【明報專訊】Pat and Bill go for a leisurely walk on Hong Kong Island. Not aware of a mistranslation, Pat thinks she can shop to her heart's content!

“ Pat: I'm going to shop like a queen on Queen's Road Central (皇后大道中)! ”

“ Bill: The ''Queen'' here means a female sovereign and refers to Queen Victoria (維多利亞女王). Are you sure you're ready to rule a country? The Chinese name is a mistranslation! ”
