Hiya All... Here are a couple of Chinese translations for you...

I wonder how much business they get. In Chinese, meaning often depends on variation in pitch, which is hard for Westerners to hear, much less speak. A Chinese friend told the story of an American missionary whose painfully learned "Our Father who art in Heaven..." came out "My pants are in the field." He had no idea why his congregation cracked up at the Lord's Prayer.
