我 係 一 名 工程師 I|am|a|measure word for people|engineer soy ingeniero 나는 엔지니어입니다 eu sou um engenheiro 我系一名工程师 I am an engineer.

我 叫 阿樂 ，我 細細個 就 有 一 個 夢想 ，係 想 成為 一 個 工程師 ，但係 好 難 實現 到 。 I|am called|Ah Lok|I|when I was small|already|had|one|measure word|dream|is|want|to become|one|measure word|engineer|but|very|difficult|to realize|to My name is Ah Lok, and I have had a dream since I was little, which is to become an engineer, but it is very difficult to achieve. 你哋 可能 會 講 只 係 工程師 ，認真 啲 讀書 咪 得 囉 。 you (plural)|might|will|speak|only||engineer|seriously|more|study|then|fine|particle indicating finality or realization You might say it's just being an engineer, just study harder and it will be fine. 吖 ！ ah Ah! 仲 有 一 樣 嘢 未 講 ，我 係 一 個 女仔 …… still|have|one|thing|thing|not yet|said|I|am|one|measure word|girl There is one more thing I haven't mentioned, I am a girl...

我 想 整 嘅 嘢 有 好多 ，多 到 你哋 都 唔 信 。 I|want|fix|possessive particle|things|have|many|many|to the extent that|you all|all|not|believe There are many things I want to create, so many that you wouldn't believe it.

我 好 想 起 一 條 好 長 好 長 嘅 公路 ，可以 俾 我 踩 住 單車 ，由 地球 踩 去 月球 。 I|very|want|to ride|one|measure word for long objects|very|long|very|long|possessive particle|road|can|give|me|ride|on|bicycle|from|Earth|ride|to|Moon I really want to imagine a very long road, where I can ride my bike from Earth to the Moon. 我 好 早 就 想 去 月球 睇 下 ，睇下 月亮 係咪 有 隻 兔仔 喺度 ，可以 帶 一 個 月餅 當 手信 ，我 諗 佢 應該 會 鍾意 食 。 I|very|early|already|want|to go|moon|to see|down|have a look|moon|whether|has|a (measure word for animals)|rabbit|there|can|bring|one|a (measure word for objects)|mooncake|as|souvenir|I|think|he|should|will|like|eat I have wanted to go to the moon for a long time, to see if there is a rabbit there, and to bring a mooncake as a souvenir. I think it would like to eat it. 但係 班上 嘅 男 同學 聽 到 我 想 做 工程師 ，佢 係噉 笑 我 ，指 住 我 話 ：「你 一 個 女仔 ，仲 想 做 工程師 ，點 會 夠 我哋 男仔 嚟 ，我 夢想 都 係 做 工程師 ，你 都 係 喺 寫字樓 返工 啦 。」 but|in class|possessive particle|male|classmate|hear|to|I|want|to be|engineer|he|like that|laugh|I|point|at|me|said|you|one|classifier|girl|still|want|to be|engineer|how|can|compete with|us|boys|come|I|dream|also|is|to be|engineer|you|also|are|at|office|work|particle But the boys in the class laughed at me when they heard that I want to be an engineer. One of them pointed at me and said, 'You're a girl and you still want to be an engineer? How can you compete with us boys? My dream is to be an engineer too, you'll just work in an office.'

我 好 想 整 一 架 火箭 出嚟 ，可以 飛 嚟 飛去 ，好 想 睇 下 其他 地方 ，好 想 知 有冇 一 個 地方 係 男女 平等 嘅 呢 ？ I|very|want|build|a|classifier for vehicles|rocket|out|can|fly|come|fly away|very|want|see|at|other|places|very|want|know|is there|a|classifier for people|place|is|male and female|equality|possessive particle|question particle I really want to build a rocket that can fly here and there, I want to see other places, and I want to know if there is a place where men and women are equal. 其實 ， 我 喺 學校 嘅 科學 考試 年 年 都 係 全 班 第 一 名 ， 嗰 個 男仔 次次 都 係 唔 合格 ， 但 係 個個 都 讚 佢 叻 ， 有 理想 ， 但 係 我 就 ….. 點解 會 有 咁 大 唔 同 ？ |||||||year||||entire||||||that||||is||||||||him|||||||||||||| Actually, I have been the top student in my class for the science exam every year, while that boy always fails. But everyone praises him for being smart and having ideals, while I... why is there such a big difference?

吖 ！ ah Ah! 我 仲 有 個 地方 想 去 呀 ！ I|still|have|a|place|want|go|particle I still have a place I want to go! 我 好 想 去 睇 海 嘅 世界 ，聽 人 講 有 好多 魚 、海星 同 海草 。 I|very|want|go|see|sea|possessive particle|world|hear|people|say|have|many|fish|starfish|and|seaweed I really want to see the world of the sea. I've heard there are many fish, starfish, and seaweed. 因為 我 唔 識 游水 ，如果 我 整到 一 部 潛水艇 就 好 喇 ！ because|I|not|know|swim|if|I|can make|one|measure word for vehicles|submarine|then|good|particle indicating completed action Because I don't know how to swim, if I could make a submarine, that would be great! 噉 我 就 可以 去 睇 下 唔同 嘅 嘢 。 then|I|then|can|go|see|a little|different|possessive particle|things That way, I could go and see different things. 有時 ，我 唔係 好 明白 ，點解 連 屋企人 都 唔 支持 我 。 sometimes|I|not|very|understand|why|even|family|also|not|support|me Sometimes, I don't quite understand why even my family doesn't support me. 成日 都 係 嗰 句 ：「女仔 做 咩 工程師 ，做 寫字樓 唔 好 咩 ？」 all the time|also|is|that|question|girl|to be|what|engineer|to be|office|not|good|what It's always the same thing: 'Why do girls become engineers? Isn't it better to work in an office?' 但係 我 都 有 自己 鍾意 同 想 做 嘅 嘢 㗎 。 but|I|also|have|my own|like|and|want|do|possessive particle|things|sentence-final particle But I also have my own interests and things I want to do.

