我给一对老人家做gardening,本地人。

老太太经常说goodle(我按发音拼的),没跟她确认过,不过感觉应该等同于good on you。听起来挺有意思的。

评论
还有Ta(不会拼)算俚语么。鬼佬超爱用的。

以前听一个在英国念过书的朋友讲,英国的老师跟他们强调过,千万不能说Ta,就说Thank you或者Cheers。那个老师说Ta是没文化的人说的 。

这不是我说的,是我同学的house mate的英国老师说的。

Ta应该是是从fantastic 简化过来的吧?没什么不好,估计只有澳洲人这么说,所以英国人就觉得很土。

有一次我的同事就在鄙视英国人自以为是,以为会用很复杂的词汇很了不起blah blah,看来澳洲人和英国人直接也有些互相看不起
