Continuing the series that no-one's waiting for, here's my second Chinglish discovery.This headline appeared in a magazine in which the headlines were thoughtfully translated into English, but the remainder of the text appeared in Chinese script.
Perhaps this is a way of teaching Chinese readers English; if so, I think it probably falls someway short of the mark.
Can anyone shed some light on what "Yellow Old Man of May Daughter Scissors Hand" might mean?
