Jabber's English Note

Typhoon. I have ever remembered this word at my very first. Its pronunciation is so close to its Chinese equivalent. Actually, a typhoon is called a typhoon only in Asia. In America, it is called a hurricane. Yes, hurricane.

Well, let me introduce another word: tycoon. If you have ever watched the movie Titanic, let me remind that Rose's fiancee was a Philladelphia steel tycoon. Bill Gates is a software tycoon. If you are a big fugure in some field, you are a tycoon. Of course, a tycoon is powerful and has a lot of money. We may hear that Person X is a media tycoon, Person Y is a petroleum tycoon...

It is not a bad idea for a girl to marry a tycoon's son, or a tycoon himself, no matter how old he is.

    • Rose's fiance?
      • It is her fiancee. I think it's Mr. Hickorey.
        • I mean Rose is Mr. Hickorey's fiancee, and Mr. Hickorey is her fiance. :P I know I'm a little picky. :D
          • You are right. French words have mascular and femenine forms.
    • thanks, Is tycoon a frequently used word in speaking english, since I know this is a informal word?
      • Tycoon is does used in Chinese. We always say someone is tycoon in science or some fields. But when we say someone is tycoon, that means he/she is old and rich in thinking and knowledge.
        • Got it. Egg is a tycoon, :-)
    • I agree but I think it is better for a girl to find a boy who will be tycoon in the future, we call this a Qian Li4 Gu3 in stock market. BTW, are you a Qian Li4 Gu3?
      • why do you care? You are a man :-)
        • That is why I have been always trying to become a Qian Li4 Gu3, but it is so difficult! :(
          • 谁不想呢?嘿嘿,我在看富爸爸穷爸爸,有点意思,把它和who moved my cheese和在一起看,更有意思
