Daniel Cavanaugh, a white American, forties, speaks to us at a podium, wireless clicker in hand. Images from his presentation appear upstage.
First image: a photograph of a sign, in both English and Chinese. The Chinese reads:
The English reads:“To Take Notice of Safe: The Slippery Are Very Crafty.”
DANIEL: “To take notice of safe: The slippery are very crafty.” The proper translation should be: “Slippery Slopes Ahead.”
(Click: second image. The Chinese reads:
The English reads:“Financial Affairs Is Everywhere Long.”)
What does this one mean? Believe it or not: “Chief Financial Officer.” Likely the result of a bad computer translation program.
(Click: third image. The Chinese reads:
The English reads: “Fuck the Certain Price of Goods.”)
Surprisingly, this sign does not have anything to do with a sale. Who wouldn’t be thrilled to walk into, say, Barneys and find a sign reading: “Fuck the Certain Price of Goods”? But it should actually read: “Dry Goods Pricing Department.” Unfortunately.

You see, after the Communist government came to power, Chairman Mao ordered that the centuries-old system of writing Chinese characters—beautiful, arcane, devilishly complicated—be simplified for the “masses”—or, as we would call them today, “consumers.” In so doing, the ideographs for “dry” and “to do” were merged. And “to do” is also slang for, well, to “do” someone. Once you know that, it all makes sense.
(Pause.)
Thank you to the Commerce League of Ohio for inviting me to talk about doing business in China. The greatest pool of untapped consumers...
