IMHO it's not necessary or even not a good idea to translate English to Chinese. It does not help our English learning.

3. Translating English into Chinese as well as translating Chinese into English can prevent the degeneracy of our native language Chinese.

If one looks up the phrase in a dictionary, then he /she learns it and uses it later, why not?

Is PER a rare word？ -----＞＞＞

It's a commonly used word. However, you didn't seem to be able to grasp its meaning after googling for God knows how many times. Using google is not a shame. Strutting it is.

Now that you picked my nose, it's my turn to pick yours. LOL. "Strutting it is". The word "it" is not needed here.

Yes, it is a common word. And you said you use it many times in every single day, but to my and your regret, you failed to understand its useage when it comes before a signature!
