中式英语错误纠正:我的食品朋友

jessie_818

我的食品朋友 I Want to Introduce you to Some Food

分析

It's pretty easy to spot the error here. but not hear it.The word "meet". means“见面、介绍”．The correct word should be "meat" which has the same pronunci-ation as "meet". The mistake, however, leads to the following laughable equiva-lent：“（欢迎您）与产品相识”．You can meet a person, but not a product.
     
这个错误容易被发现，却不能被听出来。图中单词“meet”是“见面、介绍”的意思，而正确的词应该是和它发音相同的“meat肉”。这个错误使得标示牌“肉制品”变成了“（欢迎您）与产品相识”。与人相识容易，与产品相识难啊。
