开眼界：神翻译不只中国有

Recipes for disaster...
菜单沦陷……

Eating out is one of the best parts of a holiday, unless your menu includes one of these unusual treats...
美食是度假中最美好的部分，除非你在菜单上看到这些奇葩菜名……

A restaurant in the Czech Republic offers: “Horses douvres.” Just say neigh.
捷克一家饭店提供:“Horses douvres.（马式餐前点心）”来，学马叫两声。

In Cadiz, Spain, “Roast Alf Partridge” is a firm favourite on the menu. Perhaps they couldn't catch Alan Partridge.
在西班牙的加迪斯，“Roast Alf Partridge（烤阿尔夫·帕特其）”是菜单上受人喜爱的一道菜，也许是因为他们抓不到艾伦·帕特其（译者注：英国喜剧《阿尔法爸爸》中的主人公）”。

A jar of black raspberry jam in America: “Tastes Like Grandma.” We all love our grandmas but no one wants to eat her.
美洲的一种黑树莓果酱瓶身上写着：“Tastes Like Grandma.（外婆的味道）”，我们都爱外婆，可是我们不想吃掉她们。

One establishment in Beijing offers “Virgin chicken”. It's pure meat.
北京一家店提供“Virgin chicken（童子鸡）”，其实全是肉。

Meanwhile, another China restaurant has “grilled sexual harassment” on its menu.
另外一家中国饭店的菜单上提供“grilled sexual harassment（烤性骚扰）”。

Which would go nicely with the “Lawyer Foam” that appeared on a menu in Madrid.
马德里一份菜单上的“Lawyer Foam（律师泡沫）”跟楼上那条绝配。

A shortage of plates after the traditional plate smashing means one Greek restaurant may have had to find an unusual alternative going by this: “Fish on the eyelid.”
可能希腊一家餐馆的盘子弄碎了不够用，所以餐馆需要找一个不寻常的替代品：“Fish on the eyelid.（盛在眼睑上的鱼肉）”。

“Please do not park in front of the sh**ter,” a sign in South Goa, India, warns. Probably sage advice as Delhi Belly can be rife among travellers.
印度果阿邦南部的一条警示标语：“Please do not park in front of the sh**ter（请不要在厕所前泊车）”。也有道理啊，德里腹泻可能会在游客之间传播呢。

Hotel howlers...
酒店囧译……

And things don't get much better after you check in...
登记入住后，情况并没有好转……

A sign in a hotel bathroom inFrancewarns guests: “Do not throw kidney in the toilet.” Does that mean a liver is allowed?
法国一家旅馆的浴室写着：“Do not throw kidney in the toilet.（不要把肾扔进马桶）”所以说，把肝扔马桶里是可以的？

While this sign inKazakhstancertainly isn't going to encourage us to get our five a day: “There is a bowel of fruit in each room.” Yum.
哈萨克斯坦的这家旅馆一定不鼓励我们“一天五个”水果吃法：“There is a bowel of fruit in each room.（每个房间都有一肠子水果。）”真好吃啊。

A guest information booklet in aThailandhotel bedroom gives some very honest advice: “If you are thinking of hiring a car please drive carefully as all Thai drivers have a death wish.”
泰国一家旅馆房间的宾客信息册子给出了非常诚恳的建议：“If you are thinking of hiring a car please drive carefully as all Thai drivers have a death wish.（如果你想租车，要小心，每个泰国司机都想死。）”

安提瓜岛旅游胜地的园林绿化工已经失控了，这条标语告诉我们：“Our gardeners work delinquently.（我们的园丁消极怠工）”

在奥地利的一个滑雪胜地，一家餐馆试图跟用餐者强调把食物带到楼上餐厅去吃的规定，店里标识写道: “It is not allowed to consume meals and drinks from our self-service restaurant!（不许在我们的自助餐厅饮食！）”。（英文来源：英国《镜报》）
