Anyone in business works clickety-clack on their abacus, watching the money roll in; politicians do silent and careful calculations on their "inner abacuses," figuring out how to get to the top of the heap; misbehaving husbands nabbed by their wives may well be forced to "kneel on an abacus."
做生意的手撥算盤，起起落落，願財源滾滾；從政的心中撚著算盤，無聲無息，願步步高升；至於男兒「膝」下有算盤，可就嗚呼哀哉，只願老婆大人快快息怒。
