稱呼Addressing People
您能不能幫我堂弟介紹一位英文老師。
Could you introduce me an English teacher for my cousin?
好的。 堂弟跟您有什麼樣的親屬關係呢？
Sure, what kind of relative is Tongdi to you?
他是我叔叔的兒子，比我小兩歲。
He’s my uncle ‘s son on my father’s side. He is two years younger than I.
阿姨的女兒您怎麼稱呼呢？
What is Ayi’s daughters called?
比我大的叫表姐，比我小的叫表妹。
Those older than I are called biaojie and those younger than I called biaomei.
華人的親屬稱呼真是複雜。
Chinese addressing terms for family members and relatives are very complex.
沒錯，如果我不說明，你一定搞不清楚。
That’s true if I didn’t explain them to you, you could mix up.
親戚給你們家常來往嗎？
Do your relatives and family often keep in touch?
是的，只要是過年過節，我們一定團聚在一起。Yes, Every Chinese New Year’s we all gather together.
