"n----- brown"

[taco]

Quote: TORONTO - Doris Moore was shocked when her new couch was delivered to her home with a label that used a racial slur to describe the dark brown shade of the upholstery. The situation was even more alarming for Moore because it was her 7-year-old daughter who pointed out "n----- brown" on the tag. "My daughter saw the label and she knew the color brown, but didn't know what the other word meant. She asked, Mommy, what color is that?' I was stunned. I didn't know what to say. I never thought that's how she'd learn of that word," Moore said. advertisement The mother complained to the furniture store, which blamed the supplier, who pointed to a computer problem as the source of the derogatory label Kingsoft Corp., a Chinese software company, acknowledged its translation program was at fault and said it was a regrettable error. "I know this is a very bad word," Huang Luoyi, a product manager for the Beijing-based company's translation software, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. He explained that when the Chinese characters for "dark brown" are typed into an older version of its Chinese-English translation software, the offensive N-word description comes up. "We got the definition from a Chinese-English dictionary. We've been using the dictionary for 10 years. Maybe the dictionary was updated, but we probably didn't follow suit," he said. Moore, who is black, said Kingsoft's acknowledgment of a mistake doesn't make her feel better. "They should know what they are typing, even if it is a software error," she said. "In order for something to come into the country, don't they read it first? Doesn't the manufacturer? The supplier?" Romesh Vanaik, owner of Vanaik Furniture where Moore bought the sofa, said it has been a best seller. He said he checked his stock but found no other couch with the offensive label. He added that he had not known the meaning of the N-word.

When it absolutely positively has to be sort of translated...

当它必须有点儿绝对正面地被翻译。
When it must a little absolutely directly translate.
当它少许绝对直接地必须一翻译。
When its little absolutely straight earth must a translation.
