【明報專訊】Eason has challenged the Smarties to another task!

“ MoMo: Wait, the background looks like an ancient building. ”

“ Dr Panda: Yeah, I think so too. ”

“ MoMo: We got you! ”

“ Eason: It's impossible! ”

“ Dr Panda: Your picture revealed you were hiding in the walled village! ”

■English highway﹕''I think so too''

''I think so too'' is used to show agreement. Other expressions for agreeing include: ''That's right'', ''Exactly'', ''Absolutely'', ''You're right'', ''I totally agree'', etc.

e.g. ''I believe he is innocent.'' ''I think so too.''

''I think we should be more careful.'' '' That's right!''

■Know more

More than 500 years ago, some of Hong Kong's early inhabitants built high brick walls to protect themselves from rival clans, pirates, armed thieves and wild animals. Most of them are located in the New Territories and belong to the same clan. The most famous walled villages are Kat Hing Wai (吉慶圍) in Yuen Long and Tsang Tai Uk (曾大屋) in Sha Tin. Within these walls, houses are densely packed and alleys are narrow.

■Glossary

inhabitant (n) 居民

rival (adj) 競爭的

clan (n) 家族

armed (adj) 帶武器的
