April 29, 2008 at 12:11 PMlight: the "it" in that sentence is a dummy pronoun or a pronoun not reffering to an agent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_pronoun an example is McDonald's motto: I'm lovin' it. ( 我就喜歡) A good Chinese transliteration of You'll love it or hate it is： 你就愛或者恨。 If there's a better transliteration..pls. do post.:)

April 27, 2008 at 3:19 PMauntie68: Sorry, for the late reply.:) It's cool that the book gives reference to the best Chinese tycoons in the country! :) I'm just wondering though how Cantonese people migrate here. I mean, 廣東人在菲律賓很 rare.... :) I've also found out that the first Chinese migrants here have changed their last names to prevent discrimination from the Spaniards back then. My dad's last name is supposed to be just陳 (chan) but he has to Minnannize it to Tan and add a Jemina at the end. I don't even know why I was given a 王 as a last name. Possibly because of my 媽媽。 我父母沒嫁給啦。 :D
