Better try learning how to express things in Chinese clearly and concisely (not necessarily on a native level), after you mastered the style, you, probably, won't need adding English comments at all :-) <--- I would have to find the post with the original comment later, but that is totaly not what I'm saying. In a nutshell, a lot of the things that people say in comments, can be eliminated by making the code more readable. This includes structuring the code so it's easier to follow and properly naming variables and functions. It sounds more difficult than it really is, after a while it becomes second nature.
