講得,唔講得!

學外語,課堂老師講嘅要學! 但有D野呢...老師都未必會教GOR BOR! 唔知道個陣就無事,知道左我以後都唔會講

!以下就係一D例子:

LAPUTA CASTLE IN THE SKY

相信大家識得呢部宮崎駿嘅經典動畫.有時傾開計提起呢部動畫就會簡稱為"LAPUTA" [唔知點解唔叫"天空之城"??]. 呢個字喺日文中無特別意思,但西文中嘅"LA PUTA"就係一個貶意詞,用來罵人係"女.性工作者"...　係一個喺香港教我西文嘅老師解釋比我聽嘅,當年呢部動畫咁紅,周圍都有人講,難為我老師次次聽到人講呢個字就打哂冷震...

MITSUBISHI PAJERO

曾經頗時興嘅三菱四駒車型號,PAJERO係南美一種山貓,但呢個字喺西班牙俚語中解作"WANKER",有D FRIENDS就好抵死咁話:啱囉!呢D車其實係爬山/野外用GA MA,D人買嚟平日返工,去超級市場用嘅真係名符其實,仲自己"咩"埋個名係架車到添... [純粹轉述...如有得罪,請多多包涵 ] 所以呢款車喺講西文嘅國家發行個陣都要改過個名先得.

調返過來,有D字喺西文裡頭全無問題,但D發音比某些外語人士聽到就笑餐死...

HORNIMAN

喺西班牙同南美好暢銷嘅紅茶茶包,我第一次見到笑到喊...飲左會變[HORNI-MAN],咁我飲唔飲好呢??? 難得嘅係我一位精通英語嘅西文朋友竟然咁多年都冇發現呢個問題囉...我講返比佢聽個陣佢都笑左好耐!

¡HOLA! [讀法: 柯LA]

西文嘅HELLO. 大家一讀就知咩事啦...好似無時無刻都問住卡樂B係咪要辦公咁...

烏龍事件簿

事件一

臨飛之前一晚,諗住將部相機上足電,就可以隨時想影就影,好辛苦將PACK好左喺艾先生臭鞋入面嘅CHARGER掘返出來...仲寫埋紙仔提醒自己要收返CHARGER入喼,萬無一失啦...點知CHECK-IN之後,想攞部相機出黎同卡樂B影下相先發現:舊電CHARGER 度,CHARGER喺喼入面,喼...CHECK-IN左LOR

事件二

去到機場泊好車好快咁揾到CHECK-IN櫃位,正!!!無人等緊,一埋到去 ~ 擺PASSPORTS個袋仲喺車度!CHECK-IN小姐叫我地埋去都無用,要等艾先生去攞返個袋,真無奈...最後好彩艾先生及時趕到,又未有新到嘅乘客CHECK-IN,我地先唔洗眼白白睇住人CHECK-IN攞位.

事件三

回程時,大家都歸心似箭...6點落機,我地計畫好在歸家途中去超級市場上貨,然後返屋企餵卡樂B食晚飯,安頓好卡樂B就UNPACK,我第二朝要8點準時返工...於是一攞左行李就急急腳向CUSTOMS直衝. 咪住...[見到換片房!]又話幫卡樂B換左片先上車嘅? 於是我就抱卡樂B入去換片LOR. 換換下片...漏左阿仔架私家車未攞呀!!! 好彩仲未過CUSTOMS,唔係又要攪一排先可以領返架車. 艾先生事後就只係好輕鬆咁話我地無試過有PUSHCHAIR要CHECK-IN GA MA...

經過今次呢個SHORT TRIP,我地對帶小朋友出遊有左經驗,將來要去長途都會有好D心理準備,唔會咁大懵同無手忙腳亂GA LA

成為了天父的兒女

今次返鄉下,艾先生一家最想做嘅就係同卡樂B(AND ME!)安排領洗

,話哂佢地係生長喺天主教國家,神唔神心一回事,領洗就同攞出世紙一樣,差不多係指定動作咁濟... 所以當艾先生一講左比屋企知我有左唔夠1日...嫲嫲同艾先生講電話就話姑姐好想做BB嘅教母

...

