Last evening, in the Jive Pad here, the posts turned hilarious
when we started discussing about the crappy English translations
for the Korean TV Dramas that I've been watching.

So, that's how we started using '(the) good elephant' (hao3 xiang4)
in our posts! 
When I went home and watched the Korean drama, I almost turned blue
laughing at the really terrible subtitles! It was so funny I
replayed it again and again, for laughs! Then, a thought occured to
me, why not share the good joke here with all of you? 
So, here it is, a small snippet of the entertainment value that can
be derived from the English subtitles in Korean dramas! This is a
verbatim copy of the subtitle in a scene when boy meets girl and
tries to tell her that he went there specially to look for her
:
(B=Boy; G=Girl)
B : Is what matter? What matter worry?
G : Have no have no worry the matter!
B : Please say that see, see I can help you.
G : True nothing important matter. Thanks for your to you
certainly.
B : Not still too unimportant. True nothing important matter?
G : Is. But have today when arrive at here? See the friend again
if?
B : Is not. Today is the true.
G : I?
B : Does today also want to work here?
G : Is not because of the no the patient.
B : The rice gross want to eat?
G : Is. There is friend taking so eat on time. Work assuredness need strength very
much.
B : Have a meal can't the careful body!
G : I am a doctor.
B : Yes, do I am foolish kill before expert. Organism meeting we I to please.
So... tell me again that there's no entertainment value in Korean
dramas?!
