1 | Chinese City Invites Web Users to Correct Its ‘Chinglish’ | Tanàna Sinoa Iray Manasa Ireo Mpampiasa Aterineto Hitsara ny ‘Chinglish’-ny |
2 | An image search of the term “Chinglish” in any search engine bring up page after page of public signs in China poorly translated into English. | Ny fikarohana ny fomba fiteny hoe “Chinglish” any anatin'ireny fitaovana fikarohana ireny dia mampiseho pejy mifanesy ahitana tarehin-tsoratra Sinoa tsy voadika tsara amin'ny teny Anglisy. [Fanamarihana: ny Chinglish dia azo avy amin'ny fanambàrana ny teny Chinese + English] |
3 | “Chinese language blog”, in its post titled “20 Hilarious Chinglish Signs”, pointed out that “Chinglish” is a product of direct translation attempts: | “bilaogy momba ny teny Sinoa”, anatin'ny lahatsorany antsoina hoe “tarehin-tsoratra Chinglish 20 mahalatsaky ny fihomehezana”, dia namaritra fa ny “Chinglish” dia vokatry ny fikasana hanao dika mivantana : |
4 | An example of Chinglish from Wikipedia. | Ohatrana Chinglish avy ao amin'ny Wikipedia. |
5 | The original meaning is when there are thunderstorms / please do not climb the mountain. | Ny dikany tena izy dia hoe “rehefa misy kotro-baratra / miangavy anao tsy hianika ny tendrombohitra”. |
6 | But the Chinglish sign says “Lighting-prone area/ Please do not climbing.” | Nefa ny Chinglish dia milaza “faritra misy jiro/ Aza iakarana.” |
7 | Trying to translate Chinese directly into English will give you sentences such as “I very like play basketball” (我很喜欢打篮球 - wǒ hěn xǐ huan dǎ lán qiú) or “I with my friend together have dinner” (我跟我的朋友一起吃晚饭 - wǒ gēn wǒ de péng yǒu yī qǐ chī wǎn fàn). | Ny fiezahanao handika mivantana ny teny Sinoa ho amin'ny teny Anglisy dia hanome fehezanteny tahaka ny “I very like play basketball” (izaho tia tena milalao basketra)(我很喜欢打篮球 - wǒ hěn xǐ huan dǎ lán qiú) na koa “I with my friend together have dinner” (izaho miaraka sy ny namako misakafo) (我跟我的朋友一起吃晚饭 - wǒ gēn wǒ de péng yǒu yī qǐ chī wǎn fàn). |
8 | Other times, it is a result of trying to directly translate Chinese words for foreign things. | Indraindray, vokatry ny fikasana handika mivantana ireo teny Sinoa ho an'ireo zavatra avy any ivelany izany. |
9 | That's why I've had students ask me about “Christmas old man” (圣诞老人 - shèng dàn lǎo rén - Santa Claus) and the “fire chicken” (火鸡 - huǒ jī - turkey). | Izany no antony mahatonga ahy manana mpianatra manontany momba ny “Lahy antitry ny Krismasy” (圣诞老人 - shèng dàn lǎo rén - Dadabe Noely) sy ny “akoho may” (火鸡 - huǒ jī - vorontsiloza). |
10 | There have been several attempts in the past to wipe out Chinglish in major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai ahead of international events like the 2008 Olympics and 2009 World Expo. | Nisy ireo ezaka maro tany aloha hampanjavonana ny Chinglish any amin'ireo tanàn-dehibe tahaka an'i Beijing sy Shanghai manoloana ireo hetsika tahaka ny Olaimpika 2008 sy ny Fampirantiana Eran-tany 2009. |
11 | However, the campaigns were not very effective. | Na izany aza anefa, tsy dia nisy vokany loatra ireo hetsi-panentanana ireo. |
12 | But one city is giving it another go. | Fa misy tanàna iray te-hanetsika izany indray. |
13 | Shenzhen has come up with an idea to wipe out incorrect English signs by inviting netizens to take picture of incorrect signs and post it to Weibo and Wechat with a tag @Shenzhen campaign E (@深圳E行動). | Nanan-kevitra ny hanaisotra ireo tarehin-tsoratra Anglisy diso i Shenzhen amin'ny alalan'ny fanasana ireo mpampiasa aterineto haka sary ireo tarehin-tsoratra diso ireo ary hamoaka izany ao amin'ny Weibo sy Wechat miaraka amin'ny teny famantarana @Shenzhen campaign E (@深圳E行動). |
14 | According to local TV news report [zh], there are more than 7.8 foreign tourists visiting Shenzhen every year and about one million of them will stay in Shenzhen for more than six months. | Araka ny tati-baovaon'ny TV any an-toerana [zh], maherin'ny 7.8 tapitrisa isan-taona ireo vahiny mpizahatany mitsidika an'i Shenzhen ary iray tapitrisa amin'izy ireo no hijanona ao Shenzhen mandritra ny enim-bolana mahery. |
15 | About 20,000 foreigners have obtained residence visas and settled in the city. | Manodidina ny 20.000 ireo vahiny nahazo fahazoan-dàlana honina ka nipetraka tao amin'ilay tanàna. |
16 | To prepare for the development of the future modern service cooperation zone in Qianhai, the city has been planning to provide a more favorable policy, such as tax exemptions, work opportunities and better living environment, to attract foreigners. | Hikarakarana ny fivoaran'ilay faritra maoderina fiaraha-miasa sy fanomezana tolotra any Qianhai, nikasa ny hanome politika tsaratsara kokoa ny tanàna, tahaka ny tsy fakàna hetra, tolotr'asa ary fari-piainana tsara kokoa, mba hisarihana ireo vahiny. |
17 | The campaign was launched by Shenzhen's Foreign Affairs Office on September 26, 2013 and it will last for two months. | Natomboky ny Biraon'ny Raharaha Ivelany ao Shenzhen ity hetsi-panentanana ity ny 26 Septambra 2013 ary haharitra roa volana. |
18 | Participants are encouraged to send pictures to the campaign office via email, Weibo and Wechat and provide information about the location of the sign, the details of the mistake and their contact details. | Ampirisihana ireo mpandray anjara handefa sary any amin'ny biraon'io hetsi-panentanana io amin'ny alalan'ny mailaka, Weibo sy Wechat ary hanome fampahalalana momba ny toerana nangalana ilay sary, ireo antsipirian'ny hadisoana sy ny mety hahafahana mifandray amin'izy ireo. |
19 | They will be awarded with certificates, a Chinese-English Dictionary and free English training classes. | Homena taratasy fanamarinana/fankasitrahana, Rakibolana Sinoa-Anglisy ary fanofanana mianatra teny Anglisy maimaim-poana izy ireo. |
20 | Even though the campaign was widely reported in major local newspapers and TV news channels and campaign posters were put up in schools [zh], judging from the reactions [zh] from Weibo, Chinese netizens are not very enthusiastic. | Na dia naparitaka tanatin'ireo gazety lehibe tao an-toerana sy ireo fantsom-baovaon'ny fahitalavitra aza io hetsi-panoherana io, ary na dia napetaka tany an-tsekoly [zh] aza ireo peta-drindrina, dia toa tsy miraika firy amin'ilay izy ireo Sinoa mpampiasa aterineto, araka ireo fihetseham-po [zh] hita avy ao amin'ny Weibo. |
21 | In fact the top post about the details of the Campaign E has zero response. | Raha ny marina dia tsy nahazo na valinteny iray aza ilay lahatsoratra voalohany momba ireo antsipirian'ilay hetsi-panentanana “Campaign E”. |
