全球兒童青少年粵文徵文 Global Cantonese Writing Initiative for Youth 15-18歲 / 15-18 year-old 亞軍 / Runner-up 《嗰次，我先真正睇透妳》 作者 / Author : 何枼茈 地區 / Region : 廣東-珠海 Zhuhai, Guangdong 嗰日熱頭曬到㷫烚烚，好多人都掗喺成績榜前面。我揸住張巢掹掹嘅成績單，喺人堆度逼到成頭汗，目光突然間落喺榜單頭三十個名度，好似有粒石仔，喺我心入面漾開咗圈圈漣漪⋯⋯我睇到妳個名。 小學嗰陣嘅妳，喺我眼入邊就係「差生」嘅版。上堂鐘一響，妳就趴喺檯面，老師嗌咗妳個名半日，妳先混混噩噩趷高個頭。身為女仔人家，落咗堂仲同班男仔追追逐逐，功課簿上永遠都係寫到歪歪斜斜嘅字跡…… 有日上緊堂，我坐喺妳斜後面，親眼睇住妳將本課本棟喺檯面，而另一隻手喺櫃桶度熟手噉揭住本好厚嘅書，一時偷笑，一時皺眉頭。我心諗：「噉都得？！上堂睇埋啲無謂書，唔怪之得成績咁差！」 忽然班主任吳先生企喺妳面前，冷冰冰講咗句：「攞上嚟。」 妳唯有死死地氣噉遞本書出去。我仲喺心入面暗爽：今次抵妳死啦，睇妳知衰未！ 又一堂自修堂，我睇到妳又攞一本書出嚟睇。當我認爲妳越嚟越囂張嗰陣，我竟然睇到妳揸住支筆喺本書度唔知寫緊啲咩，我睇真啲，先發現嗰本居然係本奧數練習！妳諗咗一陣就喺紙上飛速噉演算起嚟。 落咗自修堂，我猶疑咗好耐，先敢掂下妳膊頭，細聲問：「可唔可以借妳嗰本練習畀我睇吓？」 妳愕一愕，然後就好爽手噉遞過嚟。 我揭開一睇，估唔到妳經已寫滿咗大半，每一頁都有詳細嘅解題步驟，有好多題都係先生冇講過嘅。我心入面某個角落，好似俾嘢觸動咗。原來我從來冇睇透過妳。 望住成績榜上面妳個名，又望吓畀人圍住嘅妳，再睇吓妳成績單上嘅分數...... 風輕輕吹過，將成績榜嘅邊角吹到索索聲，我笑住擰吓個頭。原來真正嘅睇透，從來都唔係停留喺表面，而係要用心去睇。 ------ 💬 評審謝傲霜評語 💬 Comments from Judge Stella Tse @hopology.hk 有本好出名嘅文學名著，叫做《傲慢與偏見》，故仔講男女主角因為自身嘅背景，形成對對方嘅偏見，繼而透過相處與一連串發生嘅事，先真正認識對方，並且成為轟烈嘅愛情故事。呢篇短短嘅文章，其實都有相似嘅意涵呢！我哋以為認識一個人、以為自己明白，就對一個人落咗判斷，但往往再加深了解後，發現只不過係自己先入為主嘅誤解。此外，篇文運用粵語嘅方式亦十分傳神有趣，例如「嗰日熱頭曬到㷫烚烚」、「混混噩噩趷高個頭」、「將成績榜嘅邊角吹到索索聲」，呈現咗粵語運用點樣令描寫更傳神！

全球兒童青少年粵文徵文 Global Cantonese Writing Initiative for Youth 10-14歲 / 10-14 year-old 冠軍 / Winner <<一秒鐘>> 作者 / Author : Caterina Chiu Paone 地區 / Region : Ireland 學校 / School : Ballygiblin National School 呢一秒鐘，喺呢個世界， 有一個蘇蝦仔， 佢啱啱出世，仲未知道點解佢喺度。 佢捽下對眼，哇哇大喊。 呢一秒鐘，喺呢個世界， 有一個細蚊仔， 佢啱啱講咗佢人生第一個字。 呢一秒鐘，喺呢個世界， 有一個細路仔， 佢啱啱踏出佢人生第一步。 呢一秒鐘，喺呢個世界， 有一個小朋友， 佢第一日返學。 孭住個獨角獸書包， 佢擰轉頭，笑住同媽咪講再見。 呢一秒鐘，喺呢個世界， 有一個女仔， 佢拎住把鉸剪，對住塊鏡， 一剪剪晒佢自己啲頭髮。 