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。

兩年前,梁禮勤响七月尾做埋最後一日嘅一切從音樂開始,離開咗商台。今年,又係七月尾,劉偉恆最埋最後一日嘅我恆我素,亦離開咗。亨恆勤從此成為絕響。其實只係今日無無聊用 google 想睇睇梁禮勤嘅近況,無耐,搵到嘅反而係劉偉恆離開商台嘅結果。 當年,剛剛由美國返嚟,有一晚無無聊聊聽到...

作為一個中文人,寫字要小心係理所當然。就好似你唔會話:「我從小便...」但前幾日响電話舖見到:「一咭多號電話咭可以响各大便利掂買到...」我心只會諗,就算我要買,都唔會想去買。 諗到呢句嘅人,一係無腦嘅,一係太過聰明,想同顧客開一場玩笑。批呢句出街嘅高層,應該無乜點去留心睇清...

我上司曾經話過我係一個唔係好駛點煩惱嘅人。或者係我怕煩,所以避得就避,通常都唔駛點煩。 好似 18K 事件咁,好多人都嘩嘩聲。但呢一兩日,又响第二個 project 度搵得返,本來就無煩過,依家就更輕鬆。唔駛出去接 freelance 都有額外收入,係一件美好嘅事,起碼多咗空餘嘅...
