Hong Kong Retail Stock - English, finding and defining the subject.

英文教學: 在一段/句英文中如何找到主語呢?
有人說藍球中得藍底者得天下,因為不中的球都能在這裹取得控球權。
但要理解英文又怎能不先找到主語呢?因為主語不同,整句的意思可能來個100%的相反逆轉。
下文就以香港零售市道低迷的南華早報報導為例。這2句以莎莎以及莎莎的股價反彈為主語。第二句是第一句的遞進,由莎莎說到其上星期那不能持續的股價反彈。

"Sa Sa, the largest cosmetics store chain in Hong Kong, is expected to bear the brunt. Li said the rebound in its share price cannot be sustained despite its Tuesday rally of 6.5 per cent."

The part highlighted yellow was referring to the subject "Sa Sa"; The Green referring the subject will be the rebound in Sa Sa's share price, while the light blue areas are extra information for the subject of describing the "rebound level" of the share price. Remember it is the rebound of share price consider as the subject instead of just share price or Sa Sa's share.

"Multi-brand fashion house I.T limited jumped 3.61 per cent to HK$2.58 on Tuesday, but Li said speculation was behind the rebound."

堅持用Oxford English冬叔:我受英國殖民地教育嘛

1 : GS(14)@2017-03-04 10:18:30

冬叔不時夾雜講英文,字正腔圓:「我喺英國殖民地出生同受教育,我係講Oxford English,有尾音㗎。?家嘅人鍾意講Chinese English,覺得溝通到就得,有啲嘢要堅持。」冬叔生活充實,更與不同朋友開了多個WhatsApp群組吹水:「知吓身邊發生緊嘅大事,好似林鄭高票入閘、劉鑾雄分身家、王衛(順豐創辦人)身家追過李嘉誠呀。」冬叔大搞爛gag講戲癮,「90歲都有戲癮,問題係夠唔夠氣啫!」他心郁郁想演出:「無綫獨大、ViuTV又『炒雜碎』,奇妙(電視)都唔知點奇妙法,所以好難。」
