Hong Kong Code-mixing Dictionary

Definition: 許多香港人的廣東話是直接由英文翻譯過來，譬如Bearing，Barrack。平時口語叫「啤1令2」及「1巴1叻」(讀力第1聲)，比起說「輪軸」及「儲物房」在交流上更加方便易明。(Many Hong Kongers translate Cantonese directly from English, such as Bearing and Barrack. Said as "啤1令2" and "1巴1叻" (pronounced 1st tone), it is more convenient and understandable than saying "wheel shaft" and "storage room".)

Usage: 車輪啤令鬆脫，電動車在行車時發出了雜聲 (The wheel bearing came loose, causing the electric vehicle to make abnormal noises while driving.)

Synonym: 啤令，巴叻; 士巴拿spanner
