Agree. Most accurate translation I've seen so far. Original text from twu below.This is probably the MOST literal translation of chinese into english I've ever seen. It is by no means engrish, but the choice of words made me lol'd when I saw it outside an apartment building in Guangzhou during my trip to China in the summer.

I guess this is what they call a "right to the point" translation lol

sir, i have a question, what is "piss off" means in Chinese? and "人山人海" means what in english? LOL
(ID #434179) Posted on 2009/01/03 21:36
The second one means "crowded" Piss off.... well literally, I am not sure despite being a chinese.
(ID #434182) Posted on 2009/01/03 21:39

人山人海 (literally) = People Mountain People Sea it means a lot of people around (the area), or very crowded not sure what you mean by "piss off" though, do you mean what's the term they use for being pissed off?

I don't think there IS a direct translation of "piss off" in Chinese. You can say things that mean "get angry" or "provoke", but it wouldn't have anything to do with urine.

(ID #434146) Posted on 2009/01/03 21:12
haha you can tell it was just a british translator that just couldn't be bothered that day and thought it would be a laugh seeing as people in china probably wouldn't understand at all!
(ID #434642) Posted on 2009/01/04 06:58
lol~, but really it's better if it's literal instead of some mysterious engrish.
(ID #434148) Posted on 2009/01/03 21:12
This was definitely translated by someone who is familiar with the English language.
(ID #434150) Posted on 2009/01/03 21:16

(ID #434168) Posted on 2009/01/03 21:29
Correct translation. XD But it should be a bit bigger, so the people can really see, what they don't have to do. This translation is funny, but on the other hand, they're right, it's no fun to step in dogshit in puplic areas ...

(ID #434293) Posted on 2009/01/03 23:05
I'm totally speechless when I saw the translation, so to speak that is the best way to get the message across apparently.
(ID #434309) Posted on 2009/01/03 23:38
it seems they like to say things straight??
(ID #434356) Posted on 2009/01/04 00:36
Blunt but it tells it as it is with no meaning lost through translation.

I think I've been to Guangzhou before. I can't really remember, but the name sounds familiar. That sign doesn't take any crap and gives it straight out. Good for it.

Talk about being blunt...there's no mistaking the meaning on this one...the guys who hired the translator should keep him/her...he/she is gold...

Props for the beautiful translation, it brought a tear to my eye. Does anyone else notice the inconsistency in the spacing of the words of the translations? Just a weird observation I made about the sign.
