Chinese Translation required...

Around five years ago, I went on the first of many customer site visits to various far-flung places in the world.

This first one was to the city of Qingdao in North East China.

I always try and grab a souvenir when I go somewhere a bit different;

Mate gourds from Argentina and Uruguay
Ulu knife from Alaska
Tequila from Mexico
etc.

In Qingdao's case, I got a typical tourist trinket of a some rice-type paper with ribbons and, most importantly, some writing on it.

Five years later, I've finally decided to ask the great minds of GD to tell me what the **** it means.

My personal opinion is it states "Ancient Chinese Proverb says: Yankee go home!", but if anyone knows someone that can translate it, it'd be bingedy bingedy bong. If not, make up some shit that'll at least be amusing.

Cheers!

The Ancient Chinese Scroll!

Re: Chinese Translation required...

Well, the character that looks a bit like a lowercase h at Line 3, Position 5 (from the left, which is actually the wrong way to read chinese but anyway), i believe means 'Person'.


This is going to take a while

Re: Chinese Translation required...

If each of those symbols represent a word (and not a letter), as I think they do, it's got to be a bit longer than your suggestion. I don't recognize any of them though

Re: Chinese Translation required...

I counted 42 symbols.

Maybe it's actually;

"Ancient Chinese Proverb says: If the monkey is in the tree, could it also be said that a tree is not a tree without a monkey, and that the monkey is unable to be a monkey unless it is in the tree?

Listen baldy* if I knew any Chinese people, I'd ask them, but since most of GD are always saying how bloody cosmopolitan they are, I thought that maybe one just one person might know someone who knew someone whose mother's aunt's grandmother's cat's brother's had been eaten by a Chinese-man at some poitn and might know a bit of Chinese and translate it for me in the HELPFUL WAY PEOPLE DO THINGS FOR OTHERS FROM TIME TO TIME.

You selfish bastard.

Re: Chinese Translation required...

Man, I just discovered searching for chinese characters is harder than it sounds lol.. I got as far as finding the first two characters (reading right to left).

"When month.."

so it probably is some proverb or saying, but I work with a chinese guy so I'll see if i can get him to translate it tommorow.

Re: Chinese Translation required...

Sometimes it pays off that my office is next to a Sino European Business School.

It's a woman writing to her boyfriend, she is asking him why he is so far away and not at her side. She is watching the birds that are always sticking together, she is watching beautiful flowers and can't stop thinking about him. Especially during the night. But he is so far away she can't reach him. And maybe he is not even thinking about her, what a shame!

So you're satisfied with one person saying "it's a letter from a man to his wife and it talks about rocks and the moon" and another person saying "it's a letter from a woman to her boyfriend lamenting the fact that he is so far away and how all aspects of nature remind her of him"?

You're satisfied with that, two rather different interpretations?

Ohhhhhh Richard :(

Re: Chinese Translation required...

They're not dissimilar. it's some lovey thing. I'm sure there's differences in opinion over the translation.

More to the point, why are people speaking like pirates 2 days after international speak like a pirate day? It's a bit late, even if there's buried treasure

Ohhhhhh Richard
I have found an independent source here in FL that will verify the correct version. Apparently it is written in an ancient Chinese script, but that it is a poem of sorts.

Tbh, I didn't see that djbass had actually found a translation, which is why I was so quick off the mark to accept what I was given.

I shall strike down with great vengeance and furious anger on anyone I find who has tried to pass me off with a bad translation.

BE WARNED.

I have found an independent source here in FL that will verify the correct version. Apparently it is written in an ancient Chinese script, but that it is a poem of sorts.

Tbh, I didn't see that djbass had actually found a translation, which is why I was so quick off the mark to accept what I was given.

I shall strike down with great vengeance and furious anger on anyone I find who has tried to pass me off with a bad translation.

BE WARNED.
No I had gotten a translation from a genuine chinese person lol. I will admit that there is a chance I may have confused some details because after all I am only relaying another persons translation, but what laputa said seems very close to what my friend said since he also mentioned details about the person dreaming etc. Unfortunately while his chinese is great he speaks terrible engrish so I expect some details may be slightly off and laputa's is the correct version.

That'd be a pretty cool way of marking nationality. Brand everyone who wants to go abroad.

I meant you start at the right most column, read down to the bottom, and then go back to the top of the cloumn to the left of the previous one. Is that what you also meant?

Re: Chinese Translation required...

question: do the different dialects have different alphabets/symbols?

Re: Chinese Translation required...

I'd assume so. I have no idea if it actually does, but since when did that stop a GD poster?

Even French, German and English (which have the same sort of roots, ish) have changed a bit. China's a pretty big place, and they have loads of symbols, so I assume that in some places they have a few different words.

Also, someone ^^ mentioned Ancient Chinese, and usually that means (as well as being lots older) that it's more formal // sometimes less developed.
If that counts as a dialect...
