words that strangers put in our mouths

legend-of-korra:

• The poster behind the Equalist protester is emblazoned with the character 平 (píng), meaning “equal”. The two side banners read 参加革命 (cānjiā gémìng), meaning “Join the revolution!”
• In the scene where Korra fights the triads, and the subsequent chase scene, many signs can be seen, most of which are repeated throughout the scene. They are 餃子 (jiǎozi), meaning “dumplings”; 新鲜蔬果 (xīnxiān shūguǒ), meaning “fresh vegetables and fruits”; 珠寶 (zhūbǎo), meaning “jewelery”; 雜貨店 (záhuòdiàn), meaning “general store”; 古董 (gǔdǒng), meaning “antiques; 書店 (shūdiàn) meaning “bookstore”; 理髮店 (lǐfàdiàn), meaning “barbershop”; 药材店 (yàocáidiàn), meaning “herbal medicine store”; 裁縫 (cáiféng), meaning “tailor”; 粉麵 (fěnmiàn), meaning “noodles”; 服裝店 (fúzhuāngdiàn), meaning “clothing store”; 針灸 (zhēnjiǔ), meaning “acupuncture”.
• The shop sign above the phonograph store being held up by the Triple Threat Triad reads 留声機 (liúshēngjī), meaning “phonographs”, and the sign on the clock store opposite reads 鐘表店 (zhōngbiǎodiàn), meaning “clock and watch store”.
