Tusang Huiming: Confusion about COACH bags My wife is preparing to return to China. My aunts, classmates and friends in China who know the news have called and written me. Can you bring me and us an American brand-name bag, preferably from COACH? COACH? I really don't understand how to translate it into Chinese. You see, "Mercedes-Benz" and "Mazda" are translated in many ways. The words must have a sound and a meaningful meaning. But COACH is not good. The translation of "enough to eat" is too shabby. If you have money to buy famous brands, you must be able to make a living. If you say "eat" to the sky, it is too poor; let's say "picking lice", it is too dirty. That is the activity of the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain. This lady's bag has the air of carrying a cannon in the past. This name is too damaging to the image of the owner of the bag. Moreover, both translations have imperfections in pronunciation. Let’s take the original meaning of the word COACH. It’s not appropriate to call it “coach”. What image does a good-looking young girl look like carrying a training bag containing smelly socks and dirty shoes? Therefore, after much thought, the most appropriate choice is "妞锛". "馋" has a touching rhyme, and "還" means like a tiger adding wings to its wings. If a woman goes out on the street without carrying that bag, she won't even know where to put her hands. This is called a famous brand. Well, if the name is correct, then the words will be correct, and if the words are correct, then the story will be true. So, we carefully ask, what kind of bag are you going to buy? Everyone has different aesthetic concepts, but the answer from wealthy Chinese people is roughly the same: five to six thousand yuan, anything less than ten thousand yuan will do. I took a breath of air-conditioning. Ten thousand yuan is equivalent to about 1,200 yuan in US dollars. You can buy a used car in the United States. Do the ladies in China just buy it and hang it on them? Even though the women on the street are walking with bags on their shoulders, looking complacent and looking around, in a very bourgeois manner, in fact, there is nothing in their bags. The dignified US Secretary of State Hillary is considered a hero among women. Someone leaked the bag, saying that it was to keep her spirits high. The most common things in the bag were chili powder and pepper. So I asked my friend again, isn’t it just a bag? Do you have to be that particular? You don’t understand. Our younger friends taught us respectfully. Now that Chinese (women) don’t have this kind of bag, they are out! Although we are a few years older and have been abroad for a few years, we yearn for dreams and youth in our hearts. We are most afraid that young people will say that we are behind the times or out. So nod quickly and nod again. However, I would also like to add that here (the United States) is no longer like the past. Almost all products, including high-end products, are made in China. The most expensive "Coco Wings" are also Made in China. If you buy a domestic product back home, are you afraid of being criticized? Hey, you are old-fashioned, the young man laughed on the phone, I have my bag on my back, who will look through the labels! Besides, people who are not familiar with it will not be able to find the mark of Made in China. I felt praised by the young people, and my confidence suddenly became full - I also accompanied my wife to buy bags, and I found it in a corner inside the bag to kill the boredom. The majestic “Made in China” national logo is actually hidden in the folds at the bottom of the bag! He made things for others, helped them make money, and hid his reputation in a humble manner. The domestic businessmen were really well-educated. Times are indeed different. In the past, when your friends asked you to bring things with you, they wanted to buy them cheaply from the United States. Now that you have money, you are angry and want a bag of the best quality. The salesperson in the mall brought us one "cow wings" after another with a smile on her face. Now that the economy is not good, she probably hasn't laughed like this for a long time. We are also happy that we have finally made a big investment in stimulating the US economy. However, the joy did not last long. When we packed our bags and were ready to rest, our American neighbor next door knocked on the door. This person is a masseur, and her husband is a medical device manufacturer, and his income is pretty good. You have returned to China. She asked her wife covertly, "Can you help me bring a COACH bag back from China?" What, what? We were almost confused by the question, is today the "Kuo Chi" Festival? There are so many COACHs in the United States, why should we go to China to buy "Coach Wings"? My friend recently bought COACH from China for only $80, she added. We suddenly understood. Americans have always criticized China for not respecting intellectual property rights and abhorring piracy, but this person really couldn't bear to spend thousands of dollars to buy a bag. He would rather put down his wealth and go to China to buy a pirated parallel import. Americans have always been very practical. It's nice to have a name tag hanging on your shoulder to carry things, so why be too particular about it. What's more, the economic environment is already like this. If you don't have money, you can only make do with it. Within a day, another young girl taught us. The difference was that this time it was an American girl. I nodded quickly again, that's right, that's right, as long as it works. At the same time, he told his wife in dialect that he would come back to Qipu Road (a small commodity market in Shanghai) and help her find a bargain. For us, it is just a package purchase, which will stimulate the economies of the two places. But I still have some confusion. Why do Chinese people go to the United States to buy Chinese-made COACH when they have money, instead of buying Chinese "Coach" locally? I think it's like China buying U.S. Treasury bonds. If you buy them, you won't be OUT.
