白菜 白菜 十分 常見 。 Cabbage, cabbage, very common. 可是 你 見 過 半 人 高 的 大白菜 麼 ？ ||||||||napa cabbage| But have you ever seen a cabbage that is half a person tall? 上個月 我 才 看到 的 。 last month|I|only|saw|past tense particle I just saw one last month. 不過 ，它 只是 用 來看 的 ，因為 它 是 用 木頭 做 的 ，用 的 還是 上好 的 木頭 。 however|it|only|used|for viewing|past action particle|because|it|is|made|wood|made|past action particle|used|possessive particle|still|high-quality|possessive particle|wood However, it is only for viewing, because it is made of wood, and it is made of high-quality wood.

不 看 它 的 色 ，只 看 它 的 形 ，它 就 和 真 的 白菜 一樣 ，十分 形象 。 not|to look|it|possessive particle|color|only|to look|it|possessive particle|shape|it|then|and|real|possessive particle|cabbage|alike|very|lifelike If you don't look at its color, but only at its shape, it looks just like a real cabbage, very lifelike.

日常 生活 裡 ，白菜 可 不是 用 來 看 的 。 daily|life|in|cabbage|can|not|used|to|look|particle In daily life, cabbage is not something that is just for looking at. 再說 做 這麼 一件 東西 ，一定 要 用 不少 人工 和 時間 。 moreover|making|such|one|thing|definitely|will|use|quite a lot of|labor|and|time Moreover, making such an item definitely requires a lot of labor and time. 是不是 有 什麼 說法 ？ is it true|have|any|explanation Is there any saying? 不說 不 知道 ，一 說 你 馬上 就 知道 。 not say|not|know|once|say|you|immediately|then|know If you don't say it, you won't know; once you say it, you'll know immediately. 你 看 ，白 和 百 ，菜 和 財 ，有 什麼 相通 之處 ？ you|look|white|and|hundred|vegetable|and|wealth|have|what|similar|aspects Look, 'white' and 'hundred', 'vegetable' and 'wealth', what do they have in common?

對了 ，白菜 就是 百財 ，百財 就是 多多 發財 。 that's right|bok choy|is|hundred wealth|hundred wealth|is|more and more|prosperous That's right, 'cabbage' is 'hundred wealth', and 'hundred wealth' means a lot of prosperity. 正是 這個 原因 ，本身 沒 幾個 錢 的 白菜 ，一下子 成 了 好 東西 。 exactly|this|reason|itself|not|a few|money|possessive particle|cabbage|all of a sudden|became|past tense marker|good|thing It is precisely this reason that the cabbage, which originally had little money, suddenly became a good thing.
