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.
