Lost in Translation

No not the movie with Bill Murray but everyday life when walking around Tianjin.    As with all languages it’s never an exact match when you try and translate.     Most of the signs are picture signs such as the street sign that tells people not to drink and drive - that is a car in a wine glass.    Random signs have both English and Chinese and some of the translation can make you smile or just scratch your head in wonderment….

Greg ran across one sign at the factory “Safety Hatch Prohibition Jamming” --    that sign meant Don’t Block the Entrance.

 

This one is my favorite and means  Stay off the Grass and Stay on the Path
"Grass on Your Smile, Please you around a Winding Road"

 And I am sure the translation is fine but you still have to wonder why…….

 

 

Cheers and Good Travel!
