Most Accurate Translation Ever
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.

sir, i have a question, what is "piss off" means in Chinese?
and "人山人海" means what in english? LOL
Student

The second one means "crowded"
Piss off.... well literally, I am not sure despite being a chinese.

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.

Absolutely loving this, if I saw this I'm sure people would be staring at me for laughing histerically at a signpost.

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!

lol~, but really it's better if it's literal instead of some mysterious engrish.

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 ...

LOL, guess where the translator learned his English from... I hate to say this but, I guess he doesn't know the difference between formal and informal English.

I'm totally speechless when I saw the translation, so to speak that is the best way to get the message across apparently.

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.

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.
