[GET] Gems of Japanized English
Gems of Japanized English
Cover Page: https://ibb.co/q9BP1xT Download: http://www.mediafire.com/file/tejeoptuxs...h.pdf/file I am always grateful for Reps - Thanks. Japanese do things better, this book may be the ideal antidote. Even the Japanese are quick to admit that despite their enthusiasm for learning it, they still have a certain amount of difficulty with the English language. This is no new phenomenon. Shortly after Japan opened her ports to foreign traders, one doctor advertised himself as a Specialist in the Decease of Children; eggs were sold as extract of fowl; and a notice advised that Tomorrow, from midnight to 12 noon, you will receive dirty water. Fortunately, things are improving, but very slowly. A more recent English-language newspaper reported that someone's wedding was consummated in the garden of the American consul's home, while a road sign was posted near a busy intersection that commanded drivers to Have many accidents here. Long-time Tokyo resident Miranda Kenrick has collected these and hundreds of other delightful anecdotes to form a lighthearted, but unabashedly affectionate, portrait of the Japanese at home. Reading this book may do more for U.S.-Japan relations than a whole bookshelf of more serious-minded tomes. |
