POOR TRANSLATIONS FROM ENGLISH TO JAPANESE FILMS ``` * I am **** unsatisfied to be killed in this way. * Fatty, you with your thick face have hurt my instep. * A normal person wouldn't steal pituitaries. * Take my advice, or I'll spank you without pants. * Who gave you the nerve to get killed here? * Quiet or I'll blow your throat up. * You always use violence. I should've ordered glutinous rice chicken. * I'll fire aimlessly if you don't come out! * Beat him out of recognizable shape! * Beware! Your bones are going to be disconnected. * How can you use my intestines as a gift? ``` MIS-TRANSLATED PRODUCTS On a blanket from Taiwan: NOT TO BE USED AS PROTECTION FROM A TORNADO On a Sears hairdryer: DO NOT USE WHILE SLEEPING On a Korean kitchen knife: WARNING KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN On a string of Chinese-made Christmas lights: FOR INDOOR OR OUTDOOR USE ONLY On a Japanese food processor: NOT TO BE USED FOR THE OTHER USE On a Swedish chainsaw: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP CHAIN WITH YOUR HANDS OR GENITALS ---

HAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAA. My friend once told me that the english subtitles on Chinese movies are the wrong translation a lot. He is chinese so he knows what they are really saying, and it doesn’t fit what the subtitles say. ---

i love that stuff. i was in japan last year and got a razor from a hotel. the package said, “Have a great shaving for your fresh life!” on a bottle of milk tea (like ice tea with milk), something like, “like a rose, our tea brings color and beauty to your life” ---

The christmas lights one is totally true. All the christmas light packages I have ever bought say for indoor or outdoor use only. ---

omg! you have a chinese friend? COOL the translations are often wrong! I’ve noticed lately that when I watch TV (a film or sth) I always do both: listen to the english voices/sounds, stuff and read the subtitles. I’ve noticed that EVERY number that has been translated is wrong! ALWAYS! I just whatch the movie and when sumebody says a number then suddenly I’m thinking “wtf, the number is wrong! Stupid… who the heck translated it? did he get paid? I wanna translate those movies too If I get paid for it! At least I’ll do it right!” 🙂 ---

i get great real life examples all the time. let’s see… one time she sent me email about a problem with her computer. it seems something was wrong with her “eye-cons” 🙂 i was getting discouraged about something i was trying to do. she said, “Hang up!” i gave her a strange look, and she thought for a second and said, “wait…Hang in there!” on an opportunity we missed out on…“gone with the window” i can laugh at her because she laughs much harder at the stuff i come up with when i speak japanese. ---
