Too young to drive Ferrari !
I have just received not one, but 2 Christmas greeting cards(showing new car) from the same person. I find it very odd because this guy, whom I have known for years, has never sent me any greeting cards.He had acquired another new Ferrari , and I think he wanted me to know.I find it very amusing,after all “Merry Christmas” has religious connotations.
Usually the DIY cards will have family portraits, or illustrations and imagery relating to Christmas,religious sayings, or some sincere wishes for a happy holiday to those you care about.
A few thoughts came to my mind:
Do not send photos of Ferrari, it has no meaning.Are you giving me one for Christmas? A friendly call would suffice for any holiday greetings.There is no need to show off during this holiday.
Stop showing me watches, jewellery, up grading to bigger houses, getting new cars, visiting new restaurant, buying more stuff….It is very boring.
Usually these are people who crave attention, instead, go read a book, learn a new language and love a small animal for a change.In the five worded sentence with the card sent over email, he only asked me test drive his new car.I have driven these cars before, some twenty years ago.No thank you.
Last year, I had sent my 4x4 for oil change ( half an hour job), in the workshop I called him.Just a friendly call to say hi, he said he got a twin turbo Bentley sport, want to test drive?I said why not , he said he would be right over.More than four hours later, I assumed that he probably got tied up with work or just forgot the matter.My car was ready and I was hungry, so I left.I got a phone call from him,sounded irritated that I was not at the workshop waiting for him and the Bentley sport.Well too bad… I usually do not wait more than three hours for any inconsiderate people (not an isolated incident).Did I mention I was hungry too.
I remember these people would not hesitate to bang on my door in the middle of the night if they need me. But when they don’t need me, I am just another persona non grata to them.
I have no time to waste and am impatient with such people, woe is me.
Do I tell people they are on my Shit List? Well, not in so many words, but each of these guys know why I refuse to have anything to do with them.That includes me coming out of retirement and working for these assholes.
I asked my wife if I should buy a Ferrari too. Why ? Are you having a mid life crisis? You are too young to have a Ferrari !! Maybe when you are in 80's...….
Wise woman my wife. :lol

小弟觀看全文后，認為「樓主」應該理解錯了too 的文法之用法！ …...
All hail the grammar police! Too young to drive Ferrari!
正譯：太年輕而不去駕駛法拉利
而我猜測你想表達：太年輕而去駕駛法拉利
當我認為你思考用字無錯時，但從最后一段內容裡，你跟老婆對話中，又覺得你是誤解了too 的用法。
[ 本帖最后由 七星北斗 于 2014-5-11 16:46 编辑 ] 文法一点点錯而不影響意思表示，没大问题，故可接受。
但理解錯too 的用法，而把意思表示变成相反概念，就会让讀者完全误会筆者意思，就变成大问题了。这种錯是不容许，你说对不？ :lol :lol :lol
