| I am a big fan of the webiste Engrish.com - it is hilarious! It features examples of badly translated English, found in Asian countries. Here's a sample: On this site, they also have a "Make Your Own Engrish" page (try it yourself here - http://www.engrish.com/create-your-own-engrish/ ) , where you can enter English words/phrases and have them translated to Japanese, then back to English. Sometimes it comes out a bit funny. So , I entered some Elbow lyrics to see what they'd turn into, and here are the results! Some of my youth and all of my senses on overdrive Engrish translation: Overdrive every part of my youth feelingThere's a hole in my neighborhood down which of late I cannot help but fall Engrish translation: Holes, under the second half, I can not help but be, the relevant Dearimasu Tokoro KonDo they know those days are golden? Build a rocket boys! Engrish translation: They have time, you know gold? Birudoroketto, boy!And he talks of people ten years gone like I've known them all my life, like scattered black and whites Engrish translation: And he scattered black and white I have 10 years of consulting the people, so we knew all my lifeI'll be the corpse in your bathtub, useless Engrish translation: I was in your bathtub, you senseless corpse.He's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace Engrish translation: He is free of pressure to really appreciate graceSomeone tell me how I feel, it's silly wrong but vivid right Engrish translation: How can someone I feel it is so bright stupid mistakes You little sod, I love your eyes, be everything to me tonight Engrish translation: Are you a little lawn, all of tonight, I love your eyes.We blew the doors, didn't we? Pissed in their champagne and did a real thing, didn't we? Engrish translation: We blew the doors did not we? Their champagne drunk, we really did not mean that | |
