From the contributor:
This is from the “Usage Manual” for a mini RC stunt car. The translation is horrible all the way through, resulting in some very memorable bad English. I’ve offered my favorites here.
From the “Safe Rule” section:
1.prohibition against 3 years old below of child usage;
2.play attention. you of finger,hair,clothes…etc.don’t touch and car wheel,in order to prevent quilt harm.
3.car while driving not want to by hand grasp it.
4.don’t let the remote control close to any fire with car original;(such as electric stove,stove beside or mightiness of sunlight bottom)
From the “Operation” section:
5) The erection go forwards to take the contrary hour hand direction of ex- round to hover around.
(Note: I’m not making this up.)
Finally, from the top of the page, in a little inset supposedly there to alert us to the requirements:
1.Is not suitable for the 3 years old and the following child.
2.Before biginning uses must hard finish reading this manual
3.Suggestion is under the person’s leading usage.
All I can say is that the comment about how I can’t “uses” before “hard finish reading this manual” could have ruined Christmas.
