每次吃中餐，都要搞到几个幸运果子，歪瓜裂枣的，里面还要给人安民告示。都是中国人还好，谁都知道这是一骗孩子的把戏，茶余饭后添一乐子而已，也让大家义务回想一下这汉语该是个嘛意思。但遇到有三两老外，尤其是大妈级的，你就麻烦大了，得花点儿功夫给人解释解释。我注意到的一个现象是，在国内吃饭就没这一出，一到国外，这怎么就成了中国文化了？中国有这文化么？更搞笑的，别的城市大都是一个英语版本就完了，渥村地处首都，政治要正确，英语法语得俩版本，正面反面都印上。

自从上周过年被幸运了一个“ dynamic eyes”以后，我上网一钩，好嘛，这果子加句子还成了一产业。网上有叫卖这果子里的句子的，叫预言，叫信息，叫座右铭，叫段子，都可以，反正就是这么个文化产业的意思。随便钩出几段，给义务翻译回汉语，说不定我一天能给整出三两百条，弄个副业也未可知。
