There are only 4-5 HUGELY popular western songs in China. They seem to be passed on from teachers to students, year after year, always diverging more and more from the original! One of these is, "Yesterday once more" by the Carpenters. So it was no surprise to see the lyrics posted up in a local shop the other day. And equally no surprise to find them starting well enough before descending quickly into a series of misquotes and typos. Will I never see accurate English in this country??
