confucius Posted February 17, 2005 at 11:00 AM Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 at 11:00 AM Here's an amusing topic. Let's share our telephone answering machine outgoing Chinese messages. Here's mine: 喂，我是Confucius. 对不起，我不在家。 请留言说你的名字和电话号码。谢谢 I know, I know; it's not a funny one. I used to do more 喂s at the beginning with a slightly longer pause between each one (wei...wei....wei.....) but it annoyed too many people.

liuzhou Posted February 20, 2005 at 01:29 PM Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 at 01:29 PM Answering machines do not seem to be an idea that ever caught on in China. I had one several years ago, but gave up on it after coming home every day to several messages which were all the same! "WEI!" "WEI" WEI" Everybody has a mobile now anyway so the concept is redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
