#鼠年 講 #rat 抑或 #mouse 😉

//十二生肖中,為什麼有老鼠,卻沒有貓?我們對老鼠通常並無好感,會罵人鼠輩、膽小如鼠,意思類似 coward 懦夫;形容人獐頭鼠目、蛇頭鼠眼,就等於英文的a ratty face。
而蛇鼠一窩,是指有一群形態鬼祟、心術不正的人 gang up 圖謀之意。
老鼠可登生肖龍虎榜的一個民間傳說,是這樣的:黃帝要選聘十二種動物來擔任宮廷衛士,眾動物皆應徵,原本是貓拜託老鼠代為報名,但老鼠騙了貓,報的是自己的名,從此貓鼠成為世仇:Cats and mice are perennial enemies.
這不禁令人聯想起卡通Tom and Jerry ,湯姆貓與謝利鼠,永恆互相追逐,鬥智鬥力;但他們並非仇家,有時也是朋友。
A Tom and Jerry relationship is also a love-hate relationship: They tease each other, knock down each other, irritate each other, but can't live without each other.湯姆貓與謝利鼠是又愛又恨的關係:他們彼此嘲諷攻擊、互相激怒,但卻不能沒有了對方。
鼠年,英文講Year of the Rat,為什麼一定是rat,不說mouse?這個,應該屬語文習慣,約定俗成,也許亦因為mouse的體積太小,too small,too insignificant,看似分量太輕。但事實上,rat 與 mouse 的頭及尾巴確有分別。
此外,除了米奇老鼠 Micky Mouse,鼠在英文的語境中,恰恰是可愛的相反。叫人做 a rat,就是鄙視其人形態卑劣、心術不正。A rat is a despicable person, especially one who is deceitful or disloyal,一個可恥的、尤其是欺詐或不忠的人。
Rat 用做動詞,一樣是負面的話:
To rat on someone,去做「二五仔」出賣對方,亦即香港人的流行語「篤灰」。
• You just don't rat on friends. 你就是不可出賣朋友。
• Many of his friends rallied to his support, others ratted and joined the enemy. 他的許多朋友群起支持他,但也有一些掉轉槍頭加入敵營。
而to rat someone out,可以跟上面的意思一樣,但亦可以調轉頭,變成是好人面對壞人的說法。
• He is a snitch. We need to rat him out. 他是個二五仔。我們要把他揪出來。
說到底即將送舊迎新,鼠年將至,總要有點吉利的話吧?
有,靈巧如鼠:Agile as a mouse / rat。
要注意的是,英文的機靈敏捷巧功,agility,通常不用鼠,而是以猴、蛇(正如中文會說靈猴、靈蛇)以及黃鼠狼來做比喻:
• Agile as a monkey 敏捷如猴
• Agile as a snake 機敏像蛇
• Agile as a weasel 靈活似黃鼠狼

"故事精彩丰富,互动性超强,老少咸宜,《了不起的狐狸爸爸》果真了不起!"
We watched Fantastic Mr Fox this morning and I have to say it's one of the most enjoyable shows we've watched so far. Even the hubby say it stands out from other shows and is refreshingly creative.
Fantastic Mr Fox, a classic tale by Roald Dahl, is an inspiring story about the brave and witty Mr Fox who, with the help of his family and friends, outsmarts three farmers’ nasty schemes in order to provide food for his animal friends. Did you know that the weasel is 黄鼠狼, mole is 鼹鼠 and badger is 獾 in Mandarin? Yup, we definitely learnt something new today. Watching Mandarin theatrical productions is such a good way for the kids to brush up on their mother tongue language too.
We thoroughly loved how the cast would interact with the audience (they even walked around before it started, asked if we've eaten and gave the kids high fives) throughout the show, how they would switch effortlessly into their different roles, how they were so natural at cracking jokes and making us laugh as they retold this classic story about kinship and friendship.
Asher seldom tells me that he loves shows but this time round, he said he did, especially at the part where he had to 挖呀挖呀挖 and pretend to dig with the cast. The girls were reminded that a family sticks together through hardship and that in the face of tough obstacles, you never give up. That is so important, right?
The show runs till 13 Sept so do get your tickets @sisticsingapore if you have not. Thanks to @srt_thelittlecompany for this totally fabulous Mandarin production!

