I've been meaning to start this thread for a while since it's been *ages* since we played this game.
Okay, the game is played thus: Take any Firefly or Serenity quote and translate it into Chinese using a translation site like Babelfish - http://babelfish.altavista.com - THEN translate the translation BACK into English. Post the quote in this thread - the more mangled it is the better - and the rest of us have to guess what the original quote is.
Person who guesses correctly gets to post the next quote. You can give hints if you manage to stump all of us.
Got that? Okay. Here's a quote to start us off.
"I see only fluid this urinates the refusin water hole to pay our our wage!"

Gotta be "The only fluid I see here is the puddle of piss refusing to pay us our wage."
Okay, let me look for a quote to use, now...
*edit* Here we go:
"I thought tells him, is the insult to the neurosis lowlife community"

And I think calling him that is an insult to the psychotic lowlife community...
And now...
"Very good, my day does not adopt you certainly seriously to approach middle."

Indeed I can!
"Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle."
This one will likely be really easy, but it was too hilarious not to use:
"Oh the god, what is it possibly? We completely are doomed! Who flies this matter?" []

Oh, gawd! What could it be? We're doomed! Who's flyin' this thing?
This might be a bit tougher:
Neighbor you person's talent are in are mysterious on becoming estranged.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm pointin' right at it!

Is it "Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienating folk is near miraculous"? []

Mal: Gotta say, Doctor — your talent for alienatin' folks is near miraculous.
Hee hee hee!

Glad I wasn't the only one to think that was it 
And yours is "She is starting to damage my calm."
And my new one is: "You want me to seek help to the full burn?" []
