I've seen signs in Chicago and Minneapolis with Chinese translations... and I've always wondered which ones were wrong.</p> <p>However, I suspect it is rarer to have poor translations here in the US -- because it is easier to find a native Chinese speaker in the US than to find a native English speaker in China. </p> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/check-this-out-engrish-hilarious#post-472865 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 01:48:35 +0000 Economist 472865@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <p>Deep fried &amp; Look like Squirrel. </p> <p>So true...

This is just a blog in which she compiled some jokes from <a href="http://www.Engrish.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.Engrish.com</a>. These are attempts to translate Chinese posts to English in China. They are very funny.</p> <p>For example:<br /> 请不要碰自己。让我们来帮助你尝试“<br /> Translation: "Please don't touch yourself. Let's us help you try out"<br /> when they mean:<br /> "Please ask for assistance" </p>
