Say What?!

Myles after getting home from work: I found an interesting bug today.
Carly: Really?! What did it look like? Did it bite you?!

He also found some really interesting features of a computer part he ordered in the mail straight from China:

1. chip-wide design, not more secure smooth hand injury.
2. The new chip manufacturing more durable.
3. Complete packaging and accessories, but also beautiful and practical.
4. More multi-purpose card, failure to master more convenient.
5. Sound alarm.
6. Super compatibility.
7. Fault can only diagnostics.
8. China has been large-scale IT companies to choose from, more quality assured.

Mmm...and people wonder why it's taking us so long to finish! Not to mention that his power supply literally burned up the same week (for the second time).

So, keep those prayers coming, and if someone is looking for a job in Chinese translation, I think you could (or should) send in that resume!

I'd comment, but I didn't understand a single word of what you just said. So,...I guess it was not good. So, good luck!

That's frustrating.

There's a list of mistranslated labels floating around on the internet somewhere. Have you read it?

My favorite one is a label on a set of knives:

"Keep out of children."

We're thinking of ya and praying for you. I'm sure it'll all end up well. It's just too bad that it all has to come down to the wire.
