House Explained! Sort Of.
by Chris Hardwick on February 19, 2010
Anyone who knows me knows I love ol’ George House, especially when he’s leaning on a crutch to Huang Huang.
I’m not 100% sure where this ran but I have my suspicions (I’m looking at YOU, China). Of course, bad translation is always hilarious. ALWAYS. But in reality, I don’t even have the ability to draw a Chinese character, much less assemble a bunch of them to form poor sentences. All Asian letters just looks like pieces of Wheat Chex to me, so I gotta lotta nerve harshin’ on their English skillz.
Though, to be fair, I don’t get paid to translate things for large companies, like the lunatic who had the won tons to accept Yuan for this hatchet job.

Seems like a spot-on translation.
what i don’t get is this was originally written in english, yes? so for what purpose was it translated BACK into english from whatever language?? i’m confused
Its GREGORY House. Not George.
I’ve never watched the show, but would watch it in a heartbeat if they translated it into Chinese and then back to English. That would be some fantastic dialogue!
It is just Chinglish….
Jacket covers all read like that….
The person who did that probably works 12 hours a day and puts out 20,000 bootleg DVDs and makes 250 bucks a month.
Check out hanzismatter.com for moronic use of Chinese by western folks….
Head to David Feng on Flickr or Crenglish.com for much funnier stuff…
LOVE when this happens. You can’t make this shit up!
This is actually the product of a translation tool, like Google Translate.
If you use a translation tool to convert text from English to another language, and then back to English, the results you get will be similar.
Let me draw your attention to
http://www.engrish.com
probably the best bad translation site that I know of.
I liking the happy for dog entry in cyberspace. Your good to a funny bite on translation makes happiness with erection.
Engrish.com is pretty much all Japanese stuff though. Funny though. Love that site.
Do you think “Guaizhang” will be able to diagnose the idiot that translated this?
It’s http://www.crienglish.com – it was mispelled in an earlier post.
Treasury Di Lisa is my favorite character on the show.
I’m surprised they got Wilson’s name right.
well, he IS a perfect intuitive diagnosis were excellent.
