Lost in Translation

"The Edge" in The Oregonian today contained this tidbit:

Officials in Beijing have announced plans to correct some of the city's bilingual signs, including a sign identifying the Park of Ethnic Minorities as "Racist Park" and a sign warning about the hazards of a wet road that reads, "The slippery are very crafty."

This reminded me of a picture Chris took on his recent trip to Shanghai:



The sign reads:

Raise the environment consciousness,
Protect the fine home
Add the green one for the JinQiao,
Make living many penny warm and fragrant
