rose~ Posted May 21, 2006 at 11:59 AM Report Posted May 21, 2006 at 11:59 AM What is the big deal over this video? Well I watched it originally because I'm learning Cantonese (that's my excuse!), but now I see there are more and more new versions coming out. Anyway, it's useful for listening practice, and I picked up a few interesting phrases The original, with over 1.5 million views! -*CONTAINS PROFANITY* -with subs -English subs 巴士阿叔大戰Alan Ho 巴士阿叔手機版下載-Mobile version! -Mandarin Subs Quote
skylee Posted May 21, 2006 at 12:14 PM Report Posted May 21, 2006 at 12:14 PM There is very foul language in the recording so I had to stop listening (make sure you do not pick that up). Anyways, 阿叔 is a nickname for a HK sports commentator 林尚義. 巴士 refers to the place where the recording took place. Looks like that it is alleged that 阿叔 is a party of the conversation but I doubt it ... Quote
rose~ Posted May 21, 2006 at 12:23 PM Author Report Posted May 21, 2006 at 12:23 PM hmm, sorry about that. Perhaps I didn;t realise how bad it is. I just wondered, why is this film so popular? In the UK, if you create that kind of argument on a bus in a city you might be hit or stabbed... I read through these comments to pick up a bit of the different writing style: here. e.g. "大家點睇?" =) Quote

rose~ Posted May 31, 2006 at 08:57 AM Author Report Posted May 31, 2006 at 08:57 AM I don't know if we should "感到無奈", because that young guy, his behaviour is actually a good example of not reacting when provoked. Honestly where I am from in all probability the "bus uncle" would not live to say another "未解決!“ or whatever if he spoke in that way to a stranger (I do appreciate that the young man did tap him on the shoulder first). In a bizarre way I think it shoes the young man has a good upbringing (教養) and gives a good impression of Hong Kong. bus uncle on the news (no subs) Quest, what is "排球话食叉烧"? Speaking volleyball talk and eating cha siu? if so, what does that mean? Quote
skylee Posted May 31, 2006 at 01:27 PM Report Posted May 31, 2006 at 01:27 PM what is "排球话食叉烧"? Speaking volleyball talk and eating cha siu? if so, what does that mean? I am no Quest, obviously. Anyway, 食叉燒 is a Cantonese slang used in commentary of ball games. Take a look at this in-depth Cantonese explanation. 有 陣 時 大 家 睇 睇 o下 波 ， 忽 然 聽 到 有 人 話 呢 次 仲 唔 食 叉 燒 ？ 或 者 會 諗 ， 唔 係 o下 話 ， 個 球 場 點 會 有 叉 燒 呢 ？ 斷 估 都 唔 會 有 球 員 踢 緊 波 ， 無 啦 啦 有 閒 情 去 食 碟 叉 燒 o卦， 係 咪 ？ 「 食 叉 燒 」 呢 個 term 係 來 自 英 文 「 chance 」 （ 機 會 ） ， 叉 燒 係 取 其 諧 音 而 成 ， 意 思 都 係 一 樣 ， 即 係 話 「 呢 次 有 機 會 入 波 喇 」 。 其 實 係 o的 中 國 人 學 鬼 佬 講 波 ， 點 知 又 講 得 唔 正 ， 講 講 o下 就 變 咗 叉 燒 ， 後 來 仲 索 性 叫 做 食 叉 燒 。 Quote
rose~ Posted May 31, 2006 at 04:02 PM Author Report Posted May 31, 2006 at 04:02 PM 多謝, Skylee Wow, cha siu being "chance", that's so funny, that's even better than [pop=excess under-arm fat/bàibàiròu]拜拜肉[/pop]！ I like Cantonese! Quote
Ian_Lee Posted June 1, 2006 at 02:04 AM Report Posted June 1, 2006 at 02:04 AM What I see is that HK society has been over-tolerant for some 50-70 years old grumpy guys who have always caused commotion. They are usually uneducated, unemployed and reliant on public welfare. The typical case is the "Victoria Park Uncle". Quote
gougou Posted June 1, 2006 at 02:52 AM Report Posted June 1, 2006 at 02:52 AM I disagree with the point that the young guy's behavior is a good example. I am not Chinese, so I might be misinterpreting, but I find his behavior very, very provoking. He knows quite well how to handle the old guy and whenever the case finally seems settled finds another point that calls for another tirade. Needless to say, however, that I don't like the old man's behavior, either. For an interview with the bus uncle, read ESWN. Quote
tsuialex Posted June 2, 2006 at 06:23 PM Report Posted June 2, 2006 at 06:23 PM well also check this: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B7%B4%E5%A3%AB%E9%98%BF%E5%8F%94 "5月26日，香港的《香港經濟日報》、《蘋果日報》、《星島日報》等報道事件。隨後，美國的美聯社、《水銀日報》、《紐約時報》、英國《衛報》、泰國《國家報》、阿聯酋《海灣時報》、南非《獨立報》、加拿大《The Gazette》、台灣《東森新聞報》、《福布斯》網上新聞等傳媒亦有報導此項事件，事件進一步向世界傳播。" now the world is watching closely such issue!
