As everyone knows, the Beijing 2008Summer Olympics is just mere months away.
The Central Government has been relentlesslyclamping down on the usage of terrible english as Chinese Folksmassacre the language into some Muthusamy Rojak!
--------------------------------------
The Chinglish horror begins at the Beijing Airportas EMERGENCY EXITS read "No entry on peacetime"
We have to thank GOD it's always wartime!
A road sign on Beijing's Avenue of Eternal Peacewarns of a dangerous pavement with these funny words:"To Take Notice of Safe; The Slippery are Very Crafty".
WOW...And what more, to make matters and appetites worse,menus frequently list items such as "Corrugated iron beef","Government abuse chicken" and "Chop the strange fish".
Ok, i want some hexy germs and fucking fishes...
Corrugated already makes me want to puke...
--------------------------------------
A BIG JOKE!
Chinglish has become a running joke among manyforeigners in China, and several websites have beenset up listing humorous examples of mistranslation.
--------------------------------------
WHY CHINGLISH?
The mistranslations arise because many Chinesewords express concepts obliquely and can be interpretedin multiple ways, making translation a minefieldfor non-English speakers.
--------------------------------------
LOST IN TRANSLATION
Yes ok, I brought my crotch guard too...
Too Explicit. Yes, I'm thinking dirty...
OH! They demonstrate Air Purifiers? Where's the food?
SHHHHHHHHH! NO LOUDING!
Oh, that river... i didn't know that.
--------------------------------------SO HOW?
Well, fret not! The Beijing authorities have decided tohand out new translation guides to tourists later this yearto help them out with their chinglish woes.
A HOTLINE will also be established forpeople to tip off bad usage of englishand have the bloody signs wrecked apart.But, oh, I love the signs. It just makes China, well... China,just like how our dear Singlish is unique to Singapore!
I LOVE SINGLISH! SHIOK AH!
So, I've come to the end of my post and if you're still dyingto see more photos, just go online and just type...
CHINGLISHon google search of course......and you'll have tons to laugh about!
