翻译的笑话（2）

雅虎有一个免费的翻译网站，叫BabelFish.com 。建议大家可以去用用。可以有多种语言之间的翻译。但较复杂的文章，翻译机就会闹笑话了。比如，以下是我在2008年9月试过的一个从英文到中文的翻译。

英文原文：

The last several days have been one of the most stressful of our times. We are pleased to know that all of us have made it safely. Our foremost priority is your safety and getting the business back running. At this time, we still have the following people who do not have power at their homes:

(Names omitted)

We may have missed a few names. Please add your name to the list if you still do not have power at home and remove yours once you do.

Our company will buy lunch for those who does not have power at home during the workdays until they get power back at home. You are welcome to use company refrigerators to store food and drinks or use company microwaves to cook dinner if you like. We have bought ice and bottled water kept in the lunchroom. You are welcome to use them and take them home.

We also encourage other employees who do have power and water to share with those co-workers who don’t. We are sure that we’ll have a speedy recovery from Ike.

以下是BabelFish.com 的中文翻译：
