continuing the series on lost in language transfer
the initials DXC definitely represent "da xue cheng" 大學成... but it doesnt really make sense to me as if this is a cram school or cram school for youngsters aiming for majoring in Fine Arts, or? The English and Chinese texts point at different directions with no mention of "arts" in the English text. Hmmm must be the work of a two-headed beast in the PR department of this SME.
繼續 遺失於語言移轉 系列
上大學跟美術有啥關係？ 美術的天賦也許不能強逼出來吧。這中英分歧的廣告真令人摸不著頭腦。

I think the English text is the advertising slogan for this cram school. Nevertheless, it is bad English.
What do you think of this?

haha good catch! I am wondering why they use "restroom" in the first place since it is American English.
