I was recently asked to edit an emergency evacuation manual for Kasaoka City Hall. "Don't worry," they told me, "we've already translated it into English. All you have to do is edit it." Right.
What surprised me most about the manual was not necessarily the strange English, but the detail they went into regarding safety. I have italicized their translations, after which I have inserted my translation of their translation .
In order to protect the body from a tsunami. Those who are preseent in the seashore need to separate from the seashore immediately. Take refuge in safe place, such as heights, in a hurry. In other words, run like hell.
