I've played this game before and it's a lot of fun.

To play, you'll need to access the following website http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr or another translation website. You take a quote, any quote, from Firefly or Serenity and then translate it into Chinese. Then you translate the translation back into English. Then you post the now-mangled quote in this thread, and the next person who posts has to guess what the original quote was.

It sounds complicated, but it's really not! Here's an easy one to get you started.

Quote:


The human body is possibly drained the blood in 8.6 seconds the system which gives fully vacuums.



Have fun!

The second one was a giveaway for the first. But I can't remember the exact quotes. The first one's Kaylee's comment about the cow fetus to which Simon replies "You manage to see the good in every single thing", and the second one is Wash telling it that we're a peaceful race shortly afterwards...

No clue on the beans one.

However...

Oh, and I'm using Traditional. Haven't tried simplified at all so I have no idea if it makes a difference.