有 一 日 ， 科學 老師 叫 我 落堂 嚟 搵 佢 ， 佢 問 咗 我 一 個 問題 ， 如果 你 係 一 個 工程師 ， 你 會 想 整 咩 嘢 呀 ？ |||science||||after class||||||||||||||||||||make|what|| One day, the science teacher asked me to come down to find him. He asked me a question: If you were an engineer, what would you want to create?

我 細細聲 噉 問 ：「我 都 可以 做 到 工程師 咩 ？」 I|softly|like this|asked|I|also|can|be|a|engineer|question particle I asked softly, "Can I also become an engineer?"

佢 好 肯定 噉 答 ：「可以 呀 ！」 he|very|confidently|like that|answered|can|particle He answered with confidence, "Yes, you can!"

我 再 問 ：「但係 我 係 女仔 喎 ！」 I|again|ask|but|I|am|girl|particle indicating realization or confirmation I ask again: 'But I am a girl!'

佢 再 答 ：「噉 又 點 ？」 he|again|replied|like that|again|how He responds again: 'So what?'

聽到 佢 噉 講 ，我 開始 慢慢 講 我 嘅 理想 。 heard|he|like that|speak|I|started|slowly|to speak|my|possessive particle|ideal Hearing him say that, I slowly start to talk about my ideals.

我 見 老師 好 留心 聽 我 講 ， 我 繼續 講 「 我 仲 想 整 一 個 機械 人 ， 佢 可以 幫 媽媽 煮飯 ， 又 可以 幫 爸爸 做 嘢 ， 又 可以 教 細佬 做 功課 。 」 |||||||||continue||||||||machine|||||mom|||||||||||younger brother|| I see the teacher paying close attention to me, so I continue to say, 'I also want to make a robot that can help mom cook, help dad with work, and teach my little brother to do homework.'

最好 梗係 可以 捉到 電腦 上 嘅 壞人 ，唔 准 佢哋 偷 嘢 。 it's best|of course|can|catch|computer|on|possessive particle|bad guys|not|allow|they|steal|things It would be best if it could catch the bad guys on the computer and stop them from stealing. 捉 到 佢 之後 ，我 要 同 佢 講 ，偷嘢 係 唔 啱 㗎 ！ catch|to|him|after|I|want|with|him|to talk|stealing|is|not|right|particle After catching him, I want to tell him that stealing is wrong!

唉 ，而家 地球 都 病 咗 ，我 都 好 想 發明 一啲 嘢 可以 救 下 佢 。 sigh|now|Earth|also|sick|past tense marker|I|also|very|want|invent|something|thing|can|save|down|it Sigh, the Earth is sick now, and I really want to invent something to help save it. 因為 地球 係 我哋 嘅 屋企 ，好似 我哋 嘅 屋企人 噉 。 because|Earth|is|we|possessive particle|home|like|we|possessive particle|family|like that Because the Earth is our home, just like our family.

最後 ，我 好 想 可以 有 一 對 翼 ，噉 我 就 可以 每 日 嚟 同 老師 打招呼 喇 。 finally|I|very|want|can|have|one|pair|wings|then|I|then|can|every|day|come|with|teacher|greet|particle indicating completed action In the end, I really wish I could have a pair of wings, so I could greet the teacher every day.

老師 嗰 日 靜靜 噉 聽 我 講 我 嘅 夢想 ，都 鼓勵 我 要 加油 。 teacher|that|day|quietly|like that|listened|I|talk|my|possessive particle|dream|also|encouraged|me|to|work hard The teacher quietly listened to me talk about my dreams that day and encouraged me to keep going. 自從 嗰日 之後 ，我 更加 認真 讀書 ，而 屋企人 都 開始 明白 我 。 since|that day|after|I|even more|serious|study|and|family|also|started|to understand|me Since that day, I have been studying harder, and my family has started to understand me.

阿樂 而家 望 住 一 本 日記 笑 住 講 ： 「而家 睇 返 之前 細個 寫 嘅 日記 都 幾 搞笑 。 Ah Lok|now|looking|continuous particle|a|measure word for books|diary|laugh|continuous particle|said|now|read|back|previous|young|wrote|possessive particle|diary|also|quite|funny Ah Lok is now looking at a diary with a smile, saying: "Looking back at the diary I wrote when I was younger is quite funny." 我 最後 都 自我 介紹 ，我 叫 阿樂 ，我 而家 係 一 個 工程師 ，大家 有事 都 可以 搵 我 幫手 㗎 。」 I|finally|also|self|introduction|I|am called|Ah Lok|I|now|am|a|measure word|engineer|everyone|have something|all|can|find|me|help|sentence final particle Finally, I will introduce myself, my name is Ah Lok, and I am currently an engineer. If anyone needs help, you can find me."
