When first assigned to Argentina, he brought a set of tapes, but "I'm so busy there is no time to learn. After work I'm so tired I just want to rest." So he learns on the job. Anyway, specialized phrases like "When do we get to shore?"
當初要派到阿根廷時，他帶了一套錄音帶來，但是「忙的時候沒時間學，忙完又累得只想休息」，所以都是一面工作，一面學，反正都是些「何時到岸」、「在哪個碼頭」的術語，說得不標準，行裡的人照樣聽得懂。
