something lost in translation?

BRILLIANT BEIJING HOTEL BROCHURE

TRANSLATED AS ONLY THEY CAN
A friend went to Beijing recently and was given this brochure by the hotel.
She is keeping it and reading it whenever she feels depressed.
It seems that it has been translated word for word from Mandarin into English.



Getting There
Our representative will make you wait at the airport. The bus to the hotel runs along the lake shore. Soon you will feel pleasure in passing water. You will know that you are getting near the hotel, because you will go round the bend. The manager will await you in the entrance hall. He always tries to have intercourse with all new guests.

The Hotel
This is a family hotel, so children are very welcome. We of course are always pleased to accept adultery. Highly skilled nurses are available in the evenings to put down your children. Guests are invited to conjugate in the bar and expose themselves to others. But please note that ladies are not allowed to have babies in the bar. We organize social games, so no guest is ever left alone to play with them self.

The Restaurant
Our menus have been carefully chosen to be ordinary and unexciting. At dinner, our quartet will circulate from table to table, and fiddle with you.

Your Room
Every room has excellent facilities for your private parts. In winter, every room is on heat. Each room has a balcony offering views of outstanding obscenity! You will not be disturbed by traffic noise, since the road between the hotel and the lake is used only by pederasts.

Bed
Your bed has been made in accordance with local tradition. If you have any other ideas please ring for the chambermaid. Please take advantage of her. She will be very pleased to squash your shirts, blouses and underwear. If asked, she will also squeeze your trousers.

Above All
When you leave us at the end of your holiday, you will have no hope. You will struggle to forget it.

It was probably translated AND interpreted by someone whose 1st language is Farsi to boot.

Larry, why would you say such a thing?

Did Fox tell you that?

When it comes to Commerce, its not even close......

GDP by Country (2012):

China................$8,358,400
USA................$16,244,600


GDP per person (2012)

China...............$6,569 (85th in World)
USA...............$52,839 (9th in world)

Larry, by any standard, the but being "kicked" is not ours.

Not too long ago, I left a wake-up call in a Ningbo, China hotel.
Very promptly, at the assigned time, the room telephone rang.
I still laugh everytime I think of it.

The only works spoken in a loud voice were: "YOU WAKE UP NOW!"
