#講反話
“Cherry 🍒 on top” = 「錦上添花」
“We can’t be too careful” - 點解
————————
講反話
明報 | 英文 | 毛孟靜
看過一部荷李活電影,男主角給人喝罵:You killed him! 你殺了他! 他一臉不屑答:Yeah right. 哦,對的。之後控方就真的提出,說證人已認罪。
這個證明當然不能成立,因為不論中、英文或其他許多語文都一樣,日常生活中的對答,一定包括說反話。
就像有人憑空指你考試出貓,你只覺沒好氣,答:對呀!我還買試卷呢!按常理,就知道這回答只是句反話。
英文中一些用詞,聽上去好像十分正面,但意思恰恰相反,這就是不折不扣的反話。譬如說,He has a thin chance of winning,他勝出的機會很微。Thin chance 解作機會小,那麼fat chance 就等於機會大了?
不,不管 fat 或 thin,說的都是機會小;fat chance 的語氣更重一些,可以指完全沒有機會,更包含一點嘲諷味道。
• Do you think he's going to win this? 你認為他會贏嗎?Fat chance. 完全不。
一些英文習語,就像我們的成語,本身一般用作表達正面信息,但視乎上文下理,一樣可以用作反話。像要批評政府抗疫措施,中文措詞可用上「雷厲風行」一語,來增添尖酸刻薄之意。英文也一樣。Cherry on top 是指雪糕上的一粒車厘子,跟中文的「錦上添花」有異曲同工之妙,但實際運用起來,意思卻正反皆可。
• He was acquitted of the fraud charge. And for the cherry on top, the company is giving him his old job back. 他脫了欺詐罪。錦上添花的是,公司讓他復職。
· I kept re-running my cringeworthy meeting with him, and thecherry on top was that I was weak and headachy, a little bitqueasy. 我不斷回想跟他那個尷尬突兀的會面,而「錦上添花」的是,事發時我虛弱、頭痛及有一點暈眩。
類似的用法另有 to a fault,通常解作一個人的某些特質過了頭:He is generous to a fault. 他太慷慨了。
但用作反話,可以說 He's zealous to a fault,他熱心得過了頭,亦即等於說這個人 overzealous,瞎熱心。而 overzealous staff 往往是服務行業道歉聲明中的一個常用語:都是我們過分熱心的(因而幫了倒忙)職員不對。
另外有一句話,不正也不反,卻有許多人會誤會了意思:
• We can't be too careful. 根據字面,說的彷彿是「我們不可以太小心」?錯了,意思其實是「我們不可能太小心」,也即是說,沒有太小心這回事,我們必須絕對小心就是了。還有以下用語,它們又是不是反話呢?
1. I can't sing to save my life.
2. I can't do small talk to save my life.
這兩句話同樣不正也不反。自稱 can't do something to save one’s own life,是自謙甚至自貶的說法,是說自己完全做不到正在說的事,故答案是:
1. 我(五音不全)唱不了歌。
2. 我完全不擅長寒暄。
同時也有4部Youtube影片,追蹤數超過25萬的網紅13N,也在其Youtube影片中提到,升檔犯錯騎不順都是嚇到自己居多,但是降檔犯錯就有可能造成失控或離合損傷,千萬要注意!至於檔煞是不是都不好?不能以偏概全,下坡路段檔煞就很好用,可以控制車速防止煞車過熱。Upshifting errors aren't super critical, but downshifting mistakes...

