X Limited 5 meals / I can only take 60 g from one head
Tim says:
Who is “I” in this sentence? It’s very strange for a sign to be written in the first person (一人称). (Can you imagine a restaurant sign in Japanese that said 「私は６０gしか撮れません」?) This sentence should be written in passive voice (受動態).
Just like 頭 in Japanese, we count cattle by using “head” in English. But as this sign as written, there’s no context, so it feels like it means meat is being removed from a human head! Well, it’s almost Halloween!
O Limited to 5 meals / Only 60g of meat can be taken from one cow
