Who says Ah Lian English is poor? Just read below – hers’ one is simple, short, concise, straight-to-the-point, effective etc.

Ah Lian: You siao is it?

WHEN SOMEONE LEAVE A COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG

Yankee: Hey, I am kinda like your post, can we be friends?

Bluesky
为了不想再引起博界的轩然大波,阁下的意思是...

[ 好的,好的,我闪开,你走!你走!]

哈哈哈,你的留言笑死我啦!


阿葆 Paul
除了第一篇不知所谓的外星人自传,其他都是从朋友转载贴上来的啦!

写英文写到我差点吐血身亡…………

I'll be back!

Everybody watch out.


阿祥
亲爱的,一种米养百样人,外星人早已看破红尘,难道你还没有放下心中的怨恨?

最近我忙着学人家搞些网站小生意哦,私下再和你八卦。

Manglish 确实不是纯正的英语,要学习别人的母语,就要讲好好来,就好像我们也希望别人能够尊重我们的母语一样。

让外星人感到纳闷的是,为什么英文了不起的香蕉人总是比我们多了一份优越感?没有放弃母语的我们为什么又会因为英文烂而感到自卑呢?奇怪嘛!

你的 “大家都是阿炳阿莲”令人很有亲切感哦。


Lala
哈哈哈,你的 Manglish 笑死我啦!

厉害咯你!赢 liao 咯。
