Chinese Transalation Needed....

It is an old poem which describes a high and beautyful waterfall, that spreads the fine waterdust like shimmering pearls.
But like in every language the words can change its meaning in time. It might be a paraphrasing. For tears for example. So the interpretation of waterfall can be a wide field.

I hope this helps.

Roughly translated, it says:

All You Can Eat Buffett $16.95
You Come You Eat You Leave
No Stay Four Hour
No Takeout Off Buffet
 
A man with a gun walks into a Chinese restaurant and says "give me all your money"

Guy behind counter says "oh to take out"
 
I showed the fellow at the Chinese resturant downtown this thread ( don't look in the kitchen, this is the place across the alley from the pound)

He said it is a quote from the Philospher Confusous (sp) it says

Man who stand on toliet high on pot.
Man who fart in Church sits in own pew.
Man who goes to bed with itchy butt wakes up with stinky finger.

I seen that once before in a souvenir shop..

"You break, you buy - We break, we cry!"

Or, was it...

"Man with hole in pockets..." I forget the rest [emoji6]
 
By the same token.....

Never, ever get a hanzi (Chinese) or kanji (Japanese) character tattoo unless you are absolutely certain of it's meaning. These logograms are components of alphabets containing over 3000 symbols and minor differences between the strokes can change the meaning significantly. :eek:

By the same token, oriental kids were wearing T shirts with English phrases that made no sense. It didn't matter, they just had cool English writing on them>
 
The real translation:

You start at the upper right corner. It lists several services available "upstairs". The left side has prices and conditions.

Typical sign for a restaurant in a business district with a red light district upstairs.


Same kind of sign used to hang in Miss Kitty's saloon.

By the way, the sign is very old. The prices are very reasonable............
 
SERIOUS ANSWER ABOUT THE TRANSLATION:

My friend Ling says it's a poem about how clear the sky is and how beautiful it is and how far you can see. She said it's done in a very formal "poetry" style and said she could give a much better translation after consulting texts on this style of writing, but that's the gist of it.

Oh, and Ling confirmed it was Chinese.
