Interesting . . . wonder what they mean by "bowel management"? Maybe
they've been regular on R.A.T. . . . (sorry) Gotta admit though, their grasp of English is a helluva lot better than mine is of Mandarian!

"In order to strive for the markets share , we also aggrandizement the bowel management ,consummating the technology development ,quality testing , marketing , and after sales service , which has enhance the work efficiency and compete ability ." Yes, there are english language words used, no doubt about that, but I have some doubts if the author had the slightest idea of what he was saying. But I hear that his son attends a progessive school, and when he grows up, his english will be 20 dB more comprehensible. There is a picture of the chassis underside which looks positively rugged. I think in 20 years, the asians will mature in their approach. I probably will be a puff of smoke floating around, and their market presence may completely dominate at all levels. Patrick Turner.

I hate to say that, but wait until you can write Chinese as good as their English, then might be you can laugh at them. Sure there are a lot of grammer and typo in their web-site, but consider that they are trying so hard just to let non-Chinese speaking folks like you has a slim idea of what products they are offering. I lived in USA for so long and didn't actually see the American has a strong grammer background as well. We already get used with the "You' all", "me and my wife", "what's up", "what's going on", not mention that a lot of broken sentenses and incomplete sentenses. Not only Chinese, but Japanese, German, French, Spanish, and so on... They translate their languages to English because YOU CAN'T SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGES! Consider that as a shortcoming. Panzzi |

For the chinese people it might be as difficult as for us learning their language. I wonder if the original poster writes Mandarin or German for us to laugh about. Peter |

I worked with a guy from Singapore, and he told me english is used
because those other languages can't accurately describe technical things easily, and english is able to. For what it's worth. Bob H.

Also those computer driven translator programs produce results like this. Most of it is intelligible, except the line about "we also aggrandizement the bowel management ". Maybe should be "back end"? Word and phrases rarely map 1 to 1 from one language to another anyway. Are those amps guitar amps? Other than the picture of the electric guitar player, no other mention of what type of amps those are. ======== I'm having roast rabbit for Easter dinner. :-) |

Most of it is intelligible, except the line about "we also aggrandizement the bowel management ". Maybe should be "back end"? Just a few weeks ago I was reading a translation from a German paper regarding the shows in Europe where Brian Wilson was playing "Smile" (probably the most famous unfinished pop/rock album of all time!) live. At one point, the translation referred to an album prior to "Smile" by Brian & the Beach Boys that was thought by many to be the greatest album ever made... It was titled (swear to God, according to the translation)... "Fart Sounds" I think that's a cool name, but I like "Pet Sounds" better. Yikes! Jim McShane Need Tubes? Got a H-K Citation (Pre) Amp?

From a Frenchy:
I was told that, giving to translate the following sentence to a machine: "Le Germanium est un semiconducteur", it returned back: "L'Allemand est la moitié d'un chef d'orchestre" Could more English fluent people than me translate this in a less private joke ?

I think what they mean by bowel management is to pay attention to the small
"lower" things that make a company run smoothly. Like, for instance, the old shipping clerk who knows how to salvage a distress shipping time promise or in their case a "proof reader." This is the opposite of MBA mentality whose main thrust seems to be the immediate bottom line. "let's replace old Ned the shipping clerk with a new kid. That will save us plenty." 6 months down the road shipping, which ultimately can reflect the whole image of a company, is bogged down in a quagmire, because although the new kid is proficient, he doesn't have the experience to know how to pull strings when necessary. Maybe like giving the FED EX guy a box of his favorite cigars for a crucial favor. Oh well, you probably can tell that I have insomnia. Sorry for hogging the soap box.

It may have been the BVU-800 manual. Then there is the Tektronix manual for a vectorscope or WFM that in the diagram for the external sync injection circuit, there was a drawing of an outhouse with a sink hanging on the outside of it. Another Tektronix funny was the rear connector pinout diagram for a 661 oscilloscope. The connector was a 80+ pin connector and each pin was labeled on the sheet. In the corner was an a rather confused looking octopus scratching his head. r -- Nothing beats the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with DLT tapes. |
