闲扯 - 打八折

Post by CAVA » 2006-08-22 14:22

我常怀疑自己是否有读写障碍,document十之八九写成docuemnt 。好好的字就会看差,最近的两个例子:1)去饭店点菜,一列主菜都以overloaded开头,定睛再看,原来是ovenbaked。2)上MSN,有位老友经常碰不到,名字很久没变,叫巨蟹照耀下的双子。隔三差五的我就把它看成巨蟹照耀下的蚊子,实在对不起人。:f21:

方言道:眼睛打八折。果然传神。

又下班后看下载的裹脚布韩剧(低品质的精神生活好于没有精神生活),原音加字幕。学了两个词语:亲故好象是朋友,成亲好象是结婚。发音和中文有八成类似。

韩国话比日本话的分贝约大了一倍,衣服的颜色和花样比日剧的繁复一倍以上。吃饭时桌上的盘子碗比日本多N倍,嗯,韩菜喜欢一起上,热闹;日本料理一道道上,大概也会造成视觉上的偏差。

哈哈哈,我家先生是眼睛打八折的典型:
show grill 看成 show girl。
coconut flake 看成 coconut fake。

昨天韩国同事请我们去吃饭。点了BBQ牛肉、海鲜煎饼、豆腐锅等等,再加上一堆小菜碟子,摆了一桌子,煞是热闹。
印度师弟问他:你天天晚饭都这么吃吗?
韩国同事大吃一惊:我哪儿有这么富裕!

好像原来有个例子, 找不到原文了. 一段英文文章每个词都拼错. 但每个词的开头和结尾都对, 大多数人都毫无问题地把该段的意思理解对.

This is not the same kind of dyslexic joke but in the same vein:

My ex-ex-boss is Texan. His wife is from Louisianna. They have different accents. He told this joke:

The first time I took Bona to my hometown, I drove everywhere to show her everything. I pointed to the landmarks and the buildings -- This was the liquor store I hung out. This is the City Hall. This is the Court House...

Bona looked at me with a look and asked, "The whore house?"

It's not funny when I write it out but you have to hear him say it in a Texas accent.

All of these are legitimate companies dealing in regular products and services, but they didn't think their domain names through. Take note of their 'Domain Names.'

Some of them are prime candidates for the "What was I thinking?" Award!

1). A site called 'Who represents' where you can find the name of The agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name is: www.whorepresents.com

2). 'Experts Exchange', a knowledge base where programmers can Exchange advice and views at: www.expertsexchange.com

3). Looking for a pen ???? Look no further than 'Pen Island' at: www.penisland.net

4) Need a 'therapist' ???? Try 'Therapist Finder' at: www.therapistfinder.com

5). Then of course, there's the ' Italian Power Generator Company' - www.powergenitalia.com

6). And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com

7). If you're looking for computer software, there's always www.ipanywhere.com

9). Cool. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is www.cummingfirst.com

9). Then, of course, there's these brainless art designers, and their whacky website: www.speedofart.com

10). Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe ?????? Try their brochure website at: www.gotahoe.com

If you are always like this, maybe you are slightly, just slightly, dyslexia? :huh: Lots of people have it actually, and professionally, they are not affected by it at all. It's one of those cool, even trendy, dysfunctions. :-D
