Hong Kong Roaming Diary Day 2
In the southern coastal areas, there are many restaurants and eateries called “X Kee”. Probably family businesses of a certain surname.
The taste is okay, relatively light, but I don’t really like fatty meat.
A low-rise rooftop surrounded by tall buildings.
Sparse greenery.
Passing by a cinema, so I went in.
Pick a movie I like.
Okay, I’ve decided on this one.
Seems like some Polaroid photos of the audience.
Fewer people in the morning.
The cheapest early show ticket is 80 HKD.
Even more expensive than IMAX movies in mainland China.
Strong intellectual property protection.
Pirating a movie here might actually land you in jail.
Don’t dare to film the big screen; took a picture of the audience before the show. Quite a few people, high proportion of elderly.
Why did I go eat again?
Didn’t I know I needed to lose weight three years ago? I’m really grateful...
26 million Hong Kong dollars. 20.8 million RMB.
Finally saw the legendary Hong Kong housing prices!
Why does the bus license plate behind start with TF?
Do you know that reminds me of two boys from Chongqing, and that makes my heart ache because people grow up.
The railing is painted greener than the plants—maybe not such a good idea, just saying.
An elderly man exercising.
A monastery under renovation?
The door is this small, seriously?
Oh, sorry, the main entrance is here.
Finally, finally, the correct English translation for “Caution: Wet Floor” appears. It’s my beloved little library!
slip v. to slide, fall
slippery adj. describing something that is slippery; difficult to hold, stand on, or walk on
floor n. ground, floor surface
slippery floor: a floor that is slippery
The adjective slippery modifies the noun floor, placed before the noun. Basic middle school grammar.
Thank you so much. In my short life of over 20 years, I’ve seen all kinds of wrong translations of this sign.
I think the most ridiculous one was in Lijiang. I even made it into a demo lesson. Let me look for it to see if I can find it.
bangbang
slip v. to slide, fall
carefully adv. cautiously, prudently
The adverb carefully modifies the verb slip and comes after the verb. And the verb slip is at the beginning of the sentence, an imperative, expressing a command or request.
So “slip carefully” translated into Chinese would be:
“You, be careful and slide down!”
Emmm, so I suggest changing the Chinese sign too.
小心 地（的） 滑
Isn’t that a very faithful, expressive, and elegant translation?
No foreigner can walk past this sign upright!
Reject machine translation, start with me!
Let’s go inside and take a look.
(I’ve totally forgotten what’s inside - -)
The ornamental tree in the middle of the staircase is really beautiful.
Seen too many fountains, no longer impressed.
Thick fog, once again feels so much like Chongqing.
Jie Jie (a protective boundary), you are the best! (in not-so-standard Tianjin dialect)
32 HKD, not bad.
The controller is a bit crude.
Are you embarrassed to call yourself the controller of a planetarium? Don’t you blush? Huh?
Boss, actually I wanted to ask you yesterday: do you have a Super Happy Meal?
Coach! I mean, Chef!
Will eating this noodles make my eyes bleed? I mean, after eating, will I have tadpoles in my eyes, the kind that stop water?
It’s indeed not as good as Japanese ramen.
Forgot why the staff gave me a souvenir. Either I followed him on Instagram, or I talked too much and confused him, haha.
G is our first floor.
Hong Kong, influenced by Britain, uses the British floor numbering system.
That is, the floor level with the ground (which we in mainland China call the first floor) is the G floor in Hong Kong.
Our second floor is Hong Kong’s first floor.
Hong Kong floor + 1 = mainland floor.