呢一秒鐘，喺呢個世界， 有一個少女， 坐喺牙醫診所， 等緊護士叫佢個名，佢要箍牙。 呢一秒鐘，喺呢個世界， 有一個學生，坐喺巴士度， 左搖右擺瞓著咗。 佢琴晚通頂讀書。 呢一秒鐘，喺呢個世界， 有一個大學生， 佢啱啱除咗佢件畢業袍同埋頂四方帽， 佢唔知道前面有咩嘢等緊佢。 一秒鐘， 變成一分鐘、一個鐘、 一日、一個月、一年、 一生 。 ------ 💬 評審謝傲霜評語 💬 Comments from Judge Stella Tse @hopology.hk 呢首詩用咗唔同嘅「一秒鐘」片段，嚟呈現主角由嬰孩到大學畢業嘅「十多年人生」，讀起嚟好有畫面，感覺似電影中嘅「蒙太奇」手法——一種將多個短鏡頭重新剪輯組合嘅藝術手法。透過剪接唔同嘅人生碎片，令人窺見首中主角嘅人生，有好多獨特嘅里程碑，亦有愛佢嘅人圍繞係佢身邊，直至佢可以獨立，面對將來未知嘅人生。

全球兒童青少年粵文徵文 Global Cantonese Writing Initiative for Youth 5–9歲 / 5-9 year-old 亞軍 / Runner-Up 《粉紅色水壺跟媽媽嘅生活》 作者 / Author︰Lara Morris 地區 / Region︰倫敦 / London 學校 / School︰@butehousepreparatoryschool 語言學校 / Language School : @r.s.cantonese 喺澳洲嘅夏天，一個粉紅色水壺好口渴。佢一歲就冇咗爸爸。爸爸本來係藍色水壺，但因為從來唔沖涼，發哂霉又有好多菌，最後死咗。 佢同黃色水壺媽媽一齊生活。媽媽要照顧水壺BB，所以冇返工。媽媽買好多嘢飲俾佢，例如水、果汁、牛奶同朱古力奶。 有一日，粉紅色水壺去紅色水壺朋友屋企玩，帶咗棋同卡牌。佢哋飲湯，又去草地玩捉迷藏。之後，大家去紅色水壺生日會，玩遊戲、送禮物同吹泡泡。 佢每日返學，老師都俾好多功課。好彩媽媽好有耐性，教佢做功課，佢唔識十二乘十二，媽媽就擺一百四十四件玩具俾佢數。 幾年後，有啲大水壺開始偷人哋嘅水。太陽太熱，吸乾晒所有水。後來天空落雨，大家先有返水。最後，大水壺知道偷水會傷害到細水壺，就俾返啲水佢哋。佢哋做咗朋友，明白要分享同埋互相幫忙。 ------ 💬 評審黎智豐博士評語 💬 Comments from Judge @drhugolaiii 作品充滿童趣，想像力亦相當豐富，仲建立咗一個有自己規則嘅水壺世界。擬人化雖然常見，但作者唔只係將水壺當成人寫，仲真係代入角色，由飲水、返學、家庭生活到缺水危機，都發展出自己一套連貫邏輯。情節天馬行空，同時保留住兒童視角嘅真誠同幽默。

全球兒童青少年粵文徵文 Global Cantonese Writing Initiative for Youth 15–18歲 / 15-18 year-old 亞軍 / Runner-Up 我嘅兒時夢想係做一位作家 作者 / Author︰Emily Lee Tsoi Yi 地區 / Region︰香港 / Hong Kong 學校 / School︰@thechineseuniversityofhongkong 阿媽：「你記唔記得你細個想做一個作家呀？」 好朋友：「哈？點解我唔知你想做作家嘅？」 我：「因為有啲不設實際，哈哈。」 我細個好鍾意作故仔，亦都好鍾意整啲遊戲同其他小朋友一齊玩，阿嫲更話我係個整古做怪嘅小朋友。我亦都好鍾意睇褔爾摩斯、老夫子，睇睇下就想自己試下天馬行空咁寫故仔，所以我試過寫一本書仔。 筆記簿嘅頭幾頁寫滿咗大大粒、向左傾斜嘅中文字，文字中有啲用水筆綑咗邊、用木顏色油嘅插畫。