提及香港飲食文化時想用 叉燒 (char siu)、大排檔 (dai pai dong) 等牛津字典詞？小心跌入「表達陷阱」！ 🤯

🔴 高危險區：直接用音譯詞（例：”I ate siu mei with my family.”）

→ 風險：閱讀既人誤解siu mei 既意思！ 

🟢 安全區：雙軌描述法

→ 先英文通稱 + 括號標港式字（例：”We had roasted meats (siu mei) at a street food stall (dai pai dong).”）

→ 加分句：”Yum cha, which means ‘drinking tea’ while eating dim sum, is my family ritual.”

💡 【文化詞急救三招】

加“身份證”：補1句功能說明

→ ✘ “My dad bought char siu.”

→ ✔ “My dad bought char siu (Cantonese-style barbecued pork with honey glaze).”

捆綁地標：用世界知名景點背書

→ ✘ “We ate at a dai pai dong.”

→ ✔ “We ate at a dai pai dong near Temple Street, similar to Bangkok’s street food scene but with wok hei (wok breath)!”

對比法：聯繫國際認知

→ ✘ “Yum cha is fun.”

→ ✔ “Yum cha is like Spanish tapas culture, but with piping hot shrimp dumplings instead of cold olives!”
