「你睇下，英文餐牌喔！」
“Hey look, an ‘English’ menu!”
「呢個 ‘chicken to go’ 呢，係咩…外賣呀？」
“What is this ‘Chicken to go’? Do you mean like…takeaway/takeout?”
「我哋唔做外賣嘅！‘Chicken to go’ 即係走地雞！」
“We don't do takeway, it means free-range chicken!”
「噉呢個 ‘Pig red’ 係…」 「‘Pig red’ 我知！豬紅！」
“And ‘Pig red’ is…” “I know! Pig blood curd!”
* Pig blood curd=豬紅 (literally ‘pig red’ in Cantonese)
「噉呢個我知啦！‘Pig under the green’, 豬下青！」
“I know this one: ‘Pig under the green’, pork jowl (meat)!”
* Another literal translation, ‘Pig under the green’=豬下青
「但係呢個我又真係…」 “But this one is really…”
「老細呀！咩係 ‘Albert Yip’ 啊？」
“Boss! What's this ‘Albert Yip’?”
「牛柏葉！」 “Beef tripe!”
* In Cantonese, 牛柏葉 (beef tripe) is pronounced ngau4 baak3 jip6, which…can arguably sound like ‘Albert Yip’! Heh!
《法證先鋒 III》 (2011) 第十三集
This fictitious menu in this series was apparently inspired by a real Cantonese-to-English menu at a hotpot restaurant in Hong Kong. The menu went viral online for obvious reasons!
(pic of the real menu ↓; the real menu has loads more amusing and head-scratching translation faux pas! 笑)
The real menu that inspired the above scene in the series:
Call Me By Fire S2 has taken an incredibly cinematic approach this season and I’m not sure if I should be impressed or if I should lament how they’re kind of erasing what it means to perform on a stage?
It feels like these performances are designed for a TV audience rather than a live audience because so much of the aesthetics are reliant on close-up camera shots (and sometimes even slow-mo).
Just haven’t really been wow’d by any of this year’s performances yet, even though I love a lot of this year’s cast. Last year, the performances were designed to show off everyone’s stage presence with large, flashy dance numbers, or at least kinetic movement and travel on stage.
One example of wasted talent this year was how Raymond Lam and Vanness Wu, two artists who have extensive experience dancing and performing in sold-out arenas, performed a very high-energy song but stood in place the entire time and were only allowed to move their upper body.
Also, Chilam renewing his vows with Anita on stage seemed like an unfair advantage to sway the audience emotionally.
I think the program knows that it’s getting harder to surprise and impress the audience because we’ve already seen a lot last season: bonding between members, nostalgia, wives coming to support their husbands, and so it’s hard to top last season.
Haha 😆
