People Mountain People Sea
do you understand my title?? if you are a Chinese you might understand it easily. people mountain people sea means many people. it is a direct translate from Chinese idioms by just translate the wordings only but not the meaning. this is quite fun to play with. but be careful
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!! this might just lower down your English standart. i warned you already!!!!
this morning during English period we don't have any teacher in class. so me, legend, iqbal, and vincent phang was just doing some chit chatting and vincent phang said something about a taiwan entertainment show he watched. he said they give a Chinese idiom to a contestant and that person have to use English to ask his team mate to guess what idiom is that. due to the lacking of English word they know, they just translate the wordings of the idiom. and this create a funny effect. so we tried some to. and we end up
PK with lawrence, zhang guang, frankie, nickleous lu. at the end who wins actualy? to be honest, i don'y know. but who cares, it point is about having fun. hahaha......
heres some fun ones we translate:
car water house dragon - 车水马龙
people small ghost big - 人小鬼大
open door see mountain - 开门见山
sweet say honey words - 甜言蜜语
put anger picture strong - 发愤图强
same heart shoe power - 同心协力
people heart yellow yellow - 人心惶惶
pig friend dog friend - 猪朋狗友
errr........ i cant remember anymore. ish... that my problem, cant remember stuff at all. got short term memory lost all the time. i can even go down from upstairs to downstairs and ask myself what do i want to do liao ha??? hiaz.... old liao.... any way, enough about side tracks, back to the point. do you "have road" (有路) (eng-understand) on what am i talking about up there? haha... that word "got road" came out from jovis when we ask her about the translate idiom. she then told us she have "no road" ah..... hahaa... lol.... funny.
ok hope you guys enjoy that. and i hope by reading this post will lower down your Chinese standart. hahaha.... ok i'll stop here. have a nice day.
take care,
VINCENT.
