Day 164: “Or have a sex”

Published on Friday, September 26, 2008 in Blog.

Was browsing through ShanghaiExpat’s forums today and found this gem. I’ll attempt to translate it into Chinese.

hi, my name is mike, a chinese man, 34, i am here to find a forgein woman who likes to hang out with me, or have a sex if it’s alright for her.

你好，我叫MIKE，中国人，三十四岁。我希望在这里找一个外国女人陪我逛逛，或者上床如果她愿意。

to be perfectly honest i am married, my wife is studying abroad…

说实话，我是一个已婚男子。我的妻子在国外学习。

sex is not the only thing i can think of, in fact, i am really into american english, i would love to have female friends only for this purpose, and i could teach her chinese as a reward.

我不是只想到上床。其实，我很喜欢美国英语，我也很希望只为这个目的交女性朋友。作为回报我可以教她中文。

if you are interested, send a message to —

如果感兴趣，发送邮件到－－－。

(To English learners, this guy’s grammar is poor so don’t use this post to learn English.)

After receiving some mockery:

your westerns seem like much opener? i guess i am damned wrong, cheating sucks, can we forget about the sex part?

我以为你们西方人非常开放。原来我错了。作弊是不好。我们能不能把上床那部分忘了吧?

but i am not a bad man, believe it or not, you wouldn’t regret to meet me if you still wanted to, i mean, for language learning part

我不是一个坏人，相信与否。如果你还有兴趣与我会面，你不会后悔的。我意思是为了学习语言那部分。

But of course the beating continues. Enjoy! Actually I feel they went pretty easy on him.

Today’s lesson: “Hang out with me, or have a sex” is not a good pickup line!

Day 160: Love is like defecation

Published on Monday, September 22, 2008 in Blog.

My coworker though I finished translating our company booklet from Chinese to English in only a few days. The truth is I paid my friend to do it. Why did I do that? Because she’s much better than me at translating. See the above pic? She frickin’ translated it on her blog!

我的同事以为我几天就把公司样本翻译成英文了。其实是我朋友翻译得。为什么给她翻译？因为我想让最好的译者翻译公司的样本。你看上面的图片。她居然把它翻译成英文！

Love is like defecation,
you can’s stop it when it comes.
Love is like defecation,
when flushes, it would never come back.
Love is like defecation,
it’s different every time.
Love is like defecation,
Great effort sometimes only ends up in a fart.

Cool huh? Original post is here.

还不错, 对不啦？原来的在这。
