more fun with cellphone couplets, this time about the skills of the modern woman:
现代女性“十项全能”：上得了厅堂，下得了厨房；写得了代码，查得出异常；杀得了木马，翻得了围墙；开得起好车，买得起新房；斗得过二奶，打得过流氓。
The Modern Woman’s “Ten abilities”: She can entertain guests and cook up a storm; she can write a computer program and ferret out irregularities; she can kill viral Trojan horses and scamper over the firewall; she can drive a good car and buy a new house; she can take on a second wife and defeat a hooligan.
a 21st century “I can bring home the bacon…?”
Yup. And dare I add? “with Chinese characteristics”.
Nice! But isn’t the first one more like “equally at home in the banquet hall and the kitchen” — linking to your other post about the skill with relationships, it shows she’s really the master in both environments (and the one who gets things done). No more public/private split, she literally DOES bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan.
