涮吧 涮吧

    孩子他爸愛吃火鍋, 但一直叫它 "shabu shabu". 幾次心平氣和地勸他改叫 hot pot, 但都不見效. 我也便忍了. 不曾想今天, 他除了接著叫 shabu shabu, 居然問我: " Do you think it was originated in Japan and you guys learnt from them?"

    除了炸醬麵和烤鴨, 我就愛火鍋. 你膽敢胡說這是跟日本學的? 我吸了口氣, 心平氣和地說:"I think it is the other way around.  They learnt from us.  Becuse we call it 涮吧 涮吧 in Chinese. It is like bonsai, we call it 盆栽. Got it?"

日語和華語比較接近.

挺有趣的故事，你這孩子他爸是個美國人吧？看來還需要進一步改造才能成為合格的丈夫，嗬嗬！
