Cantonese to English Translation
[00:00:28] – Presenting the Four Bachelor Boys drama show
[00:01:00] – Remind me again, what does the idiom, 'When a man sings, an woman follows' mean?
[00:01:05]: Look at your face! It looks worse than Zhongkui's face, I bet not even a ghost would want to marry you! You still dare to dream about a blissful and harmonious relationship? Hah! What a joke!
[00:01:16]: Don't hurt his feelings.
[00:01:18]: Yes, I am not as handsome as you. But, let me ask you. Do you have a wife? Who will be willing to marry you?
[00:01:26]: You! (The person splutters in outrage.)
[00:01:28]: Don't worry what Ho Bee Wai is saying now. You and me... Actually, all four of us are bachelors so we aren't really that different from each other.
[00:01:34]: Even such a handsome guy like you? (The speaker asked in a sarcastic tone.)
[00:01:38]: Well, it's true that handsome guys can get girls. But, I'm just worried that looks can't pay your bills.
[00:01:38]: Love can conquer anything. A relationship is all about true love, not about money.
[00:01:51]: I'm not as lucky as you! I'm rushing to meet my family and cook a hearty meal for them.
[00:01:54]: Wow, your mouth is so dirty. If you don't speak, no one is going to say that you are mute.
[00:02:00]: Hahaha! This is what people mean by being a pervert psychologically.
[00:02:05]: You are hurting my feelings again.
[00:02:08]: That's right! I am!
[00:02:16]: Wow, why are you back so early this morning?
[00:02:18]: He gossiped about you.
[00:02:18]: Oh?
[00:02:19]: I didn't say anything! I only said that you should accept your own fate.
[00:02:20]: Ah, you're just a pot calling the kettle black!
[00:02:31]: No, not this! He said you were a 'psychological pervert' and had sadistic tendencies.
[00:02:35]: Haiz! I'm so tired of being single!
[00:02:36]: What can you do, you pervert?
[00:02:41]: What's wrong? Are you still thinking about your son?
[00:02:41]: What is there to miss? If we want to marry a wife, we have to become another person for us to have a shot.
[00:02:51]: Look! Look at his appearance. Even a beggar on the street would not want him.
[00:02:58]: Chui Fei Zi, that might not actually be the case. As they say, a person's skill is more attractive than one's looks. Being able to earn money is also a skill too. After all, if you are rich, are you still going to worry that no one will pursue you?
[00:03:05]: Yes but the worst thing for a guy is when he does not have any money!
[00:03:10]: Don't be such a bully, Chui Fei Zi
[00:03:14]: Ah! Why is it when I hear you all, you guys only talk about girls?
[00:03:18]: Wah! Where are you going! You have cleaned yourself up pretty well.
[00:03:25]: Don't mention it! What terrible luck! With my wealth, girls still avoid me...I'm just a mess!
[00:03:33]: What's wrong?
[00:03:34]: I really don't get it. In this world, even if you have the money, you can still fail to get a girl.
[00:03:37]: As the saying goes, if you fling money at a girl, you will always get her. But, somehow, I met a girl who is not interested in money. Tell me fellas, won't you feel frustrated too? [00:03:48]: Ho Bee Wai I apologize for saying an unpleasant truth. But, do you really think that money can buy you everything?
[00:03:51]: Isn't that the case?
[00:03:54]: Other than your external appearances, you still need to have good character too. Although you do have much cash to spare, but your character and educational background are lacking. So, that is why...you keep failing to get people to like you.
[00:04:09]: No matter how hard I try to chase them, I get nothing in return!
[00:04:12]: So, you are destined to be with us singles till death do us part!
[00:04:20]: Ho Bee Wai, it doesn't matter if you come from a rich family. Is it even up to your free choice to be a bachelor for life?
[00:04:29]: I've been a bachelor for 29 years and counting. That's fate!
[00:04:35]: I. Bee Kok, just have high standards. If not...
[00:04:36]: If not, no woman will like you and you will start scolding everyone.
[00:04:43]: Chui Fei Zi, you don't have to rub it into our noses. You and me, we're around the same standard too.
[00:04:49]: Please, I'm far ahead of you.
[00:04:51]: If you are willing to lower your standards, just by a little bit, don't say that you'll have a son. You might even have a grandson by now.
[00:04:56]: Hey, you have extremely high standards. You are too picky! If they are too good, they won't pick you and if they do not meet your standards, you'll think that you are not compatible. Picking one after another, you're just dragging your feet on marriage now.
[00:05:06]: This year, I, Mr Ho Bee Wai, you are just around 24 to 25 years old. Is that very old?
[00:05:12]: Please, that's literally less than half of your actual age.
[00:05:15]: Right? 24!
[00:05:15]: Laugh! Laugh! What are you guys laughing about? What's so funny for you to laugh about?
[00:05:19]: Nowadays, marrying at forty years old is extremely common. Everyone does it. You guys are stuck in the old days.
[00:05:26]: Then, I wish that you will remain a bachelor for your whole life!
[00:05:29]: Hey, stop talking about this. When us bachelors sit together, we are always talking about marriage for our future. If not, we'll feel uncomfortable.
[00:05:42]: As they say, marriage is the natural order of things. A blissful marriage leads to a fortunate life, while a single life leads to misery. Just how men treat women like treasures, women see men as their whole world. Heaven will...
[00:05:55]: Heaven! Heaven! Stop talking about heaven all day long! You're the worst, Onion head.
