[edit] Discussion

Even pandas have to take a pee.

On the wall of a dead-end alley:

路不通行不得在此小便

The word for word translation:

road not through walk not possible at here pee

The original had no punctuation. Here are 2 ways the panda could read this.

1. Not a through road, don't pee here.

2. A dead end road, no through traffic, pee here.

Well, as a student of classical Chinese, I'd definitely have to go with the first translation. This is just instinct, of course, based on context. But you gotta love the lack of punctuation!The-dissonance-reports 19:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
