More Expensive Air China Flight from Shanghai to ShenZhen

Bigger chair. More space for the legs. Cleaner carpet. Bread with BUTTER! Sooooo much better than the cheaper Air China flight from Shenzhen to Shanghai!

西人真率直

咪响到囉！

你要幾闊先？

做死人咩！

從 http://www.bigwhiteguy.com 中看到這一則：

Having just spent three days in your wonderful city I felt I must write to advise that the trip was spoiled by the persistent hawking of goods by Indian and Pakistani men. On each trip along Canton and Nathan roads and all streets in between we were constantly bothered by these men. It really is a shame that our opinion of your city was tainted by such behaviour. I felt discriminated against as they only targeted westerners. Also how rude of them to suggest westerners only come to Hong Kong for cheap copied goods and inexpensive tailoring. Surely the authorities should do something about this, I suspect unlawful, method of trying to sell goods. Anne Thomasson, Bitteswell, Leicestershire, England

其實，在上海亦會有一班外省人，手拿著 flyer 不停的叫「包包，手錶」( x 386 次)，而且會捉住你的手 ( 佢哋對 personal zone 毫無認識，身體接觸不是有惡意的 )。

我問：「上海人都興買假名牌？」

無人知道。但系有咁多呢啲人四圍叫人買，咁即系有呢個 market 啦。如果唔系鬼得閒幫你拉客咩？都搵唔到食。

所以我話阿 Anne 應該話 "It really is a shame that my people has a taste on these commodities.”

你食咗未？

同朋友去食飯，點菜時會問吓人：「你有冇唔食啲咩？」

"Anything you don't eat?" / "What don't you eat?"

因為西人很關注 食物敏感，所以禮儀上不可以準備一些賓客有敏感的材料或食物。比較普遍嘅有：海鮮、花生、蛋、MSG ( 味精，全名少人叫：mono-sodium glutamate )、奶 ( 其實系入面嘅乳糖 lactose) ...... 所以你會發以 United Airline 系唔會派花生做小食，而系派蝴蝶餅 pretzel。而 MSG 可以响海草、蕃茄同冬孤搵到，所以以前啲西人成日話敏感中餐。

反過來問就系 "What do you eat?" -- 你食啲咩？

就好似我考你，你知唔知蜻蜓食咩？Do you know what do dragonflies eat? 系問緊 general fact。但系如果要問人食咗セ：

"What have you eaten?" / "What did you have for lunch?" / "What did you have yesterday dinner?"

留意時式 tense：
-  have ... eaten 現在完成式 present perfect 嚟表示剛剛之意。有啲似中文嘅「咗」字咁。
-  did ... have ... ? 簡單過去式 simple past。因為動作動詞 action verb 作疑問句時必須加 do 呢個輔助動詞 helping verb。咁 tense 呢？講緊嘅動作係過去嘅，所以 do 要轉做 did。咁 did 咗就唔駛 had 啦！

咪問人「食咗乜」變成「食咩你」，好似動物片咁。

Stupid = Palin

Stupid 中文有：低 B、低能、白痴、short short 哋、無腦、個腦生响屎怱 ( 注意：必須系屎怱先夠應；pat pat、屁股、羅友、囉 pat 都唔得 ) ......

英文亦多不星數。介紹啲比較普通：
dim-witted, dumb^ (n/adj), dumbbell, dummy* (n), fool (n), foolish (adj), idiot (n), moron (n) 似唔似廣東話「磨碌」？, pinhead (n), stupid (adj), thick-headed (adj)

^ 小心串錯 dump = 垃圾* 可以系「假人」之意。如測試車嘅安全性時會用 dummy。English grammar 中 'there','it' 亦系 dummy subject。即佢哋唔系真正嘅主詞，只系代為主詞。

比較核突同粗啲：
dickhead (n), shithead (n), jackass (n), retard (n), retarded (adj) = 弱智

除咗蠢之外 ...：
jerk 帶有賤之意 e.g. He thinks every girl wanna sleep with him. He's such a jerk!dork 有啲呆感，所以有時都帶啲可愛。不過蠢始終唔系咩好嘢。( 有時與 nerd [ 書虫 ] 同 geek [ 對科學或 techno stuff 好叻，但系唔識與人相處 ] 交替 ) 書：The Wimpy Kid 中就有一幕啲女同學傳紙仔話男主角 Greg 系 dork ( 傻仔 )
sucker 容易被人呃 e.g. John is a sucker. He thinks Miranda loves him. She loves his money.bimbo 主要系講好身材嘅女人，但無腦
dumb blonde 靚女無腦

Well, I have enough of 'diapiology' for the day.「diaper」尿片，-ology = study of ...； therefore diapiology = study of diapers 即系亞媽成日講嘅「學屎片」。請勿亂用，系我發明嘅，你可能會侵犯版權 ...... 你用 Palinism 好啦！ Palin = 佩林，-ism = 主義

Money Talks 有錢使得鬼推磨

好貴咪 expensive 囉。平咪 cheap 囉。... 系咁咋？

响我細個時，啲鬼婆老師成日都 dear dear。貴系 dear，敝加火又 oh, dear。今時今日都唔多人咁講。

依家電油貴，真攞命。

Cost an arm and leg 都唔知系嚟自黑社會定軍事上。總知一隻手或腳嘅代價，即好鬼貴囉！

一般用 costly 就無咁作狀啦！重有 pricey / high-priced 都可以。It's a rip-off. 標價過高之意。

Cheap 有賤之意，屬貶詞，用時要小心。好似坐飛機咁，坐 ecocomy 而唔系坐 cheap 位。(adj. economical) It's a steal. 抵到爛！不過一般人又點會嫌平？所以就用合理代替 reaonable。

A: I'm broke.
B: Did you ask C to help? She's well-off.
A: And a cheapskate!
B: Yeh, you're right.
A: Well, can you spare me some change?
B: Me? I'm no better than you. I'm living from hand to mouth. I'll talk to you later. Gotta earn some bread.

A: 我窮到燶。
B: 有無揾 C？佢好有錢。
A: 佢亦係孤寒鬼呢！
B: 咁又係。
A: 喂，有冇散紙借住先？
B: 我？我都泥菩薩。手停口停。遲啲再講啦！要塭食喇！
