Re: One English Question.... ? Pl help

I know the answer now:

Spotty dog = dogs with spots
Dotty dog = mad dogs!!

Quite unexpected. But it says so in the dictionary.

我用 sworn mother / sworn daughter.

godmother都得, 不過多數指religion既教母, 因為外國只得godmother, 都係半個呀媽既角色, 等同我地既契媽.

Re: One English Question.... ? Pl help

hi, Teresa,

Can you explain more about the 'sworn' term? I saw from the dictionary that it means 'totally'.
Many thanks.

Re: One English Question.... ? Pl help

Sworn 由兩個意思：
(1）是個adjective, 意思是 Totally
(2) 是個 verb, Swear 的過去分詞 , swear的其中一個意思是 “宣誓”

在sworn daughter, sworn mother 的 "sworn"，我用的是（2）。在外國的文化裏，沒有“契媽”“契爺”這些稱呼，最接近的意思就是他們在宗教上的godfather / godmother。

用swear一字，取其意思“宣誓”=上契，而英語用法中，把swear (v.) 一字modified 一個名詞時，就要把它轉做過去分詞（past participle ），所以變成了sworn mother。
