A #dirty magazine 色情雜誌,a dirty movie 三級電影,一句 give her a dirty look,或會誤解為「色迷迷的眼神」,這是錯的。 A dirty #look ,係 #𥇣死你。

A dirty look 「𥇣」死你
明報英文 | 毛孟靜
一日,在家偷拍家狗動靜,狗兒回眸一瞪,明顯不高興的眼神,用廣東話表達,就是:「影咩影,『𥇣 』死你吖嗱。」用英文講「𥇣 」死你,第一個想到的是:Give you a dirty look。
要留意,我們說 a dirty magazine 指色情雜誌,a dirty movie 係三級電影,一句 give her a dirty look,有人或會誤解為「色迷迷的眼神」,這是錯的。句子是說:給她一個憤怒 angry、表示反對 disapproving 、反感 disgusted 的眼神;簡單一點,就是怒視、「𥇣 」或矋。
· The other passengers gave me dirty looks for taking up too much room on the bus. 因我霸佔了太多空間,巴士上的其他乘客都向我怒目而視。
若在網上一查 a dirty look 的中文翻譯,會出現「骯髒的外觀」,這自然也是錯的。要記得,dirty 除了解作不潔、憤怒,亦可解作「不可接受、令人反感的事物」。
像 dirty word(s) 髒話,好像就代表粗口,就與性有關?不一定呢,看以下 dirty word 的用法:
· For environmentalists, "disposable" has become a dirty word. 對環境保護者來說,「即用即棄」已變成一個髒詞。
· "Quarantine" is quite a dirty word among business travellers amidst the pandemic. 在大流行病期間,商務客視「隔離」一語如髒話。
回說 a dirty look,若要進一步形容憤怒,可說:
· Getting increasingly annoyed, I decided to give her AN EVIL EYE. 我益發惱怒,決定向她惡狠狠地瞪眼。
· He had a dark look in his eyes, AN EVIL STARE. 他眼睛裏閃過一份陰沉,散發敵意。
這個 evil,固然也解作邪惡,但一般是指「不懷好意」;當中確也包含仇恨 hateful、惡意 malicious 以至恐嚇 threatening 的味道。
· I saw him giving me the evil eye, so I turned around and walked the other way. 看到他用敵意以至恐嚇的眼神瞪過來,我於是掉頭走另一條路。
或問,不管 a dirty look 或 an evil stare ,平鋪直敘說 an angry look、an angry stare 不就可以了嗎?當然可以,但文字就少了色彩。還有,不喜歡用不等於不用知道 —— 尤其是 a dirty look 是常用語,聽人家說了,不要誤解意思也就好。中文同樣會形容一個人「眼放飛劍」,是說眼神之凌厲如有殺意。英文用短劍 daggers,眾數。
· Daggers were coming out of her eyes. 她眼放飛劍。
. He obviously hates me. He stares daggers at me. 他一定是憎恨我,他向我眼放飛劍。
· He saw her sour and angry face. He was getting daggers from her. 他看到她一臉惱怒,一直在向他發放飛劍。

【感謝 Thank You ❤️ 】
因為疫情,開啟了我第一次在線上看命。也因為疫情,許多人在家無聊就會看影片,我油管頻道的訂閱量和收看率因此扶搖直上。所以基本上我的一天,就是白天對著電腦講話,晚上在電腦上打字剪片,急迫的看著我的蘋果比深情看進我老公的雙眸還頻密。
有一次,早上十點就見客,
先飛✈️到紐約,
然後直奔🏃到台北,
接著翻跟斗🤸♂️到吉隆玻,
最後閃⚡️到東京。
一天裡面,中文英文粵語全都搬上場了。
工作天結束後,老公問我晚餐要吃什麼,我呆看著他一兩秒,一時想不到要用什麼語言回應。😂
見客人最窩心的是諮詢後,他們發自內心寫的感謝函。
有些人可能認為就一場交易嘛,客人給紅包,我拿人錢財替人消災,天經地義。我不是生意人,國外國內風水命理師也很多,客人確實沒什麼必要特地和我打好關係或巴結我。
但也正因為這樣,他們事後還會花時間寫感謝函,才令我意外。我的性格也從不是因為你寫了讚美的話,我就給你打折。😁
我沒能力一一回覆,但在這裡統一感謝大家。❤️
最好的感謝方法,永遠是行動。我期待看到大家人生的改善,智慧的提升。
札西特勒。🙏

The pandemic pushed me to bring my Bazi consultations online. The same pandemic also locked many people up at home, and that's one major reason why my Youtube channel rocketed in number of subscribers and views.
So a typical day of mine will be me talking to my laptop in the day, and me jamming a post or editing a video on my laptop in the night. That means I stare at my Apple more than staring in the eyes of my husband.
Once, my consultations started at 10am.
I first flew ✈️ to New York,
then sprinted 🏃to Taipei,
followed by a somersault🤸♂️to Kuala Lumpur,
and Flash-ed my way ⚡️to Tokyo.
In that one day, my vocabulary repertoire of English, Mandarin and Cantonese were all used up.
When my work day ended, the husband asked what I wanted for dinner. I stared at him for that one, two seconds, momentarily not knowing what language to reply him in. 😂
One heartwarming thing about meeting clients is receiving their thank-you emails after our consultations.
Some people may view such consultations as merely transactional. After all, I am paid to remove ill fortunes for my clients, so it is justifiable that I do what I do. I am not a businesswoman, and there are plenty of Feng Shui practitioners available, local and overseas. There is indeed no need for clients to get into my good books or curry favour with me.
So it is always surprising when they take time to write thank-you emails to me. After all, I am not of the character who will give my clients a sweet discount when they say honeyed words of me. 😁
I am unable to reply to all, so here's "Thank you so much" to all of you. ❤️
The best way to thank me will always be you taking action. I look forward to seeing your lives improve and your wisdom grow.
Tashi Delek. 🙏
