tawkaix [wt] [HTB] [wiki] [[...]] 

a stick for leveling off the contents of a tau (measure)

斗平; 斠; 量米斗用之截尺

🗣 Bagciw koax tawkaix, khvoax laang mih tø aix. 🗣 (u: Bak'ciw koax tao'kaix, khvoax laang mih tø aix.) 目睭掛斗概，看人物就愛。 [wt][mo] Ba̍k-tsiu kuà táu-kài, khuànn lâng mi̍h tō ài. [#]

1. () || 眼睛掛著平斗的木概，看到別人的東西就想要。用來形容人過於貪心。以前用「斗」來測量穀物豆類等東西的份量，斗概是一長形木條，用來把斗口高出的部分撥平以得到準確的量。販售商人的習慣是只往內撥、不往外撥，有招財之意。所以用眼睛掛著斗概，來比喻想把別人的東西納為己有的貪婪心態。

🗣le: (u: AF'beeng ka af'hviaf thør tuo bea`laai ee six'siux'ar, køq ka af'cie thør pie'saix viaa`laai ee ciorng'phirn, tø khix ho af'mar ka me korng “bak'ciw koax tao'kaix, khvoax laang mih tø aix”.) 🗣 (阿明共阿兄討拄買來的四秀仔，閣共阿姊討比賽贏來的獎品，就去予阿媽共罵講「目睭掛斗概，看人物就愛」。) (阿明向哥哥要剛買來的零食，又向姊姊要比賽贏得的獎品，所以就被祖母斥責「眼睛掛著平斗的木概，看到別人的東西就想要」。)

1. (N) || 用來平斗的器具。以前用斗斛量東西時，用來刮平斗口高出部分的長形棒子。

🗣le: (u: Bak'ciw koax tao'kaix, khvoax laang mih tø aix.) 🗣 (目睭掛斗概，看人物就愛。) (眼睛掛著斗概，看到別人的東西就想要。因為斗概概入不概出，故有此比喻。)
