I got this email a few days ago from my department. The Google translation of the Japanese text is the more humorous than any other email I've received to date.

What is your opinion of this poem?
I don't have the full story of what actually happened that caused the email to be sent to the message board. But I'm guessing someone tried to somehow cook a potato in one of the little kitchen areas in our building. And the result was damage to 1- an electric teakettle, 2- the stove, and 3- a human. Luckily only the electric teakettle was damaged beyond repair.
That's all for now.

The stomach. Later, around the yard in charge of upkeep of each tank, takes a tag
Containers are not, check your owner's tag was missing
I sure will be asked, thank you.

Well, I learned something about the real story, but maybe the poetry is better. Two points: no one was hurt; there was no potato.
ReplyDeleteOne problem is that line breaks on the e-mail do not coincide with word breaks, and the translator is not recognizing that.
Our chief Tanioka says that the university got some funding for safety upgrades for seismic hazard. That may explain some of what's going on... maybe they are anchoring gas tanks?
ReplyDeletebut what about the funny sword like symbol (hari kari?) and the stomach?
ReplyDeletecurious,
K
ソ is "so"
ReplyDeleteベ is "be"
it probably just means that a word got cut in the middle by the line break, and "sobe" has no meaning by itself
