5 Unintentionally Funny Things I Spotted in China
During my time teaching English in China, I often saw dubious English translations and unfortunate or funny mistakes.
I snapped them with my phone for future giggles and here’s a selection.
This was on the shelf in the local store,. Every man should have one!
There were always bicycles parked at the school where I worked and a couple caught my eye..
You can’t get on Facebook in China (It’s blocked by the government) but strangely, you can get on a “Facebike”!
And this is perhaps.. transportation for someone who lost their license for drink driving?..
This English school appears to not want to raise your expectations too high..
And this English book for kids.. appears to suggest some odd and lewd behaviour in public!
LMAO! 😂 More accurate translation for the ball hair trimmer should be fur ball clipper. It is also known as fabric defuzzer in the West.
That first one is awesome
You've got me beat.
I live in Beijing and I've seen some mistakes (usually spelling, like "norst" instead of "north," and a PSA declaring that an upcoming event would take place on "the 12nd off Apirl"), but nothing as hilarious as the song lyrics or "Vague Success learning Center."
That was a laugh.
Glad you got a kick out of them. I lived in Beijing for over 3 years, great place, are you ready for the winter smog?
No one is ever prepared for winter smog in Gray-jing. But on the bright side, the "People's Government" has promised that the smog will not be as bad this year. Some optimists predict the average daily AQI may even be as low as 500. Admittedly, that is an improvement from a week of consecutive 4-digit AQI readings two years ago.
This brought a smile to my face. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to be of service :D
