Acknowledgment: There appears to be a lowest common denominator in everyone's response that agrees with Hai Yang's entry -- namely, 等Ａ才Ｂ. Unfortunately, everyone side-stepped the presence of 以後. This was disappointing. I must state that I am not enthusiastic about the application of transitive grammar to any language. I do agree, however, that self-expression has a tendency to behave like a rising bubble in water -- increasing complexity with increasing proximity to the surface of final expression. Complexity also increases the longer one plays on the surface. This is what makes both writing and speaking so much fun, once you finally get moving! In the end, I chose PK's entry because it was at least as instructive as everyone else's, and he incorporated elements of a previous entry about the proper use of 先! No, PK, 獅子山 is not a mountain; it is a hill that bears the name of a mountain, as is true for every other Hong Kong geographical point bearing the name 山. Surely, Hong Kong tunnel diggers must have once thought 獅子 to be a mountain, but anyone who has climbed it knows differently....

My very best from the land of no mountains surrounded by sea on many sides."
