Some help with Chinese translation

[boogyman19946]

I've been looking through fountain pens on ebay (I'm such a sucker for these things) and I found a couple of pens from Jinhao which are really sweet and one of them has something written in Chinese, but since it's an image, I can't just type it into Google translate to find out what it means (besides, I'd probably get an incorrect translation anyhow).

This forum is the most awesome place with people from so many different places that I hope there is also a person who can speak (and read for that matter) Chinese to help me out with a translation. The pen in question is right here:
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqEOKp!E24QI2OEIBN)fJGk+8g~~0_3.JPG

Sadly, it looks like the writing in this picture is incomplete, but perhaps even a partial translation will give me an idea of what it's saying.

If anyone can read Chinese, could you pretty please post a translation for the text that's on the pen? ^.^ Thanks a bunch from the top.

Did you try asking the seller?

[boogyman19946]

... that's... a good idea >.> I shall try that....

EDIT: When I figure out how to send a message.

My guess is "A-4 with soup, D-1 with spring roll, Bami Goreng spicy, three bottles of coke and a bag of Krupuk".

[TurbulentTurtle]

Kris I always thought we were tight.

As for the x-lation:
It pretty much says stuff like, for the unity of China, Taiwan must return and whatever.
Pretty much you buyin' yourself a commie nationalist ching chang chong pen.

祖国统一 unity of the home country
台湾回归 return of taiwan
历史潮流 the trend of history
两岸同胞龙脉相连 we people are strongly related together(offspring of dragon?!)
人心所向 everyone's intention(??)
为中。。。（not yet finished）

[BobCox2]

So now you know,
Unless TT is just ****ing with you

[Noodle]

yeah, that could go either way . . .

[TurbulentTurtle]

Dun dun dun!!!!!!
Until someone decides to just paste that into Google translate.

[boogyman19946]

Well, in the event that it is a commie pen as suggested, I think I'll pass on it's purchase XD Too bad, I thought it didn't look so bad for what it's worth.

[Technomancer]

Haha! I tried to double check Turby on Google Translate, and he's totally right!! It's some commie propaganda about reunifying with Taiwan because they are so tied together or something.

[TurbulentTurtle]

It's a cool looking pen, and if you one of those dudes who be gettin' they tatties all up in the Asian characters no knowledge what what then yeye go for it.

[BobCox2]

I like the dragon ones better

[krischan]

I didn't know that people in China have so large hands.

[TurbulentTurtle]

I didn't know that people in China have so large hands.
You would be surprised at how little foreigners know about us Chinamen.
We like to keep the white man in the dark.

[krischan]

Yeah, I can understand that. We have secret bases on Antarctica and on moon since WW2 and nobody has discovered them yet!

[boogyman19946]

Ok, I received a reply from the seller on ebay and here's what she said


the meaning of the Chinese on the body of the pen is about the unification of China,
this is a big event in China , Taiwan is a part of mainland China . We should take the people all over the word like family and our heart will being together like a Chinese.


So, the bottom line, the pen isn't quite for me :)

TT, even though I like both Chinese and Japanese and surely it would be pretty cool to know either, having some kind of foreign writing isn't exactly my type ^.^ I thought it was a pretty sweet pen, too, too bad it turned out to be like that.

[TurbulentTurtle]

I don't deny it's a pretty rad looking pen. I would still consider buying it if you're gonna be presenting it or using it in a place where nobody knows how to ching chong. You can just make up whatever you want and just say you got some Chinese dude to translate it for you or whatever.

Kris: Until now. I just tricked you into revealing your stuff.

[Technomancer]

Yeah, I can understand that. We have secret bases on Antarctica and on moon since WW2 and nobody has discovered them yet!
We'll find them now! Smooth move, braunschweiger!

Yeah, just like those Chinese characters women get tattoo'd above their butts! :grin:

It is a nice looking pen.

I feel safe. I bet you cannot distinguish my red herrings from my true statements.

Things are evolving as expected.

Based on the link (I removed) I'm thinking Iphone Ipad type ad?

[Technomancer]

Alright Turby, I've got the Antarctic ones, go get the moon bases!!

Omg Bob! :grin:

[BobCox2]

Half the world reads everything backward and at a rate of one word per letter yet only needs 3-6 thousand words (vs a quarter of a million distinct English words) and you think it's a minor difference?
OMG right back at you.

[TurbulentTurtle]

Some kind of export service company or something.
I don't do simplified Chinese, traditional all the way.

[BobCox2]

It's a cool looking pen, and if you one of those dudes who be gettin' they tatties all up in the Asian characters no knowledge what what then yeye go for it.

Boogieman
Well, you could do something boring as ****, like buy some ****-arse quill made in a China by a peasant for 7 yuan a day.
OR.
You could be ****ing awesome, and not only get your own quill, but get the ink you use for writing with at the same ****ing time.
How, you ask?
You get yourself a mother****ing squid, mother****er.
Yeah, go buy a squid from the fishmarkets or something. A good sized one (http://i.imgur.com/3B4msl.jpg) will set you back 5 or 6 bucks, nothing too expensive, and a ****-ton cheaper than any QVB bull****. Cuttlefish or big tentacle-y ones, doesn't matter. As long as that **** has a quill and splooges black bile.
Now, you gut that ****, but be careful about it. Here's a ****ing image (http://sciencewithmrp.pbworks.com/f/squid+anatomy.JPG) to help, but if you think it's going to be disection-by-numbers like this pretty little picture indicates you might as well just go buy some calamari to inhale while you cry yourself to sleep.
You want to cut open the mantle and poke around a bit til you find a fleshy sac that is darker than the rest - that's the ink sac (http://i.imgur.com/9pq6Il.jpg), you be careful with that. You don't want to pop (http://i.imgur.com/rXC9cl.jpg) that yet, you want to drain that over an inkwell or some sort of seal-able container, oh, use gloves too, it's ink mother****er, it stains (http://i.imgur.com/ZgHkRl.jpg).
Anyway, once you've done that, you've got sepia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalopod_ink), mother****er. Yeah, the name of the colour comes from the taxonomic name of the cuttlefish genus. Bet you ****ing didn't know that.
Going back a bit, when you opened up the mantle, you probably ran across the only bit of hard cartilage in the ****ing sea-beastie. I hope you didn't snap that in half or anything, like this (http://4.bp.********.com/-f4UEZp95pqY/TVzAI-KYanI/AAAAAAAAAQk/Xsx3VOGHWUw/s1600/IMG_3095.JPG) ****er did. Dumb ****.
That right there is your pelagic pencil. It's called the quill or pen, and it's called that because it works as a mother****ing quill, or pen. You can dip the pointy end in the ink and daintily scrawl across some ancient parchment with it just as well as you can with anything plucked from a goose or peafowl, and Florentine Australia isn't going to give you a ****ing chicken to go with your prissy feather pen either.
Yeah, that's right, not only have you just made yourself a teuthidic texta-pen, you get to eat whatever you didn't mangle beyond recognizably with whatever you've used for your 'my first exploratory squid surgery' kit.
****ing delicious (http://i.imgur.com/2n1iTl.jpg).

[Technomancer]

What the **** was all that about, mother****er?!

:wine:???
