昨天,大晚上的,我正吭哧吭哧挥汗如雨地改合同写邮件。快刀突然冒上来对我说,“我在打网游,你在干嘛呢?”
我说:“没事。”
快刀太了解我了,说“你忙吧,改天聊。我没什么事,就是问你个好。”
然后顿了顿,他又说了一句:“再问老公们好!”
我先是一诧异,随即大笑起来,“哎哟喂~侬真是贴心喏~——借你吉言!”
快刀含笑款款下线了。
过一会儿,小辉又冒上来对我说,“你这么晚在干吗呢?赶紧写blog!我天天一睁眼就来你这等,着急死我了。”
我翻翻白眼说:“那你这不是瞎着急吗?我今天写的是英文。”
小辉恨恨地说,“你就气我吧你。”
在他翻身要下线的时候,问了我一句:“哎,你感冒怎么样了?”
我受宠若惊地说:“好多了好多了。。。谢谢关心。”
他满不在乎地摆摆手,说:“喔,你别太当真,我这也就是随便问问。”
。。。。。真是——太讨厌啦!这帮人。。。
The Deep Meaning of "Hmmm"
These days I have been ill, and Jose knew about it.
So he came to me and asked, "How do you feel today, Yuan?"
I said, "Hmmm."
Then he asked me again, "Did you take a nap this afternoon?"
I said, "Hmmm."
After a while, he asked, "Did you eat regularlly today?"
I said, "Hmmm."
"The right time? The right amout? The right quantity?"
"Hmmm."
"Do you feel better?"
"Hmmm."
Suddenly, Jose laughed, "You know what, Yuan, you kept telling me that Chinese is the most difficult language you can grasp. But I believe it is the easiest one."
I lifted my eyes, wondering.
Jose said, "At least, I can be like you, and say only one word but mean all of them——Hmmm."
"Hahaha." I burst into laughter.
But Jose continued with it, "You see. When I asked you how do you feel, you said hmmm; when I asked are you feeling Ok, you said hmmm; are you feeling tired, hmmm; are you feeling ill, hmmm; are you feeling better, hmmm. Do you have a fever, hmmm. did you eat well, hmmm. three meals today? hmmm, have you taken good care of yourself, hmmm…"
Jose kept saying and I kept laughing.
"But may I ask you, Miss Guo, what the fuck is the meaning of hmmm?" Jose asked.
And at the same time, we both said, "Hmmm."
Hmmm…
