Jabber's English Note---065

jabber(jabber)

In Chinese language, we have a famous saying to describe the following phonomena. Some people own a lot of debts and borrow the money from the secod person to re-imbourse the first, then from third to compensate the secod....

In English, there are similar idioms. Surprisingly, it is so simple: I don't want to rob Peter to pay Jerry. If we are doing a project with Sailor and Ji-Ang and some people suggest asking Sailor to join Ji-Ang, I may refuse this way: No, no, we cannot rob Sailor to pay Ji-Ang. What I mean is that Sailor has his own duty and we cannot re-assign him without much consideration.

so simple是啥意思？難道一句話比三個字更simple??不敢貓同！！ -truemimi(咪咪流浪记); 2002-3-4 (#389496@0)

你这个人爱抬杠，简单不是只和数量有关，那三个字都是很常用的字。 -pyramid(金字塔); 2002-3-4 (#389806@0)

mimi的意思是：英文要用一句话，中文只要三个字，还是用中文simple。我不知道mimi指哪三个字，我觉得是个六字俗语，也可是个四字成语。 -diver(盐水冰棍); 2002-3-4 (#389820@0)

啥意思?美看懂 -truemimi(咪咪流浪记); 2002-3-4 {18} (#390443@0)
不許進行人生攻擊@@

我的意思 -diver(盐水冰棍); 2002-3-4 {176} (#390480@0)
我想的是“拆东墙，补西墙”，“拉东补西”。对这个意思的表达，我觉得还是中文简洁。

回帖的目的，仅仅想讨论语言问题。

Jabber的帖子还是很有用的，这种英语谚语是我们应该积累的。

;)謝謝！ -truemimi(咪咪流浪记); 2002-3-4 {176} (#390500@0)
我其實也一直喜歡看她寫的貼字，只是她好巷有好就不寫，讓我生氣！

不同的文化，不一樣的語言，從思維到表達方式，誰又能全釋清楚的。偉大古老的中華民族，在西人眼裏但願永遠都是個謎！
Yoo are absolutely right! -jabber(jabber); 2002-3-11 (#398482@0)

就是就是，还是中文博大，“生亦何欢，死亦喝忧“到了英文恐怕就成了 live death it is a problem了吧 -next(next123); 2002-3-5 (#391041@0)

就喜歡擡槓就喜歡！ -truemimi(咪咪流浪记); 2002-3-4 {219} (#390438@0)
三角債哪個字不常用阿/

反正，我竊以爲。語言就是一種工具。用起來不用那麽頂真就好了。
所以有的時候我圖快，寫了很多錯別字，也懶得改，但是我還是由衷的認爲漢語是最最高級的語言，西西！

我這個人比較瘋，別和一般見識就好樂

抬杠：我竊以爲X 我以爲√ 竊以爲√ :P -bingle(bingle); 2002-3-4 (#390447@0)

對不起，pingle,bingle一直沒搞清楚 -truemimi(咪咪流浪记); 2002-3-4 {31} (#390458@0)
在pingwatermeet看著你倆就犯暈:p

疯一点比傻强多了，好样的。 -pyramid(金字塔); 2002-3-5 (#390981@0)

味！知道你在這裡有名好了吧。瞧你說的~~ -truemimi(咪咪流浪记); 2002-3-6 {23} (#391809@0)
是誇我還是損我呀！！*0*
