Proverb
edit官字兩個口
- Officials have all the say; officials can say whatever they want; there is no point in arguing with officials.
- 一般市民會認為,官字兩個口,CY、波哥點做都可以,如果樓價繼續上升,一於再出招,辣招唔夠就出租管,甚至規定賣出價不得高於買入價,那麼樓價一定跌。 [Cantonese, trad.]
- From: 2016, 湯文亮, 《細價樓爆煲論之危中有機》, page 120
- jat1 bun1 si5 man4 wui5 jing6 wai4, gun1 zi6 loeng5 go3 hau2, si1 waai1, bo1 go1 dim2 zou6 dou1 ho2 ji5, jyu4 gwo2 lau4 gaa3 gai3 zuk6 soeng5 sing1, jat1 jyu1 zoi3 ceot1 ziu1, laat6 ziu1 m4 gau3 zau6 ceot1 zou1 gun2, sam6 zi3 kwai1 ding6 maai6 ceot1 gaa3 bat1 dak1 gou1 jyu1 maai5 jap6 gaa3, naa5 mo1 lau4 gaa3 jat1 ding6 dit3. [Jyutping]
- The average citizen would believe that "officials have two mouths", that CY and Brother Paul can do whatever. If the housing prices continue to go up, well, they just ramp up the measures. If the harsh measures aren't enough, then they pull out Tenancy Control, or even stipulate that the selling price cannot be greater than the buying price; then housing prices would surely go down.
