點解 ？ why 点解？ Why?

Aisha 係 一 個 好 鍾意 玩 同 做 運動 嘅 女仔 ，佢 最 鍾意 踢波 。 Aisha|is|a|measure word|very|likes|to play|and|to do|sports|possessive particle|girl|she|most|likes|playing soccer Aisha is a girl who really enjoys playing and doing sports, and her favorite is soccer. 對於 足球 ， 佢 有 好多 個 「 點解 」 ： 點解 踢波 冇 三分 波 ？ ||||||||||three points| When it comes to soccer, she has many "whys": Why is there no three-point shot in soccer? 點解 踢波 有 越位 ？ why|playing soccer|has|offside Why is there offside in football? 點解 踢波 唔 准 用 手 ？ why|kick ball|not|allowed|use|hand Why is it not allowed to use hands in football? 點解 足球 個 波 咁 大 嘅 ？ why|soccer|measure word|ball|so|big|question particle Why is the soccer ball so big?

而 佢 最 想 知 嘅 係 ， 點解 嚟 親 足球場 踢波 嘅 都 係 男仔 嘅 ？ but||||||||||football field|||||boys| And what she really wants to know is, why are all the people who come to play football at the field boys? Aisha 好 想 知道 呢啲 問題 嘅 答案 ，所以 開始 周圍 問 人 。 Aisha|very|wants|to know|these|questions|possessive particle|answers|so|started|around|to ask|people Aisha really wants to know the answers to these questions, so she started asking people around.

Aisha 試過 問 朋友 呢 啲 問題 ，不過 佢哋 全部 都 唔識 答 。 Aisha|tried|to ask|friends|these|plural marker|questions|but|they|all|also|don't know|to answer Aisha tried asking her friends these questions, but they all didn't know the answers. Aisha 又 試過 叫 朋友仔 一齊 踢波 ，但係 佢哋 都 拒絕 。 Aisha|again|tried|to call|friends|together|to play soccer|but|they|all|rejected Aisha also tried inviting her friends to play soccer, but they all declined. Aisha 問 佢哋 點解 唔 踢波 ，佢哋 就 話 要 做 功課 同 温書 。 Aisha|asked|they|why|not|play soccer|they|then|said|need to|do|homework|and|review Aisha asked them why they weren't playing football, and they replied that they needed to do homework and revise.

Aisha 嘅 朋友 全部 都 好 勤力 ，每 日 都 温 好 耐 書 。 Aisha|possessive particle|friends|all|all|very|hardworking|every|day|all|study|very|long|books All of Aisha's friends are very diligent, they study for a long time every day. Aisha 問 佢哋 ，點解 要 將 啲 時間 放 晒 落 學業 度 ，不過 佢哋 竟然 全部 都 答 唔 知道 。 Aisha|asked|they|why|need|to put|the|time|to spend|all|into|studies|in|but|they|unexpectedly|all|all|answered|not|know Aisha asked them why they had to put all their time into their studies, but they surprisingly all answered that they didn't know. Aisha 諗 返 起 上次 問 佢哋 問題 ，佢哋 都 唔 識 答 。 Aisha|thought|back|to|last time|asked|they|question|they|all|not|know|answer Aisha recalled the last time she asked them a question, they also didn't know how to answer. Aisha 心入面 覺得 ，呢啲 問題 唔 會 得到 答案 ，所以 佢 冇 再 問 其他 人 問題 。 Aisha|inside her heart|felt|these|questions|not|will|get|answers|so|she|did not|again|ask|other|people|questions Aisha felt that these questions would not get answers, so she didn't ask anyone else any questions. 於是 ， 佢 心 入面 積 埋 積埋 好多 「 點解 」 。 |||||accumulating|accumulated|| So, she has accumulated a lot of 'whys' in her heart.

有 一 日 ， Aisha 喺 公園 坐 坐下 ，突然 諗起 嗰啲 「點解 」。 there is|one|day|Aisha|at|park|sit|sit down|suddenly|thought of|those|why One day, Aisha was sitting in the park when she suddenly thought of those 'whys'. 佢 發現 自己 仍然 好 想 揾到 答案 ，不過 唔知 可以 向 咩 人 發問 。 He|realized|himself|still|very|wants|find|answer|but|doesn't know|can|to|what|person|ask She realized that she still really wanted to find the answers, but didn't know who to ask. 喺 呢個 時候 ，佢 問 自己 ：「點解 我 有 咁多 點解 嘅 呢 ？」 at|this|time|he|asked|himself|why|I|have|so many|why|question particle|here At that moment, she asked herself: 'Why do I have so many whys?' 可惜 ，佢 發現 自己 都 唔識 答 。 unfortunately|he|realized|himself|also|doesn't know|answer Unfortunately, she found that she didn't know how to answer.

