      • "Am I not disturbing you" 就是中文“我没有打扰你吧”。我不认为英语中有这种说法。 -**🎸; 2022-8-21 (#14763687@0)

          • 这句话经常有碰到说 -giss(rr); 2022-8-21 (#14763713@0)
          • 语法上没错，就是 doesn't make sense. 中文说：“你在工作吗？我没有打扰你吧？” 硬译就那样 -**🎸; 2022-8-21 (#14763721@0)
        • 这个确实有点Chenglish。 -**🏝; 2022-8-21 (#14763705@0)
      • 没觉得有什么问题呀。 -tracyd(等待明天); 2022-8-21 (#14763692@0)
        • 语法上是没什么问题。但那些话不像是加拿大长大的人说的。 -**🎸; 2022-8-21 (#14763704@0)
          • 你这是当妈的吧？儿子自己不能和她多聊聊么？怕啥？又不能把他给吃了？ -tracyd(等待明天); 2022-8-21 (#14763708@0) +1
          • 语法也有问题啊。went shopping after get off work today。after 后面getting 才对。 -veronicacan(vCoder); 2022-8-21 (#14763760@0) +3
      • 中式英语很明显 -veronicacan(vCoder); 2022-8-21 {229} (#14763697@0) +4

        随便举个例，Ingredients就很怪。还有Are you working now? Am I not disturbing you?明显是中文翻的。“你在上班吗？没有打扰到你吧？” 但英文表达按逻辑应该是是“你在上班吗？我打扰到你了吗？”而且，用interrupting 也比disturbing 合适。
      • 从英文看，有点像杀猪盘。现在的杀猪盘还得懂英语啊。也不容易。 -14feb(一叶入秋); 2022-8-21 (#14763720@0) +7

        • 杀猪盘,无处不在。 -southerner(安省中年男); 2022-8-21 (#14764062@0) +1
      • 第二句，很明显地，我也看懂，这个不是美式英语的讲法。这里的人习惯说“bother you”,不会说“disturbing you”. -starxing(星 💫 之愿); 2022-8-27 (#14775843@0) +3

        • 我上面列出来的几条，都不是语法问题。更像是在中国学的英语，或者是软件从中文翻的。 -**🎸; 2022-8-21 (#14763678@0)

              • 口语就是little brother吧。当然正式说法是younger brother。 -**🏝; 2022-8-21 (#14763709@0) +1
                • I don't think so. -**🎸; 2022-8-21 (#14763730@0)
                  • 真服了你这当妈的，杀猪盘基本上都是见光死的。只要你儿子不给钱，能骗到他什么呢？见一个面，聊一聊，顶多浪费点饭钱。 -tracyd(等待明天); 2022-8-21 (#14763753@0) +1
                    • We are just talking about English. -**🎸; 2022-8-21 (#14763756@0)

    • 100%骗子。和领英，What's app上面的骗子一模一样，拿着同一套模板到处行骗。 -shaoxing(绍兴师爷); 2022-8-21 {247} (#14763759@0) +5
      以前有几个类似的冒充什么在港医美的女老板在领英加我，第一句话几乎都是差不多，什么Am I distrubing you? I am on a business trip to Toronto or whatever place they think you are. I am not using LinkedIn very much, may I have your Wechat/Whats#, all BS.

    • 我的看法，本地人在网上闲聊，未必在语法上会非常留意，经常会漏掉一些无关紧要的字词。但是词的意义不会搞错。比如 little brother, ingredients, lovers, normal之类的。 -**🎸; 2022-8-21 (#14763790@0) +1
    • 问一下 Western 大学里的情况，是不是骗子，会不会立竿见影？ -starrystarrynight(StarryNight); 2022-8-27 (#14775866@0)
