Chinglish – Train On Fire

Sam Ose / Olai Skjaervoy posted a photo of another fine example of some Chinglish:

Chinglish: If the train is on fire, please stand clear of the train

This sign says: “If the train is on fire, please stand clear of the train”. And there I was thinking of jumping onto the burning train! I hope their trains aren’t on fire too often…

It seems this fine example of Chinglish comes from Hong Kong. Despite the fact that Hong Kong has traditional ties with England and English was the second language there before 1997, they are not immune to Chinglish! I’ve seen some fantastic examples there.
