An interesting bit of translation:
English original: I specifically apologize for the tactless use of quotes around “her” in a tweet of mine that was offensive to Naomi and all women.
Chinese translation: 我还要特别为我那句不得体的在“her”加双引号的暗示她是变性人言论抱歉,这不仅冒犯到Naomi而且对其他女性来说也是不公平的。
Chinese translated back to English: I am especially sorry for my tactless use of quotes around "her", alluding to that she is transsexual, which is not only offensive to Naomi but also unfair to other women.
- iliketosleep 9y agoThat's a good find. Topics related to political correctness are often mistranslated due to cultural differences; western-style political correctness isn't really a "thing" in China.