後來 ， 佢 揾 到 個 將 啲 「 點解 」 表達 出 嚟 嘅 方法 － 就 係 畫畫 ！ ||||||||express||||||is| Later, he found a way to express his "whys" - by drawing! 佢 唔 知 點解 足球場 只有 男仔 踢波 ，又 唔 知 點解 冇 女仔 肯 同 佢 一齊 踢波 ，所以 佢 就 畫 咗 一 幅 男仔 女仔 一齊 踢波 嘅 畫 ；佢 唔 知 點解 朋友仔 淨係 温書 ，唔 同 佢 一齊 玩 ，所以 就 畫 咗 幅 佢 同 朋友 一齊 玩 嘅 畫 。 He|not|knows|why|soccer field|only|boys|play soccer|also|not|knows|why|no|girls|willing|with|him|together|play soccer|so|he|then|drew|past tense marker|one|measure word for paintings|boys|girls|together|play soccer|possessive particle|painting|he|not|knows|why|friends|only|study|not|with|him|together|play|so|then|drew|past tense marker|measure word for paintings|he|with|friends|together|play|possessive particle|painting He didn't understand why only boys played football on the field, and he didn't understand why no girls were willing to play with him, so he drew a picture of boys and girls playing football together; he didn't understand why his friends only studied and didn't play with him, so he drew a picture of him playing with his friends. 漸漸 地 ，佢 畫 咗 好多 畫 。 gradually|adverbial particle|he|draw|past tense marker|many|pictures Gradually, he drew many pictures.

之後 ，有 唔少 人 睇 到 佢 嘅 畫 。 afterwards|there are|quite a few|people|see|to|his|possessive particle|painting After that, many people saw his drawings. 有人 問 佢 ：「點解 男仔 女仔 一齊 踢波 嘅 ？」 Someone|asked|him|why|boys|girls|together|play soccer|question particle Someone asked him: "Why are boys and girls playing football together?" 「點解 咁 多 幅 畫 都 係 你 喺度 玩 嘅 ？」 why|so|many|measure word for paintings|paintings|all|are|you|here|playing|past tense particle "Why are so many of the paintings you are playing with?" 「點解 你 畫 咁 多 畫 ？」 why|you|draw|so|many|pictures "Why do you paint so many paintings?" 面對 呢啲 問題 ， Aisha 都 會 問 返 佢哋 ：「點解 唔 得 呢 ？」 face|these|questions|Aisha|also|will|ask|back|them|why|not|okay|this Facing these problems, Aisha would ask them back: 'Why can't it be like this?'

越嚟越 多 人 問 Aisha「點解 」，Aisha發現 原來 唔止 佢 一 個 有 咁 多 「點解 」。 more and more|many|people|asking||why||originally|not only|she|one|classifier for people|has|so|many|why More and more people are asking Aisha 'Why', and Aisha realizes that she is not the only one with so many 'whys'. 雖然 佢 唔 識 答 晒 每 一 條 問題 ，但係 對 佢哋 問 嘅 「點解 」都 非常 好奇 。 although|he|not|knows|answer|all|every|one|measure word for questions|question|but|towards|they|asked|possessive particle|why|also|very|curious Although she does not know the answers to every single question, she is very curious about the 'whys' they ask. 佢 明白 到 ，世界 上 仲 有 好多 未 知 嘅 事物 ，佢 依然 有 好多 「點解 」。 he|understands|to|world|on|still|has|many|not yet|known|possessive particle|things|he|still|has|many|questions She understands that there are still many unknown things in the world, and she still has many 'whys'. 同 之前 唔同 嘅 係 ，佢 唔再 因為 怕 人哋 唔 識 答 ，而 唔敢 問 「點解 」。 same|before|different|possessive particle|is|he|no longer|because|afraid|others|not|know|answer|and|dare not|ask|why What’s different from before is that she is no longer afraid to ask 'why' because she worries others won't have an answer.

於是 ，佢 又 開始 向 好多 人 問 「點解 」，例如 成日 上堂 問 老師 。 so|he|again|started|towards|many|people|asking|why|for example|every day|attending class|asking|teacher Thus, she begins to ask many people 'why', for example, always asking the teacher in class. 差唔多 每 堂 課 ，佢 都 會 舉手 發問 ，學校 入面 每 個 老師 都 俾 佢 問 過 「點解 」。 almost|every|class|lesson|he|all|will|raise his hand|ask questions|school|inside|every|classifier for people|teacher|all|allow|him|ask|past|why Almost every class, he raises his hand to ask questions, and every teacher in the school has been asked 'why' by him. 如果 老師 解答 到 佢 嘅 問題 ，佢 就 會 好 開心 ，覺得 自己 又 學 到 一 樣 嘢 。 if|teacher|answers|to|he|possessive particle|question|he|then|will|very|happy|feels|himself|again|learn|to|one|piece|thing If the teacher can answer his question, he will be very happy and feel like he has learned something.

同 朋友 傾計 嗰陣 ， Aisha 都 同樣 會 問 好多 「點解 」。 with|friend|chat|at that time|Aisha|also|similarly|will|ask|many|why When chatting with friends, Aisha also often asks a lot of 'why'. 唔 知 係咪 受到 佢 影響 ，佢 啲 朋友仔 都 開始 會 喺 堂上 踴躍 問 「點解 」，佢 好 開心 。 not|know|whether|received|he|influence|he|plural marker|friends|all|start|will|at|class|actively|asking|why|he|very|happy I don't know if it's because of her influence, but her friends have also started to eagerly ask 'why' in class, which makes her very happy. 就 係 噉 ， 佢 透過 對 唔 同 事物 嘅 「 點解 」 ， 畫 咗 好多 畫 ， 又 識 到 好多 朋友 …… ||||through||||||||||||||| That's how it is, through asking 'why' about different things, he painted a lot of pictures and made many friends ...
