华人华语

I was clearing my old files just now when I came across this word file called "chinese.doc" created around the 4th Jan this year. There were only 6 characters inside, all chinese. I recalled the day when Tashes was given the task of printing flyers for employing "aunties" to work as part time taggers here. There was an urgent need to write professional chinese then. Just the words, "Employing Part-time Workers" was enough to drive us crazy. Somehow, someone - can't remember who - came up with the words "聘请兼职工员". Doesn't sound right but we couldn't find a righter phrase than that and so I typed the words in my MS Word - the result was this file - and Tashes used it - did she use this file? can't remember - and printed tons of flyers to be given out later. At about 7.30pm, I messaged Tashes something a little too late... "It's not "聘请兼职工员"!! It's "员工"!!! The other way around!!!"
