geraldc Posted October 11, 2005 at 11:36 PM Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 at 11:36 PM Thanks Skylee I had thought it might have something to do with frigidity, given the context and the component characters, but I thought it best to check...

roddy Posted October 12, 2005 at 12:54 AM Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 at 12:54 AM 硬件条件 > out of context I would have said this is hardware requirements. In a work context I would imagine it's either - what the person is required to be (ie, male / female, age) rather than what they need to be able to do, OR non-flexible requirements. Haven't watched this episode yet though. Roddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
