Sam Fisher- Cantonese

  "SLOW down," Fisher ordered the driver, whose grasp of English was weak but probably better than he let on. Some taxi drivers didn't want to be bothered with "touristy" questions, and nothing shuts up a tourist quicker than a Hong Kong driver's practiced "Eh?"--which is exactly what he gave Fisher now.

  "Slow down," Fisher repeated in Cantonese.

  The driver slowed the taxi and Fisher stared out the window at the line of darkened windows trolling by. The characters on the windows were Chinese, but Fisher had memorized the ones he was looking for. It appeared in the window of the fourth storefront: SONG WOO LTD.

  "Stop," Fisher said in Cantonese.
...

  "What's that sign say?" Fisher asked in English.

  "Eh?"

  Fisher handed a five-dollar bill--about forty HKD--over the seat.

  "Say, 'For Lease,' then give phone number for agent." The driver recited the number.
