双语上海话教学(1)

1. 拆烂污：mess up knowingly

The phrase originally means to suffer diarrhea in Shanghai dialect. Later it has come to mean an international act of muddling along and then looking on without offering a helping hand when problems arise.

英文讲了老大堆，其实它现在的意思就是做事不负责任、敷衍了事。

3. 饭泡粥：chatterbox, gasbag
