小人當道When the wicked are in authority
眾生相 A picture of different kinds of people
攞苦來辛 to take fruitless pains
不詳徵兆the canary in the coal mine
不可理諭refuse to listen to reason
單單打打to make snide remarks/ comments
容後奉覆will get back to you
無中不能生有out of nothing comes nothing
殺人放火金腰帶 修橋補路沒屍骸
While the wicked hold prestigious offices, the good and virtuous die miserably
Little thieves are hanged, but great ones escape
We hang little thieves and take off our hats to great ones
Poor thieves in halters we behold; / And great thieves in their chains of gold
Laws catch files and let hornets go free
疲憊不堪got dead tired
狗兒安樂窩a canine haven
我知道自己在做什麼 I know very well what I am doing
我不了解他I don’t know or understand him
我感到很厭惡I am sickened
新年賀詞 Wish you all a happy New year and good health and great wealth in 2022

My profound desire is retirement, and nothing has prevented or will prevent my giving effect to that desire, unless there should appear to be something in which there may be a prospect of my doing what could not be as well done without me. William Gladstone
