54 mins confidence: 
look down upon you Explanation: It is still Hong Kong Cantonese and means "despise" or "look down upon." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-09-12 07:46:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I guess you have already found out the right meaning. Last sentence: I won't beat people, but I would look down upon you. |

move the lips upward/pout the lips to show anger on or indifference to you Explanation: "藐你" here in this sentence is quite ambiguous. It may mean two things. First of all, 藐你 may be an actual ACTION, 嘴藐藐, which means "moving the lips slightly upward to show hatred on or indifference toward you." "藐你" may also mean "藐視" which means "to look down upon or slight you". |
