In previous post, I introduced Chinese ex<\/em>pression \u6015\u4ec0\u4e48\uff0c \u6765\u4ec0\u4e48. In this post, you’ll meet a very similar phrase: \u8981\u4ec0\u4e48\uff0c\u6ca1\u4ec0\u4e48 yào shénme\uff0c méishénme. See if you can guess out the meaning of this phrase now?<\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, \u8981\u4ec0\u4e48\uff0c\u6ca1\u4ec0\u4e48 yào shénme\uff0c méishénme is a good des<\/em>cription for another popular internet slang: \u5c4c\u4e1d di\u01ceos\u012b. We can have a look at \u5c4c\u4e1d di\u01ceos\u012b first.<\/p>\n

Maybe most of you already know the popular slang \u5c4c\u4e1d di\u01ceos\u012b was invented last year on the Internet and spread across the net at a amazing speed as fast as a virus. I don’t know how many Chinese dictio<\/em>nary apps were prepared for this, at least the Chinese input app on my playbook still can’t find character \u5c4c di\u01ceo since it’s rather remote. In the picture on right, that exact word appeared in Times Square in New York on an ad bulletin.<\/p>\n

In essence, \u5c4c\u4e1d di\u01ceos\u012b refers to people that “Unlike their upper-class contemporaries, they lack influential families, useful social networks for their careers, and most im<\/em>portantly, suitable women to marry\u3002” Do you know that you can use another Chinese ex<\/em>pression to describe the situation of \u5c4c\u4e1d di\u01ceos\u012b?<\/p>\n

If we say, \u4ed6\u8981\u4ec0\u4e48\uff0c\u6ca1\u4ec0\u4e48 t\u0101 yào shénme\uff0c méishénme\u3002That means he has nothing presentable. If it is used in a matchmaker’s talk, this sentence can be translated this way, “He has no advantage at all to impress a girl.”<\/p>\n

If it is discussed in job hunting, then it can be interpreted as “He has nothing strong enough to meet the job requirement.”<\/p>\n

Now I’ll show you two examples,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    t\u0101 yào shénme\uff0c méishénme, z\u011bnme qù hé biéren jìngzh\u0113ng?<\/p>\n

    \u4ed6\u8981\u4ec0\u4e48\uff0c\u6ca1\u4ec0\u4e48, \u600e\u4e48\u53bb\u548c\u522b\u4eba\u7ade\u4e89?<\/p>\n

    He’s not good at anything, how could he compete with the others?<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    t\u0101 rènwéi lái miànshì de nàgèrén yào shénme, méishénme, g\u0113nb\u011bn bùhé tiáojiàn.<\/p>\n

    \u4ed6\u8ba4\u4e3a\u6765\u9762\u8bd5\u7684\u90a3\u4e2a\u4eba\u8981\u4ec0\u4e48, \u6ca1\u4ec0\u4e48, \u6839\u672c\u4e0d\u5408\u6761\u4ef6.<\/p>\n

    He thought the interviewee had nothing to offer, didn’t meet the basic requirement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now it’s practice time. Please try to use both \u8981\u4ec0\u4e48\uff0c\u6ca1\u4ec0\u4e48 yào shénme\uff0c méishénme and \u5c4c\u4e1d di\u01ceos\u012b to make some sentences.
