Special English

By Jennifer Farr on Monday, January 08, 2007

I find more written English here in the city than I had originally imagined. None of it appears directed toward foreigners. Instead its purpose, as best as we can devine, is to help an establishment look credible or cool. A lot of it doesn’t make any sense nor is it spelled correctly. Here is an excerpt from our hotel literature about the “Sunshine Club” which occupies the 3rd floor. It’s an entertainment center, like something out of Las Vegas. Okay, embrace yourself for special English:

Get rid of bluation accumulated from depressing
Take a sip of wine, meet yourself into the wine
thus get inlight of koth wine and human.
   

The funny thing about this is that it is directed toward foriegners.

Okay…here’s another one:

In the day time, the
fragrance of flower
would be elegant, the
music could make you
comfort, the wine made you
indulgent, the attractions would
made you lingering.  All the things
happened at these moments would bring
you the feeling of flying on the clouds.
There is a International Performance, Hall more
than 3000 square meters with 3 telescopic
Tstages, 32-sets-display walls, various video
receivers, PM2800M professional monitor tuning plate
,BaoSha 108 rule light-controlled plate Renkus-Heinz
stage amplifier, 18 professional golden computer-contralled
lights, smoking-maker and other first-class sound speakers.  It's
quite fit for vocal concert, press conference, sodality, fair and
other conferences.

So, yeah. This is what I’m dealing with. I’m glad I brought some good books to help me forget “special English” for a while!
