For example, the English word on the signboard of "dried fruit area" in a vegetable market is "Fuck the Fruit Area", which means "the place where you have sex with fruit".

On Chang 'an Avenue in Beijing, a road sign warning pedestrians to pay attention to the slippery road also wrote the following English words: "Pay attention to safety; Slippery people are very cunning. This sentence can't be read in any English dialect, and it will be puzzling to turn back to Chinese: "Pay attention to the safe; Those slippery ones are very cunning. "
