Waiting in line at the bank, traveling on the subway or just sitting in the comfort of your own home, who doesn't love a good episode of Cat and Mouse? Yes, the American cartoon 'Tom and Jerry' is loved in China too. And, since there is clearly just one television show with a feline and a...mouse, the Chinese translation for this show name just tells it like it is: "." (Mao1猫)Cat (He2和)and (Lao3shu3老鼠)Mouse.

it cracks me up that in chinese they have ridiculously simple transalations like that for some things and then they have totally complicated, involved ways of translating other terms.