A YEAR AGO I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE. I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE AND TO HAVE ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
LOVE YOU ALL.
Well I guess most of you have probably heard by now that I was in that Plusliner bus that ran off the highway near the Semanggul rest stop this afternoon. Serve me right for riding on a cheap bus, but it was the only one available at the time. A few people got killed. I'm still alive but knocked my head quite hard. The lady next to me flew out the front window. She's dead.
I'll go get all the head scans etc done tomorrow, but I am fine I think. Just a little bit shaken.
There was a noisy kid behind me that kept on kicking my chair and waking me up throughout the journey. I kinda wish HE was dead, but they say, that's not a nice thing to wish on children, no matter how annoying they are.
I still don't know how to tell my mom, because she'll panic and forbid me from riding the bus ever again. Well I guess she'll know now.
I asked one friend who was 30 minutes away if he could help come get me. He told me he didn't know where it was, even though it was right on the highway, and I gave him the location, and then he asked me, "Can't you get yourself a cab?". And he's ignored every consequent text from me from thence onwards. Some friend, huh... LOL. I do have to thank Alex for going out of his way, even though he's in Bangkok, to get one of his friends to drive over and pick me up. I should've accepted that offer. And Firdaus was really helpful with al the calls and stuff. Thank you for that, guys. I really needed you. And you came through.
I just want everybody to know I am ok. I am just a bit shaken, but I gotta shake this off and concentrate on the wedding gig I have to sing at tomorrow. And then I can process all of this and perhaps think how to go about suing the bus company and putting them out of business. Accidents happen, but the way this was handled was reprehensible.
The accident occurred around 530pm. Plusliner was supposed to send another bus to pick us up from Penang, which is 30 minutes away. It is now 930pm and most of the passengers (whose own families haven't come to get them) and I are still waiting. The police have come to take our statements, The bus company officers have come, sniffing their ugly noses, trying to find a way to weasel themselves out of the blame. Fucking super efficient bunch of assholes aren't they..... The Plusliner representative just asked us to lug our bags across the grass again and cross the highway to the other side in pitch darkness. Thank God the people working the cranes to remove the accident debris on the highway stopped us. Otherwise there'd have been more deaths from being run over by cars. I have never felt more like I am living in a third-world-country than I am right now, today.
Even the idiot tudung-clad girl selling drinks at the store had the nerve to ask me, "Would you ever ride a bus again after this, and what did the police ask you?" "Police asked me how big my dick was. Whatddaya think they asked me, asshole??!!" Of course I didn't say that... I gave her a cold stare that made her shut the fuck up right away. Some of these cunts really need to learn their place, and get their mouths sewn up.
I really just wanna get home.
It was such a jolt when it all happened, we were thrown around in the bus. I really thought I was gonna die. And the only thoughts that ran through my head were my mom and my sisters and my Oscar and my Fifi. And I thought to myself, "I hope they know how much I love them..."... Soppy, right???
I've never been happier to be alive.
If you feel bad for me, please send me diamonds.
Thanks.

接續大陸「守歲」舞台劇巡迴演出,因為實在是出國太久了,我決定把Cindy飛過來,帶他天津爬爬走! 他沒有體驗過天氣0下溫度,在這樣的刺激之下我帶他走在街上吃小吃和拍照。不用5分鐘他就感到它真是一個不一樣的城市,陪我們一起體驗我們對天津的第一個印象。
Traveling on tour in China for Stage Play goes on and on, so I flew Cindy out to Tianjin for a short visit. She has never experienced such cold weather where even rivers freeze. Come with us for a first hand experience walking on the streets and eating the small foods,
