do not know why to use “haveacow” to mean ” very angry. ” In fact, “havekittens” is the same meaning Oh!

“myass” (intent : my ass) is a tool that the words on the other side does not believe the strong language. Much like the Chinese word “strange!” “Head it!” Kind of thing. There are girls in the “ass” front of a “little”, from “mylittleass” (my ass), but also quite lovely.

Universiade will welcome athletes from around the world and visitors, city services, bilingual identity is reflected most directly in the window. Yesterday, the city Tourism travel coordination and management style at the invitation of foreign teachers and the media, a large deep into the Window of the World and Splendid China Folk Culture Village, unannounced visits, found that bilingual area identified a syntax error, misnomer, talking and other conditions.
travel coordination and management of the Director Chen Biao, as early as March and April of this year, City Sports and Tourism Bureau on the various tourism authorities, the tourist attractions issued “on the tourist areas (spots) civilized behavior to persuade tourists to carry out activities to inform “and” on the city tourism industry, public places and facilities to carry out the bilingual identity correction update action, “which called in the entrance area, ticket window and other eye-catching display of” civilized domestic travel of Chinese citizens behavior of the Convention, “billboards, and arrange for staff to advise visitors to civilization. At the same time, requiring enterprises to develop tourism facilities in public places and bilingual identity checking and correcting themselves, and ask to download from the Foreign Affairs Office to compile the “Shenzhen English translation of bilingual signs in public places rules and implementation guidelines.”
the unannounced visits, to investigate the implementation area. Window of the World Universiade closing ceremony is the seat of Splendid China Folk Culture Village is the Universiade official tourist attractions. Yesterday 9:30 pm, unannounced visits to group first came to the Window of the World, the main “proof” is a deep cultural tourism and cultural faculty Jie Yun Department of foreign teachers and foreign language, English literature, Dr. EdwardLeMay.
Still reading the instructions I do not know
as it is not the weekend, fewer passengers, the order in an orderly, “unannounced visits to the group” will focus on bilingual signage on.
“Chinese citizens conventions of civilized behavior, domestic tourism,” placed in the ticket window on the world square on the left window and check from the “Ticket Information” beginning of a let the eyes of EdwardLeMay uncovered many errors. “Half” should be “halfprice”, was written “halfcharged”. “Ticket, shall face to face point clear,” English “toticketseller face” is “clear vote in the conductor face point, section,” the conductor so much embarrassment.
EdwardLeMay more carefully, every check must be in English. Into the area, using the notes of a bicycle so that he confused many grammatical errors. In a shop selling fresh coconut before, Conditions reminded “coconut is sold, and then broke open the shell without, inconvenience, please understand,” Chinese is not difficult to understand, and following the English, in the end agree to open shell , or do not agree, three lines of notes in the heads of state, did not say understand English.
visits found that almost all the “Notes” logo are bilingual, but English text is more or less grammatical errors, so I lied.
Tips to bring discrimination
About understand the signs, if the word appeared in a few typos, as people feel then. In the Window area, the “Indian holy well” in the “Indian” was translated into “IHDIA” (should be INDIA). Some, such as the Eiffel Tower, Katsura Imperial Villa in Japan and other names, there are “not professional” situation, or “superfluous” or “Chinese interpreter.”
short Tips has many problems. A smoke-Tips brand, the cigarettes are being translated into “clgarette” (should be the cigarette). (Southern Metropolis Daily www.nddaily.comSouthernMetropolisDailyMark Southern Network)
“the wrong English words, not only unprofessional, but also may cause unnecessary misunderstanding.” Wen Jie Yun deep teacher said, Splendid China Folk Culture Village ticket window on the description of people with disabilities with “deformed”, the word that deformity, very wrong with the term describes people with disabilities, there is an insult meaning, the right should be “disa-bled”.
a window on the world Tips let EdwardLeMay very puzzled. “Lake slippery, do not playing in the water” in the “swimming” is used “Babbling (meaning chatter)” explain “the ground wet, you can not talk?”
Not read poetry menus
Chinese dish is often poetic, but to use English to express, perhaps only confused. Folk Culture Village in a restaurant, EdwardLeMay pointing a “Ivory mussels steamed with garlic fans,” its meaning is unknown, dish translated as “Garlicfanssteamedgeo-duck”, actually “fans” does not mean you can eat the fans, but fanatics , people.
yesterday, Folk Culture Village, responsible person, name of the dish does have a translation of the difficulty of translation too straight no mood, not directly but worry not read. EdwardLeMay scene Weapon, due to cultural differences, translation is as simple and clear, accurate words you can, it can be so large that the dish is translated: steamedclamswithgarlicandnoodles.

pointed out many problems for the experts, Window of the World area signage to explain the responsible person, 17 years is based on area GB to go, perhaps substandard foreign language, it is inevitable that Chinese English there. Window of the World director Feng Gang, currently invested 100 million yuan to the area of ??bilingual signage for transformation, the transformation will be completed by the end of July. Transformation process, mainly to improve the appearance of signage, the existence of English language difficult to regulate the problem, hope expert ideas.
Window unannounced visits and the situation is different, Splendid China Folk Culture Village fewer problems identified in English, but the individual history of introduction to be fine. The party secretary Wang Gang, introduced the bilingual identity area just checked and modified. In the entrance area, in addition to the English tourist maps are revised printing, but also for people in China, Japan and Korean versions. Recent machines are plans to produce a bilingual guide the placement of signs and smoking areas. (Southern Metropolis Daily www.nddaily.comSouthernMetropolisDailyMark Southern Network)
prick for specialists, area experts to Weapon hopes to correct non-standard bilingual identity. Two unannounced visits to specialists will be identified with the Window of the World 1 million yuan reform the bilingual program, designed for text prick.
yesterday, coordination and management of tourism Chen Biao Director introduced the next 52 will be designated for the Universiade hotel bilingual identity checks.
