<< review queue entry 51309 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> I don't think "derogatory" is the right word. It can be sarcastic, but not necessarily: TP ~ 一位台灣來的女友嫁給德國醫生，老公在鄉下開診所，據說是方圓50公里內的唯一一家，生意興隆，整天病人川流不息，我看了十分羨慕：「你們一定數鈔票數到手軟！」女友卻搖搖頭苦笑：「妳想得美咧，累個半死，賺不到什麼錢。」 A Taiwanese friend of mine is married to a German doctor who has a private practice in the countryside. She told me that there was no other doctor for 50 kilometers around, that business was booming, and that hey had a steady stream of patients every day. A little envious, I told her, "You must be really raking it in." My friend shook her head, smiling: "It's not like you imagine. It's backbreaking work and you make very little money." I believe we use "coll." now rather than "colloquial". But anyway, I think the English can be phrased so that it's unnecessary to add the tag "coll." A: If you're going to be gone for a month, then you won’t mind if I use your room, right? 如果你要离开一个月，那你一定不介意我用你的房间了？ B: Nice try 想得美 |
