A couple hilarious Chinese translations
The following is from a very recent movie with some Chinese fansub. I'll post the pictures, and the English transcription. You can read the Chinese fansub yourself. While fansubs may be of lower quality, the mistakes are true howlers.

Sean: Nice ride.
(trans: Car's not bad.)
Dom: I won it from my friend Han a few years ago.
(trans: few years back, I was Han's friend.)
Sean: I didn't know he was into American muscle.
(trans: I didn't know Han was sexually interested in American hunk)
Dom: He was when he was rolling with me.
(trans: He was when he was "rolling [in bed]" with me)
Sean: You know this ain't no 10-second race.
(trans: You know this is not a kid's game)
Dom: I got nothing but time.
(trans: I am so busy I only have time left.)
