• September 14, 2007 - More English -- Chinese Style

More crazy English today..........

This is a ladies' spa. You can get a facial, a massage, and I guess you can have your unruly liver chained up.

Our favorite pizza restaurant has these yellow egg head dispensers on each table. You pay 1 RMB and get your horoscope. But from the directions, you might never understand that.

And to finish up this post, here is the pizza buffet's attempt to ask customers not to waste food.

And I wishes you to have a day happily! :-)

Those are funny. Why in the world don't they take the time and effort to translate it all properly?

That last one takes the cake!

And I still cannot figure out what they meant to say with the whole organ thing.

Ah, that was too funny. Thanks for the good laugh.

Now I know where to send my tummy when it becomes unruly.

BTW, I've been seeing those "Bimbo" trucks around here. Didn't you post a picture of them once on your blog?

Here too, you would think that with so many English speakers around they would ask for help with things like that but no, they prefer that we get comic relief :-)

deep. Yes, the moral excellence is few....is that what they meant? When we don't waste food and our precious resources for our homelands' sake?

keep 'em coming.

Why doesn't China just HIRE someone who knows how to translate properly????
It's so funny, but after awhile translating twice would be annoying!
see ya,

Thank you for the great laugh this morning. I need to share this with my daughter who loves all things to do with language. She had fun in Ireland where they are supposed to speak English. She said half the time she was completely lost.....Your post reminded me of that.
