|
drag sb into trouble along with oneself; tie down by or encumber with each another; bring burden and inconvenience to one another; get one another into trouble [lit] Ah Laan marries Ah Seoi This is the first part of a 歇後語 which has 大家累鬥累 as the second part. This is one of the very few 歇後語 that gets its second part from phonetic wordplay rather than the usual semantic meaning. By means of 反切 (a traditional method of phonetic notation), 阿蘭嫁阿瑞 = 蘭加瑞 = laan + seoi = leoi = 累.
