笑詼的台灣話

笑詼的台灣話

1) 財子壽,難得求 It is hardly achievable for one to be wealthy, to have sons, and to have a long life span. (台語押韻)

2) 掩人的嘴袜密 
指人的嘴遮掩不住,也就是容易洩露祕密的意思,也有『人言可畏』之意 (People will talk)

3) 用指頭仔作門拴 用自己手指頭當作門閂來鎖門(比喻犧牲自己,為別人承受困苦與折磨) sacrificing oneself to prevent hardships and torture from inflicting on others (a metaphor 一種暗喻)

10) 有則還,無則延 () 欠人財物時,有就立即還,沒有時要答應償還時間日期,不可無故拖延。If you are able to pay off a debt, do it now. If you are unable now, set a date to do so. Do not procrastinate without setting a date for returning.

11) 賊無情、婊無義 Both thieves and whores are ungrateful, doing nothing in return

12) 人若衰,種匏仔生菜瓜 
種匏仔是不可能生出菜瓜來的,乃比喻人的運氣不佳,意思是明明看準了,做下去還是未能如願! When one is down in luck, what he produces will be less productive than he expects.
