眼|eYE

每人的眼晴也能看到不同的東西,即使是同一樣的東西或從不同的角度,就如價值觀一樣。
Everyone’s eyes can see differently, even with the same thing or from different angles, just like values.

若然沒有「絕對」,那又何需「既定」?
If there’s no “absolute”, why should be “fixed” then?

廣東話(粵語)|cANTONESE (yUE)

香港人說粵語家族中的廣東話。
Hongkongers speak Cantonese which is a dialect of *Yue Family.

長話短說,說廣東話和國語,就如說「標準德文」和「瑞士德文」一樣,只是廣東話和國語是獨立,屬於完全不同的語言家族的。及,廣東話不是國語的方言,而是粵語的方言。因此,香港的中文有標準中文(學校教授,主要書寫)和廣東話(生活實用,主要談話)。除非會說廣東話,否則只懂標準中文的話是不能理解廣東話的。
So explain in short, speaking Cantonese and Mandarin, just like speaking “Standard German” and “Swiss German”,but Cantonese and Mandarin are independent, belonging to completely different language families. And Cantonese is not the dialect of Mandarin, but the dialect of Yue. Therefore, Hongkong’s Chinese could be in “Standard Chinese” (School learning, mainly for writing) and “Cantonese” (Living language, mainly for speaking). In this case, “Standard Chinese” user will not be able to understand Hongkongers’ “Cantonese”.

十年兩願望終於合而為一。今天,在下正式「以文會友」。儘管這完全是個個人計劃,然而於這摩登的資訊大熔爐中,一樣米養百樣人,這個個人計劃很有可能會招風雨。故此,如果你們看到有任何不足之處,懇請各位多多包涵並賜教,在下必會虛心學習。
Two wishes in the past 10 years finally merged into one. Today, I officially meet friends “through literatures & arts”. It’s totally a personal project, though, in this modern information melting-pot which takes all minds, this project might cause noises. Therefore, I implore you to forgive and enlighten me if there are any deficiencies, I’m willing to learn.

《論語》的第十二書《顏淵》——第二十四章:
“**The Analects”, Book 12, Chapter 24 (original written in Classical Chinese):

xxx
曾子曰:「君子以[文₁]會[友₂];以友輔[仁₃]。」
***Zengzi said: “Real man makes friends through [lITERATURES and aRTS₁], and develops [hIGH-mINDEDNESS₃] through [fRIENDSHIP₂]”
