英文有好多人名同地方名用 -ham 做 suffix, 廣東話就一律以「咸」為音譯，如果以中譯發音嚟同英文，會錯得好離譜。
例子1: 球星 David Beckham 音譯碧咸，英讀 Beckam
例子2: 球會 Fulham, 音譯富咸，英讀 Fulam
例子3: 前港督 Bonham, 音譯般咸，英讀 Bonam
個 H 响發音上就彷彿係永遠無角色咁。
Pop Quiz, 你又估吓球會熱刺所在嘅 Tottenham, 英文會點讀?

唔係 Tottenam, 係 Tottnam.
所以，學英文都係查字典好，再唔係，搵 Google 大神都得。

如果你問我，正生搬去屋企附近有無問題，我無所謂。反而明報今日一則副刊，令我有更深切嘅反思: 共同分擔不受歡迎設施 對於有梅窩人不滿偏偏選了他們的社區，陳健民說，社會有多類型的設施需要大家承擔，只要不是過於集中一個地區，就有道德責任接受，就算富裕如數碼港 的富豪區，也有此責任。美國...

人體三大成份: 骨骼、肌肉、脂肪。成年人骨骼已經成熟，基本上唔會再生長，骨質甚至會流失，但响四十歲前，都唔有太大改變。 今日無聊搵教練度一度，原來呢一年半以嚟，脂肪比例由 25% 跌至 19%! 即係肌肉多咗，脂肪少咗，由接近癡肥變成剛剛超重。响食多咗嘢，運動量亦不見得有增加嘅情...
