Little Bit of Chinglish

These signs posted in a park where I walk made me smile one morning last week. Enjoy!





This one is my favorite!

  4. I'm a little amazed that NONE of them sound right! Is English that hard? They're the ones with the difficult language, right?
    I liked NO Dabble. What does that mean?

  5. I think no dabble means don't play in the water. :-)

  6. Some of those actually sound quite beautiful. I like "Let us grow happily with flowers and grass". And I'm not exactly in a position to criticise, as I don't speak a word of Chinese myself. We do deal with Chinese documentation occasionally but we always have to bring in a professional translation company, it's such a complex language.

    On another note, I was talking to a Chinese friend about the language a while back and she was telling me about the symbol for "love" and how it incorporates the symbol for "heart". I think that's such a lovely thing.