掀後幾頁，就會感受到三分鐘嘅熱度。宜家本書仲喺櫃桶入面，就好似我呢個作家夢，一齊放咗入去儲物櫃，成為兒時嘅一個回憶。 因為理性，所以放棄呢個作家夢。 我嘅讀書成績一般，中文作文更係我嘅死亡之卷。有一次班主任喺家長日度提起我作文有詞不達意呢個問題，之後每次一知道班主任係教中文，阿媽就會玩玩下咁問老師：「請問佢宜家作文仲有冇詞不達意呢個問題呀？」慢慢咁，望住一張張嘅成績表，我發現無論我手上支鉛筆刨得有幾尖、我腦入面嘅想法有幾大膽都好，我所識嘅詞彙都係無辦法承載我嘅故事，進步空間太大啦。小學唔興派範文，到中學嘅時候先見到同學嘅佳作，原來啲同學個個文筆都好好，自己仲一直停留喺小學生嘅程度。 喺嗰個時候，我先發現自己不自量力。 好多人當作家係一個副職，呢幾年更係見到附近嘅書局一間間執笠。細個每次去大眾書局最鍾意就係戴住耳機聽歌、去睇新文具新玩具，嗰陣時每次喺書海入面搵返阿媽嘅時候，總係見到好多人喺度打書釘，原本廣闊嘅書廊淨返一條小路比人行。 中小學都好興用閱讀卡嚟鼓勵學生睇多啲書，甚至用嚟做升精英班嘅其中一個準則。記得每次臨近截止日期嘅時候，啲同學好興三五成群去抄書名，我問佢哋先知道原來佢哋平時無睇書嘅習慣。 現今世代，小朋友一扭計，好多時家長奶嘴都唔使用，直接出動電話。但係我始終相信，書仲係有佢存在嘅價值，之前第一次去首爾旅行，見到佢哋地鐵站竟然有書店，我相信香港都可以，但係就要睇下我哋點樣培育下一代。 ------ 💬 評審黎奕葆博士評語 💬 Comments from Judge Dr. Yik Po Lai 作品以幾段回憶，寫出自己作家夢嘅開端同挫折，並由個人經歷延伸到對香港閱讀文化轉變嘅觀察。作品寫實、真誠、唔造作，情感抒發拿捏得宜，唔會太過沉重。作者對生活細節觀察敏銳，書店打書釘嘅人、同學為閱讀卡而抄書名等描寫，頗有畫面感。作品最後仍然相信香港可以培育出鍾意睇書嘅下一代，為文章留下希望同反思。

Does 繃不住 (pang⁵⁵ pat⁵ tsyu²²) sound weird if you read it in Cantonese? 用廣府話照讀「繃不住」（pang⁵⁵ pat⁵ tsyu²²）會很難聽嗎？ What do you think? Leave a comment and let’s discuss. Personally, I would say "頂唔順" (ting³⁵ m²¹ seon²²), or "忍唔住" (jan³⁵ m²¹ tsyu²²). 閣下有甚麼看法呢？請大家留言討論。我個人認爲要講「頂唔順」（ting³⁵ m²¹ seon²²）、「忍唔住」（jan³⁵ m²¹ tsyu²²）。 "unable to bear" in Cantonese 「繃不住」廣府話怎麼說？ 繃不住 (pang⁵⁵ pat⁵ tsyu²²) × 頂唔順 (ting³⁵ m²¹ seon²²) ✓ 忍唔住 (jan³⁵ m²¹ tsyu²²) ✓ "Profanity" is called "臭話" (tshau³³ waa²²) in Malaysin Cantonese, which is directly translated as "smelly speech". Hong Kong people refer to it as "粗口" (tshou⁵⁵ hau³⁵). 馬來西亞廣府話「臭話」（tshau³³ waa²²)）就是香港廣府話「粗口」（tshou⁵⁵ hau³⁵）。 #繃不住 #頂唔順 #Cantonese #潮語 #buzzword
