Translation FAILS: Chinese English Signs

and to make things worse there's there's a wire right I saw that a live wire just running under it why does that sign need a wire like what is it stuck to that maybe this is for an ex they're executing that sign hey everyone welcome to learn Chinese now I'm Jared Madson and as always we have Ben Hedges with us hey guys so Ben how's it going pretty good okay so today we are going to be reading signs okay from China uh or from Taiwan that also include English Okay okay so we're going to check them out and we're going to try and figure out reverse translate go back see if we can figure out what the CH what the signs are actually saying see if we have a better way to translate I don't know maybe it's a perfect translation we never know now you have not seen any of these yet I have Okay so let's dive in Fall Down carefully fall down care in Google Translate or something right well obviously like means fall down means means sorry it means be careful and then schal just literally means to fall down so I guess this is saying be careful of falling down but they've just sort of literally be careful of falling down probably we'd say slippery one wet but you want to know what I I have to hand it to them they didn't directly translate if they directly translated it would have been carefully fall down no it' be small heart falling down right so they didn't they didn't do small heart fall down fall down carefully all right so that's how I figured we'd start this by Falling like a computer translated that I think that's what they would come out with it's probably a computer that translated it yeah Google translate we'll go with that [Laughter] right deformed to we don't we don't have a picture of the toilet it might be a deformed toilet this might be totally accurate it a weird shaped toilet maybe it could be okay well obvious I mean Tangen means like a disabled person somebody who's disabled right right so I don't know where they got the translation though of Tangi rer deformed maybe that's in the dictionary tan could you yeah it's not if you just do Tangi would it say that would it say say would it say deform I don't think so I maybe this is somebody who thinks they know a thing or two and uh you know you got me I I'll translate it I got the good English no no don't put disabled no no no that's not what people actually say and then yeah so what's this what's that P yeah p p hot and egg yolk parties hot and egg yolk parties okay well I mean that's potato pieces isn't it right yeah and potato pieces or or french fries sometimes or like all right french fries yeah yeah Danang is egg egg egg yolks egg Yol and then P pie you can use it to say like political party or dang Pai or P they say for party right it's like a literal according to the translation according to the the sound of it so but but in this situation you this probably is a reverse from English so Pi would mean like a Patty that's what I'm thinking they're trying to say it's it's borrowing the English word and using a Chinese sound that sounds like it and then it's reversed back and then they revers then they revers the whole thing back missed a few things and added some things parties instead of patties so parties instead of patties so like french fries and egg Yol patties yeah hot so and they're hot it doesn't say hot in Chinese it doesn't say hot could be cold could be could be warm and my guess is is the character got they're thinking Sho as in like summer heat right like like that so holiday yeah okay sure yeah yeah yeah so it does mean it does mean hot but just not but you want to know what I tell you if I saw a sign that said hot and egg yolk parties I'd go in there that sounds good to me I'm sticking with this translation I see Zero problems I also love how they didn't cut out the white on the on the p and the o oh there's no point in doing that it's a party why why put so much effort in all right what's this one okay bright glasses shop with honesty I mean that's very honest translation solid translation right yeah is this in Taiwan this looks like Taiwan this uh okay maybe maybe maybe oh no it's not it's not uh it's Gena so maybe it's not I don't know or is it Gena yeah no this this would be this is probably mainland China right so I mean yeah so chunin means honest um mingang is bright and Y is glasses so it is correct but it is correct just doesn't really have a good ring to it in English does it bright classes shop with hesty okay so here's the question if we were to translate oh yeah for this store yeah this store gives us this translation we're like ah they pay us they pay us right they pay us good good money so that we have to take it seriously I mean like the honest bright spectacle store or something like still sounds kind of funny right that still sounds Asian all right so honest bright glasses shop yeah honest bright eyewear yeah I don't know that's a rough one to translate I mean the meaning is there but I would just pick an alternative English name sometimes you got to do that you can't directly translate something have the same ring to it Sammy spectacles and just call it good at that something like that that's good yeah or honest spectacles forget bright you know okay egg oh that one they just misspelled it anyway that's a that's a simple mistake the T should be a d That's all that happened yeah the D should be a t I'm sorry yeah the D should be a t not egg Dart egg tart is what it now this is probably in Chinatown