有一擺坐公車 ê 時陣, 我看著這張貼紙, 看了了後我感覺真心適, 因為導盲犬是專門sa-bí-suh 青盲ê 鄉親, 既然是青盲, 著是看bē著, 貼這張紙mā是真giâ枷, 而且英文翻譯mā-是真奇怪,m̄知影這欲hō͘啥人看​ ...政府做代誌為啥物即呢仔哩哩落落?

There was a note I saw on the bus, it grabbed my attention immediately. The guide-dog was specialized to serve those who are visually disabled, since they cannot see, it’s pointless to bring owls to Athens, the English translating was weird, too; I wondered if anyone understood what it is...Why the government is so careless about the little tiny detail?
