I read this comment about a tourist who found this signboard when he/she visited the Forbidden City in China. From what I can understand from the Chinese words, (這棟老建築暫時關閉進行整修.所造成的任何不便,我們深表歉意),it means something like this: "This old building is temporarily closed for renovation. Any inconvenience caused is very much regretted". However, the actual English translation in the signboard reads like this:
"The ancient building is renovating. Excuse me for bringing trouble to you".
Real funny translation!
