This is funny.
A credit would have been nice.
@Liuzhou Laowai,
Is that yours? I came across it on MITBBS as an attachment to a post, no link.
Well, maybe they can touch up the sign, and call it “Food server”.
About credits, I can help you : IT’S MINE !!! I first posted it on facebook, then people apparently spread it around.
Taken on a stop along Beijing-Taiyuan expressway in June 2008.
And, oh, yes, that’s 50 bucks to use it. Need any additional info?
Excellent, and very true. Buxi, you guys should market out your site if you are getting the traffic. A couple of ads here and there to get some money on the side.
Small world, thanks Samfu!
I’m pretty sure Samfu is joking. But then again.. these are entrepreneurial days. Worst case, I’ll have to go into paint and draw my own artistic interpretation of the above image. 🙂
As far as ads… I don’t think anyone will thank us for it! And if money was the goal, I’d just stop blogging and get more productive at work. 🙂
…. I didn’t get it. How did restaurant got translated into “translation server error”?
I would guess someone was trying to translate online, and the translator had a glitch, and the someone thought the error message was the translation.
@Coyoty
Thanks for the explanation. That’s probably what happened.
Samfu: How about donating the picture to Wikipedia under for example a Creativ Commons attributions licence? It would be great to have the picture at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engrish
@Samfu Im pretty sure that was a joke since if you posted it on facebook… well then you gave away the copyright..
hahaha
No joke, this is my friends families restaurant. They were translating English to Chinese and this came up for their restaurant. I didn’t think it was this popular!
