Like I said before and below I come across some very interesting phrases as Im correcting homework. While reading some of these to my mom, she told me I should keep a file or a notebook etc. where I keep them all. Good idea! I started scribbling the phrases in my notebook so here is my first installment. Some of them I already mentioned.
"I've decided to quit romping."
"I will cut down on deserting dust."
"I want to become a tame person."
"I regret fighting a royal bear because I was cutting left arm." (wha???)
"I regret killing friend because I have lost the friendship." (no shit... This is the same kid as the previous sentence. I think he was referring to videogames... at least I hope!!)
"I regret proposing to a girl because I broke my heart then."
"I've decided to quit riding tandem."
"Anyway, it laughs and it rolls it up." (excuse me??)
"It laughs together, it plays, and it makes noise." (what does?? the suspense is killing me! what is this mysterious "it"?)
"It exchanges it with people in the region." (ok, maybe I need to teach about the difference between "it" and "I". You'd think they would have done that a long time ago....)
"I regret getting suntanned because I increased a bristletail." (yet another electro-dictionary mishap! somehow "shimi" which means wrinkle, got translated into "bristletail". One question: what in the world is a bristletail, and why is it in the dictionary? Especially under wrinkle? Maybe a Japanese person made this electro-dictionary. It would sure explain a lot! Whoever it was needs to be fired! One can only wonder about these things.)
I will keep posting more of these as time goes on. I hope you all have enjoyed them as much as I have! They definitely keep me entertained at work!

This is cheese, cheese... (long pause) CHEESE!
(This next one is from a real sign at the top of the Miyajima Ropeway)
"Please put your baggage in the free rocker, because of monkeys. Please don't feed animals. They are wild life. Please eat anything inside."
God bless the Engrish...
