名人教英文：咩叫得意
一直觉得「得意」两个字好得意，尤其是话人「懒得意」时，那个意思到底为何，真系可以五花八门。得意，有得就有失，得意相对失意。「情场失意，职场得意」是a failure in love, a success in career。用自在的英文讲，是he is successful in life but not in love.
这款得意等于successful，像春风得意，即是我们口语的「掂」︰
he is doing well.「佢好掂。」
he has made it. 「佢得咗。」
但在粤语中，得意最常用的意思是代表可爱趣致︰
那只小狗好得意﹕that's a cute puppy.
cute，英文口语亦常讲cutesy或cutesie。像批评一部电影"cutesy story, cardboard characters and bad acting"，是说「故事得意，（但）角色似硬纸板兼演技差」。
cutesies，变成众数，是个名词﹕the babies are all cutesies.
得意却又同时可指某人古怪，odd、strange、unusual。
他这个人都几「得意」﹕
he is quite an odd person.
he is rather strange.
讲得客气一点，用语气搭够﹕
he is "fairly unusual". 他「有异寻常」。
「几得意吖」亦往往是对一些人、事、物不知道该是赞抑或弹，犹豫之际吐出的敷衍话﹕
你喜欢这设计吗？do you like this design?
几得意吖。it's interesting. it is unusual.
而「得意门生」，是a star student。她是他的得意门生︰she is his star student。
还有好生得意、洋洋得意，都有很重的「自我感觉良好」之意，to gloat over something。
he keeps gloating over his own success.
书面语叫人「别得意」，通常亦即广东话的「咪得戚」。得戚，being cocky / smug。
don't be cocky.
