out that what she was trying to say was“这是我的表姨”.The correct expression would have been“This is my(maternal)aunt.”
以前我有个朋友给我介绍她的一个亲戚。一开始我不知道她们是什么关系，但我知道她说的是中式英语。她说:“this is my watch aunt.”我理解为:“这是我的(卖)手表的姨妈。”实际上她想说的是:“这是我的表姨”。正确的表达应该是:“this is my(maternal)aunt.” Tip：
描述亲戚关系中的“小”，如小妹、小弟等，在英语中不能说成“small/little”。这样表达会被错误理解为“个子不高”。“小”应为“younger” ;“大”应为“older”。 ——摘自Kirk Kenny《笑死我的英文书》
