
