Chinglish: Gathering of Funny Signs

Have you ever seen a sign to tell people to “slip and fall down carefully”? Literally, the sign was telling “Slippery Floor. Due to the Shanghai Expo, authorities of Shanghai had started to treat this funny Chinglish for about 2 years till now, however it doesn’t come up with a any improvement. Perhaps, we should think this has already becomes a part of the Chinese culture. This is just the only one, keeping read, there are a few more of those funny signs.

“Execution in Progress”, should be “Work in Progress”.

“Please forgive to be incontinent for interior decoration”, the correct way of saying it is “Please excuse the inconvenience while we are under renovation”.

“The jew’s ear juice”, a Jew’s ear juice. This drink is actually called “Black Fungus Juice”.

Do Drunken Driving, I think this error is a bit serious. This shouldn’t be wrong because this sign should build by government. Is this a mistake from the Chinese government? Doubt it. The correct way of saying it is “Don’t Drink and Drive “.
