trik kehidupan


Explanation:
Mengikut PPRM, hack merujuk kepada 'godam' secara am. Sesuatu yang salah tetapi jalan singkat untuk mencapai sesuatu. Secara positif dan sinonimnya, hack boleh ditukarkan kepada 'trick' yang padannya 'trik' dalam BM. Apapun, ini cara saya menterjemahkan nya secara peribadi supaya mudah difahami umum.
