I’ve enjoyed this gem a lot for the fun in it. It’s alright that somebody’s face can be shot just like that, but never in my three decades as an English teacher have I heard that it is done with a foot washing machine. It’s not that ‘foot’ is a strange adjective there, and that it could perhaps be improved by inserting a hyphen. Or by perhaps inventing the foot-washer to mean whatever the ingenious Chinese have invented. But I hope the shots were taken with a camera and the photos were “to be used to advertise” the machine. Is that correct?
The other issue is that some were intended to be indoor shots, some outdoor ones. Using adjectives. But in the actual sentence, the photographer only wanted to take a few shots indoors and a few outdoors. These are adverbs. Sorry, there’s a difference, unlike in the Chinese language, or in Dutch, where adverbs have identical forms to the corresponding adjectives.
At the end of my response, let me guess that you hope to become famous some time later, i.e. in the end, not at the end of this article.
Anyway, thanks for this posting too. I wish I could speak Chinese as well as you can, in the end.