我自己點睇? 我細個都係讀教會學校,唸經由細唸到大,學校攪嘅宗教活動我都有參加,仲去過慕道班,後來唔知點解不了了知,時機未到卦

...

有冇做過D乜野準備工作呀? 知道有左卡樂B,艾先生就話想開始番去MASS,咁我地逢星期日就去MASS LOR,係咁多咋...

姑姐一家就一路都有幫我地問佢地一個做神父嘅朋友點樣可以喺鄉下領洗. 呢個神父年紀雖然大,但想法好開通,佢話未上堂[慕道班],我未必唔可以領洗嘅

...

就係咁,佢叫我地搵呢邊教堂嘅神父寫封介紹信話我地係返呢個教堂嘅教友,想喺呢邊領洗. 於是我地一返到去就托姑姐交封信比佢,佢就開始搵可以舉行領洗儀式嘅教堂,我地就喺屋企STANDBY

. 點解咁複雜嘅? 由於佢專喺貧民窟做邊沿青少年工作,所以佢冇ATTACH喺一間特定嘅教堂,另外就係呢度嘅教堂係逢星期日先做領洗嘅.而我地就只有3日時間(等唔到星期日...),要喺咁短時間內揾一間肯做真係唔容易... 我地就一日收唔到消息都唔知今次返去有冇得領洗...

最後,我地喺第三日下午收到消息

話黃昏可以去領洗!

舉行領洗嘅教堂好新,1988年建成,都係D比較"現代派簡約主意"嘅建築

舉行領洗儀式專用嘅壇

神父祝聖盤水,然後就用呢D祝左聖嘅聖水幫我地受洗

神父話卡樂B好叻 ~ 係佢主持過咁多受洗儀式中唯一一個唔喊嘅BB!

儀式用西班牙文進行,我真係聽得到好少...

不過以我好有限嘅西文所聽到嘅幾隻字,我都覺得儀式中個段故事分享好似好有意思,所以之後我就問佢地攞返個稿睇,真係一個好感動嘅故事,同大家分享下先:

La Ternura de Dios

Esta noche tuve un sueño. Soñé que caminaba por la playa en compañía del Señor. En la pantalla de la noche se proyectaban todos los días de mi vida.
Miré hacia atrás y vi que por cada día de mi vida, aparecian huellas sobre la arena; una huella mía y otra del Señor. Seguí caminando adelante hasta que todos mis días se agotaron. Me paré entonces hacia atrás y vi que en algunos sitios sólo había una huella... Coincidían estos sitios con los días más aciagos de mi vida: los de mayor angustia, los de miedo mayor y de mayor dolor...
Y pregunté entonces: “Señor, tú me dijiste que ibas a estar conmigo todos los días de mi vida, y yo acepté vivir contigo. ¿Por qué me dejaste solo justamente en los peores momentos de mi vida?”
Y el Señor me respondió: “Hijo mío, yo te amo. Te aseguré que estaría contigo a lo largo de todo el camino, y que no te dejaría solo ni un segundo. Y lo he cumplido... Los días que has visto una huella sólo sobre la arena, han sido los días en los que te he llevado en mis brazos”.

翻譯成英文,內容大概如下:

The Tenderness of God

Tonight I had a dream. I dreamed that I walked down the beach in the company of the Lord. A screen in the sky was projecting every day of my life.
I looked back and saw that every day of my life, there were footprints on the sand, a track of mine and one of the Lord. I keep walking forward till all of my days were gone. Then I stood back and saw that at some scenes there was only a trace ... These scenes coincided with the darkest days of my life: the days of the greatest anguish, the fear of more and more pain...
Then I asked: "Lord, you told me you were going to be with me every day of my life, I accepted it and live with you. Why was I left alone on my own in all of the darkest moments of my life?"
And the Lord replied: "My son, I love you. I assure you that I would be with you all along the way, and that I would not leave you, not even one single second. And what I did ... The days that you saw only one set of footprints on the sand, have been days when I carried you in my arms."
