英文告示 :不欢迎妓女

讲师话，从网上得知，内地有餐厅在门口张贴「双语」告示 ∶ 「 Zapata 墨西哥餐厅不欢迎妓女，如果你是一个妓女，请努力克制自己不要进入本餐厅及花园，也不要在大门口流连徘徊；如果你不确定自己的身份，请向保安求助 ─ ─ 他们非常友善。 Zapata Mexican Cantina does not sponsor prostitutes at our establishment. If you are a prostitute, please refrain from entering our garden or restaurant. If you are unsure whether or not you are a prostitute, please ask one of our friendly security guards to sort it out for you. 」 看了这英文,用那些词好奇怪的单词,真是摸不著脑袋。 讲师指出，此告示故弄玄虚，文字论尽。　表示，英文宜改为 ∶ Prostitutes are not welcome to our restaurant. If you are one of them, please go away. If you really dont know your own identity, please consult with our security guards.
