Colder than that monkey Explanation: I can't be too sure what this slang means. Perhaps if there is a site on Chinese idioms it would be very helpful. |

6 hrs confidence:
even more agitated than a monkey Explanation: being this sentence very colloquial, the context suggests me that he's saying: like we would say in Beijing, he shakes even more than a monkey (imagine monkeys in the jungle when a lion approaches, they start screaming and shaking, they turn hysterical..) the literary translation of 寒颤 is: to shiver, to tremble the point I'm trying to make is that not necessarily that refers to cold...as explained in this Yahoo kudoz http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/47233041 my educated guess...:-) |

even uglier than the monkey. Explanation: It seems to have a typo here: it should be "寒碜" instead. "寒碜" is a Beijing slang for "ugly"。 This paragraph talks about "individuality"/personalization with sarcasm：maybe I am being a bit of acrimonious here, the so called personalized design is sometimes even uglier than a monkey. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days1 hr (2010-06-13 03:49:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 寒颤: Han Chan 寒碜: Han Chen Example sentence(s):
