Funny English translations to some signs in China

Funny_LaughThink China is ready for International tourists in 2008 Olympics Game? Think again :-). Today, I got an email forwarded by one of my co-workers with some funny pictures (as the below). It is fun to read them and of course a little sad as well. Can we be more readproof in designing these signs, or just we do not care. Have fun!

By the way, you can read more similar humorous photos from Engrish.com. (That is right, it is Engrish, not English)

Man, are you sure today you are wearing Scotland costume?

Oh yeah, this is a fitting room not your private bedroom. But, you know what? you can do it, we can help.

Not sure this is a real photo or not, since in Mainland, China. No ‘Fuk’ in the pronunciation.

Just leave, buddy, do not ever look back what you have done.

Because it is free, do not mean it can not be treasure.

Now I finally know what these cave men had been doing back centuries ago.

Yes, please dial 110, if, just big if, your phone is not stolen with you.

enrigsh16

You know what, this is the only translation I think as a good one. Its humor was expressed as exactly what the original Chinese meant.

Shhhhh…. no French kissing, please!

enrigsh18

If you want to fall down, please do what we suggested CAREFULLY!

enrigsh19 

Take care, see you under the water.

If you do not fell well, do not worry. You can throw up anything now.

enrigsh21

Hi, foreign guys, we know what you are COMING FOR!

Use you hand, I already told you million times, use you hand, man. The fish will bite you and your… you know.

  1. 1 Sin Yau Hang

    The picture in number 3 is not funny. It just”Fuk Man Road”. It is not using putonghua. It is using Chinese (Cantonese).It just translate directly from the Cantonese pronunciation. If it is in mainland China, it should be “Fu Min Road”

    I agree, that is why I said the sign should not be found in mainland.
