Patient's question:
The other day, I was reading a novel, and the letters "ML" kept appearing in it. I couldn't figure out what English word they stood for as an abbreviation. I asked several friends, but none of them could tell me, and they even laughed at me, saying I was trying to act innocent. What help do I need: What does "ML" mean?Doctor's answer:
ml is the abbreviation for the English phrase "make love," which means "to have sex" in Chinese. Some ignorant people think that writing it this way is more "subtle." But they don't realize that in ancient China, there were already subtle words to express the same meaning. For example: "room affairs," "a cloud and rain session," "cohabitation," and so on. This shows that modern Chinese people lack an understanding of their country's ancient culture. It is commonly seen on mainland Chinese websites, and it is not often found on Hong Kong and Taiwan websites. Because it is neither pinyin nor a proper English abbreviation, many people who understand both English and Chinese are confused when they see it. They have to ask others to find out what it means.
