a major translation booboo

I love languages.  Their nuances intrigue me. 



I never cease to be amazed by Chinese.  I am working with a group of college students on their senior thesis which is comparing two different translations of the same movie.  The choices a translator makes are just so interesting! 



From a different slant, I often can learn a lot about Chinese from the mistakes made in English when someone attempts to translate. 



So, what can we learn about the Hebrew language from this mistake someone made in translation?
