Taiwan Consensus

Hi, 羅先生，

It has been a long while since we exchanged our 「雲端打嘴鼓」last time. I don’t even

remember when. Sorry!

Thank you very much for your corrections on my 「洋經幫英文」and 「臺式菜英文」. As far as I recalled, it only took me a flash of time to write that RAP without being serious about my grammar, etc. Anyway, I apologize for my ignorance as well as nonsense on English proficiency. Let me share a few examples of both English and a few lines of H3LPs just for fun with you. Once again, your input and comment are always welcome.

洋經邦英文（=洋涇浜英文）

前後流行兩百年

商場交易用盡多

Here are some fun examples:

            Chin-chin(請請，dated back in 1795);   

            Chow-chow(炒炒，1795）；

            Chop-chop(趕快，1834）；

            Can do(能行，1842）；

            No can do(不行/不可以，1842）；

            Allee-samee(=All the same, 都一樣，1840）；

            Long time no see(好久不見，1894）.

臺式菜英文

「聽、講、讀、寫」七十年

還難登大雅之堂（國際水準）

Here are some bad examples:

            “Can you speak English?”(It should be

“Do you speak English?”);

            “Any question?”(Should it be “Any questions?”?);

            “There has a car.”(It should be “There

is a car.”);

            “My friend’s home.”(It should be “House”.);

             “The Sun rises from the west.”(Should it be “in” the west?).

Nevertheless, here is my desperate call/yell/plea for all Taiwanese on the earth to polish their English proficiency in promoting/elevating/jumbling Taiwan onto global stage with democracy, freedom and human rights.

臺灣上國際

全民英文愛加強

推民主、自由、人權

臺灣人加油

向國際點亮臺灣

天祐 臺灣！
