工作坊二：「元」宇宙：圍頭話齊解碼
Workshop 2: “Smart Matching of Weitou Dialect”
Considering the Weitou dialect is one of the dialects common to walled villages, this activity is meant to introduce visitors to the dialect. First, we will prepare some Weitou dialect question cards and translate them into Cantonese and English. Our next step is to stick the cards on a whiteboard. Visitors can guess the meaning and match them in the correct order to get gifts.
圍頭話是普遍香港圍村人使用的標準方言，這個活動透過猜想圍頭話的意思，讓參加者對香港新界圍村的圍頭話有更多的認識和引起他們對圍頭話的興趣。活動會先準備一些圍頭話卡紙，並將它們翻譯為廣東話和英語，隨後將這些卡紙黏在白板上，再請參加者嘗試猜圍頭話的意思，然後進行配對，配對正確的話將會獲得禮物。
