蹩脚的英文翻译让人爆笑


CCTV 4曾报道,不少饭馆在菜单上把“四喜丸子”译成了“Four Happy Meat Balls”。这种译法也让人爆笑!:D

Seriously,这个译法让人爆笑的同时也记住了这道菜。我以前有个老师,是个严肃的中国英语迷,她说中国英语很迷人。这种思路我倒是觉得也有它的道理,不能完全一笑了之。

To ev'rywhere I go, always with my little thing. Mar 8, 2008

关于Chinglish发生的原因,这位老外观察分析得蛮有趣;一言以蔽之:“中学为体,西学为用”的具体结果。

"Don't forget to carry your thing." 这让我想到在德国某城市的地下铁看到的广告语:
Ich geh' überall hin, mit meinem kleinen Ding.
