This is similar to my blog entry on the phrase “Long time, no see“, which I’m convinced was borrowed from Mandarin.   The other phrase that I’ve discovered is “The more, the better.”   As in “The more money, the better” or “The more, the merrier”.   In Mandarin, the phrase is “you4 duo1, you4 hao3″.   Chinese and English are so different that I don’t think these two phrases just happen to be identical in both languages.