be careful with中文 在 Namewee 黃明志 Facebook 的最佳貼文
These geniuses involved in this [Ok lah]song are the TOP musicians from Malaysia, who came from different states and cities. The most difficult part of this project is the way we collect each other’s music files recorded by each artist, and to mix them together. We also require them to shoot the best possible video for us; you have to know that they are "musicians", not photographers, which resulted in them having to remake again and again for a good shoot, then we need to collect all these videos, and edit all the videos into one MV. This is a very hard work lu tahu?!
Let me answer your questions since I saw many people asking questions here. The musical instrument that looks very much like a skateboard is called "SAPE" from the Aborigines of Sarawak. There is also a violin with wings, you are right, it is a VIOLIN. The flute is not Chinese flute, it’s a Malay traditional flute called “Seruling”. The cute Sabahan girl is an Aborigine; she has a Chinese surname “TAN” because she is mixed. There is a percussion player from New York, USA. He is a very famous percussion player and living in Malaysia for a long time oredi. Whenever each musician appears in the music video, their names are shown below, together with the names of the instruments they play, and their hometown and state. How CLEAR izit!
We want to dedicate this song to all heroes from the frontline. We hope you like it, and please share it out! Everyone should be careful when going out tomorrow, don't play play . . I wish you all a happy return to work! and Happy Ramadan!
[OK lah]MV裡面出現的都是馬來西亞最頂級的音樂人,來自四面八方不同的州屬和城市。這個製作難度最高的就是蒐集他們錄製好的樂器,然後混音在一起。還有就是要他們這些音樂人自己想辦法拍攝出我們要的畫面,拍不好還要重拍,然後集合完所有的畫面,再把他們剪接成一個MV。真的辛苦大家了!
至於你們在裡面看到幾個比較奇怪的樂器和人物,這裡為你解答.比如很像滑板的,那是砂拉越原住民的傳統樂器SAPE。還有一個有翅膀的小提琴,沒錯那就是小提琴。沙巴的土著美女是混血兒所以有中文姓氏。裡面有個美國紐約的黑人,他已經在馬來西亞住了很久很久了。是有名的敲擊樂手。MV裡面每個人物出現的時候下面有他們的名字,所玩的樂器的名字,下面則是他們的家鄉和州屬。
這首歌是大家一起來完成的,我們要獻給每一位抗疫英雄。希望大家會喜歡,也請大家多多分享。明天出門的時候大家還是要小心,不要開玩笑...祝大家開工快樂!齋戒月快樂!

be careful with中文 在 13N Youtube 的精選貼文
升檔犯錯騎不順都是嚇到自己居多,但是降檔犯錯就有可能造成失控或離合損傷,千萬要注意!至於檔煞是不是都不好?不能以偏概全,下坡路段檔煞就很好用,可以控制車速防止煞車過熱。Upshifting errors aren't super critical, but downshifting mistakes can lead to loss of control and worn out clutches. Be careful! 原本這篇先用 Ninja 300拍了一遍,結果滑離合無法示範出問題所在,就拿滑胎車重拍了!I actually filmed this episode with Ninja 300 first, but the slipper clutches pretty much eliminated all the intentional mistakes I want to show. I guess it worked too well. XD

車子越騎越慢,也對孤輪沒這麼著迷.....直到現在換騎滑胎車。不認真練一下也太可惜。但就怕摔車。就算是安全的環境,特技還是風險很大。當天練習至少五個人摔車..三台摔到漏機油。要練大家千萬小心。I thought I had stopped obesseeing with trying to wheelie...then this supermoto came along. Wheelie's the least I could do, right? I am scared of crashing. Even in the so-called safe environment, shit can always happen when you try stunting. At least 5 bikes crashed on the day, and 3 of them had oil leak from cracked engine case. Please be careful when practicing!

*中文视频*
25楼的风景的确很美! 看见遥远的白沙湾, 仿佛一幅画,肯定念念不忘。 :)
We have a magnificent view of White Sand Bay of Sandakan.
Stay in at 25th Floor and room was occupied with the essential needs of guests.
We had a wonderful time with Four Points by Sheraton. The hotel is located at the city centre of Sandakan, although there's quite a lot of foreigners there which basically travelers might avoid that area, what I need to say is you just need to be extra careful during the night.
Anyway, It's okay to walk around. As an advise, we just need to be aware whenever we go! ;)
