“请在一米线外等候”用英语怎么说？“Please wait without a noodle？”
那些在公共场合惊现的神翻译，有时候真的让我们哭笑不得：
比如“请在一米线外等候”该怎么翻译？
难道是“Please wait without a noodle？”
不对不对！
正确的说法是：Please wait outside the one meter line.
那“油漆未干”怎么又翻译？
Oil Paint Not Dry？额……其实你说Wet Paint（湿的油漆），老外就明白了。
“老弱病残孕专座”怎么翻译？
Special Seats For Elderly，Infirm，Disabled And Pregnant？老外一定会说，怎么这么粗鲁、生硬？对残障人士、老人怎么这么不尊重
？国外类似的情况可不这么说，而是Priority Seating或Courtesy Seat……
不得不说，有时候文化差异给我们带来了一些不便，但是话又说回来啦~~既然是给老外们看的英文提示，还是按照人家的文化习惯来的好~~
