笑詼的台灣話

笑詼的台灣話

1) 麻薯手裡搓 有彈性的應付手段 (由手中揉搓出的麻薯，因需要，可大可小)

taking flexible measures to meet the different demand

2) 牽網仔補雨傘無意義或無目的的閑聊  having a bull session

3) 一樣生百樣生出生方式僅一種，死亡却有多種 (諷刺人生命運的不同)

There is only one way for one to be delivered of whereas there are many ways of dying.

4) 久長病就有不孝子 父母久病卧床，兒女就不孝順(這是抱怨話) As long as parents are sick in bed for a long time, they feel no  filial piety coming from children.

5) 嚴官府出厚賊  政府管得愈嚴，盜賊反而愈多

The more serious and more stringent measures the government is taking, but ironically, there will be more law-breaking people.

6) 人牽毋行，鬼牽蹓蹓走 
當迷失時，一個人無法分辨人的好壞。往往不聽好人的勸導，反而輕易相信壞人的話。 

When at a loss, people are more apt to be led by bad guys than by nice people.
