真係扭計成日冇心機
Siu Wing's always kicking up a fuss about studying, he never has any motivation.

Lit. Siu Wing really unwilling-to-do-work, all-day also no-heart study things.

(This is a good example of a phrase that's really tricky to translate directly.)
This sentence is in Cantonese, not Mandarin/Standard written Chinese.

  Level: 3
小榮真係扭計,成日都冇心機學嘢