because that says 70 cents right there the price the price is 70 I think I recognize that name even maybe it's in ch new should go go there sometime and help them with their signs that would be that would be a good video it if they give us some free egg to egg then maybe go and they look delicious though and that's all that really matters okay what do we got here okay okay so do not use is that M or what is that so do not use the elevator on fire so I don't see anything wrong with that sign well if the elevator the elevator's on fire don't use it I wouldn't use it yeah I would not quite what the Chinese is saying but you want to know what so what the Chinese is saying is what sh so when there is a fire emergency when there's a fire CH please do not use please do not use do not use the elevator on fire so they sort of got it maybe this is another Google translate it kind of means if do not use the elevator on fire I don't know I think Google translate would have done a better job of it actually so maybe this just some some dude some dude who's like some dude I got the good the elevator's on fire this should be common sense but let's put up a sign just to make sure all the egg tards they don't no egg tards okay okay food snack organ food sack food sack organ Kindred Kindred that's right okay I'm I'm a little confused by this one why didn't you explain it to us or do you understand wow do I even understand sure okay okay sure is food yeah C to wash T would be like the these pots and pans hereu that's like your relatives or your your clan I guess so Kindred kind of you can see how they got that from Kindred okay Kindred it's like it's like you know for the family you know but Sac organs oh I see oh like Chu right like okay so that's where the organ came from CH no Chan right musical instruments oh Oran as in bodily orans this one's throwing us for a loop that's what I was thinking yeah so no it is it would be C how do you get sack from C I don't know washing rinsing a wash sack I'd call it pots that wash easily for your home use or something like that that doesn't even sound good that sounds what are they even selling though are they selling this pot or is this like a no it's got to be the pots right oh I don't know I think the product is down here right is it like a a sponge maybe it is maybe it is a Sac organ that washes your pots maybe this is a perfect translation we don't know what we're talking about you want to know what I bet you if we could see further down we'd see some sort of Sac org it make that for your home right for your Kindred it would all make sense would it would all make sense all right we're missing in that and it's only 889 cents oh bargain oh you move that and I just saw fragrant bowel fragrant bowel so I would say this is a menu okay four $4 as well 4en four yep uh so what does it say uh yeah it's ch is a little hard to read uh CH oh sausage oh okay right this is this is just direct translation it is isn't it yeah CU means fragrant fragant means like intese the the the skin around English we call it sausage but in Chinese they call it fragrant intestines or at this fine establishment fragrant bowel bowel so a little bit further along the intestine than you would like huh apparently apparently [Music] okay I think I've seen this one before the toilet is out of use please go to the museum yeah this one's not this one's not as as bad it you know if it said please go in the museum in the museum or use the you know so it means um the toilet in the park is out of use right right if you need a toilet go to the tangu the museum does that mean Museum well that doesn't even mean mum the sightseeing area the sightseeing area the toilet is out of use please go to the sightseeing area that's even worse they cleaned it up and said and let's put Museum that's a little bit more private I know how they got Museum maybe maybe that's like an alternative translation of I don't know it must be at a museum oh maybe yeah it's probably at a museum so the guy was like no let's just let's just put Museum it's fine it's good enough yeah that's what they did it's good enough it had to be that right yeah execution in progress execution in progress they are executing something right there is execution Happening Now execution in progress I mean obviously they mean execution of some sort of project right right so that's that's it's construction work it's construction work that's how that's what they're they're saying there there's construction it does sound a B construction zone something like that yeah uh but yeah execution progress and to make things worse there's there's a wire right I saw that a live wire just running under it why does that sign need a wire like what is it stuck to that maybe this is for an ex they're executing that sign yeah so work in progress would probably be the the sign wouldn't it construction work in progress or something construction work in progress that sounds about right men working yeah something like that execution in progress no not so not so much all right all right so that's so that's the execution has uh finished and here we are I hope you guys have learned something about uh you know good English or how to trans translate Chinese into English yeah yeah and we learned a little Chinese along the way I think so we did a little bit I um what did I learn I don't know I don't know if we learned anything today honestly all right so uh that's it for today we'll see you all next time say j j [Music] n
