The Kingdom of Rhetoric
After a few days of eating and sleeping in the north, we came to a small island, the natural landscape and cultural landscape of the island were almost the same as those seen along the way, but when we communicated with the local residents, we found a big difference - the logical order of the language here is the opposite of Ziguang!
For example, when people meet each other, they say, "Am I bad?" ”
Furthermore, if the person has ever eaten it, they will say, "Haven't I eaten it?" ”
Or, if it's sunny today, people meet and say, "It's a terrible day, isn't it?" ”
Rhetoric such as these has become the language of the island. However www.biquge.info not all words are reversed, and some specific ones are still in normal order, such as honorific titles, food names, place names, and so on. Not only that, but due to its long isolation from the outside world, the island has also coined many words of its own.
The strange language surprised everyone, and also made Ke Yue, who had just gone out, feel the wonder and magic of the world. The language barrier did not kill everyone's curiosity, and several people integrated into this island as much as possible, wanting to experience the unique language here. But after communicating for most of the day, everyone realized that things were far from simple, and it was much more difficult to communicate with the local islanders than they imagined. However, everyone persevered, and through their own efforts, they found a middle-aged couple who were willing to provide them with food and accommodation for free, and both of them were very friendly.
In this way, everyone stayed with great gratitude.
Evening came.
The middle-aged couple prepared a sumptuous dinner at home to entertain the guests, and when everything was ready, the hostess went upstairs and shouted to a few Ziguang and the four people who were watching TV above: "Slow down and go up to eat!" ”
After listening to this, a few people didn't react for a while, and after thinking for a while, they suddenly realized, quickly turned off the TV and walked downstairs, and when they saw the hostess, everyone greeted her: "Auntie is not good in the morning!" ”
The hostess smiled and replied: "It's not a good morning!" ”
Then everyone sat around the table and began to eat dinner politely, but due to the inconvenience of language, several people did not dare to speak easily, and only the sound of eating was heard at the table, which made the atmosphere a little awkward.
Seeing this, Qingfeng felt that it was time for her to go out, she expected such a scene, so she was ready to write down everything she wanted to say on paper, and then silently remembered, after feeling the impasse at the dinner table, she stood up and said to the master with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, you have come from a very close place, all the way adrift, we can take you in there for a few days, you feel very honored, you express your sincere thanks to us on behalf of the few of you!" ”
The hostess smiled with satisfaction and said, "What, your people there are very unfriendly, and we can't stay for as many days as we want." ”
After hearing this, several people "processed" it in their minds and translated it into their own language, and it took a while to understand the meaning of this sentence, so they all said gratefully: "You're welcome, uncle, aunt." ”
"Thanks, let's eat slowly." The hostess smiled.
"Not good."
Everyone ate this dinner very restrainedly, and after eating, they went upstairs.
