Lost In Translation: Misadventures in English Abroad by Charlie Croker
Read Online and Download Lost In Translation: Misadventures in English Abroad by Charlie Croker. Spoken by over 700 million jabbering individuals, the English language has traveled to all corners of the globe—unfortunately, some of it has got a bit muddled along the way. This book affectionately demonstrates the very best—and worst—instances of genuine grammar-gargling from around the world, discovered by the author and his intrepid team of researchers. It includes everything from hilarious hotel signs to baffling advertisements, such as the German beauty product offering a "cream shower for pretentious skin," the notice at a French swiming pool which proclaimed that "swimming is forbidden in the absence of the saviour," or the warning sign at a Czech zoo which instructed visitors: "No smoothen the lion."
Lost In Translation: Misadventures in English Abroad by Charlie Croker Review
Wonderfully entertaining even for non-linguists. Contains hundreds of well-meaning translations that miss the mark with hilarious results. Get set to roar with laughter. Highly recommended.
I purchased this for my son, and he is enjoying it very much. It's a fun book to have around.
Hilarious, we read it from the library on a cruise and immediately ordered 3 copies, 1 for us and the others went to our travel agent and to another well traveled friend. A good book to just have around when you need a little "pick-me-up".
I bought this book because I was looking for something entertaining and not too thought provoking for my flight to Berlin. It's a series of quotes the author came across during his travels abroad where the English is used incorrectly. This can lead to some strange sounding sentences. And while there were a few funny quotes here and there, for the most part this book just gets tiresome after awhile. Many of them aren't even that funny. Plus, how can you make a whole book out of this? I was actually expecting the author to make some comments on the misuse of the English language or at least tell us something and give some meaning to this book, but it really is just a series of quotes. I got rid of it because it wasn't worth holding on to. Don't waste your money.
Some of the snippets in here are recycled from elsewhere, and there are the odd few that fall a little flat, but there are many laugh-out-loud entries, too. I actually got a sore throat from laughing at some of them.Personally, I think this is a book to dip into. Some of the examples won't tickle your funny bone - others may be a little repetitive. Overall, the belly laughs outweigh the duds, and certain gems are almost worth the purchase all by themselves. A lot of fun!
