因為唔知底細，所以暫時叫佢紅鬼 粵
Since we don't have much information, we're calling him "red ghost" for now. [Lit. because not-know exact-details, therefore temporarily call him red ghost. ("Red Ghost" here is a codename for a criminal. If his name had already been mentioned we could have 因為唔知底細所以暫時噉叫佢.)]
佢郁啲撞火﹐撞親火就面都紅晒。 粵
His face flares red whenever he gets cross, which happens quite often. [Cantonese language often prefers 'simple' repetition (撞火) to 'unnatural' conjunction (such as 每當) for the sense of "whenever".] |
