Could anyone translate this Chinese(?) word/phrase?

[clocker]

It says "Uma Thurman Signature Model".

Somehow I knew no one would take this seriously.

Go for a walk with it and accost every oriental person you see and ask them to translate it,see how long it takes for the cops to arrest/shoot you.

Literal translation:

“Recent/Now” “Ancient” “Have/Possess” “God/Spirit” “Worship/Admire” “Willpower” “Warrior/Scholar”


Each quotation is obviously one character.


Now putting it together:


1. Now and then there are spirits who admire and watch over strong-willed warriors.

or

2. Now and in the past there have been gods that reward those strong-minded scholars of worship.



The first translation should be the most valid seeing it is a carving on a sword.

I don't know if you've sussed it yet. I know a chinese girl I could ask to check it, she is fluent, every month. I will ask her for a literal translation.

M'kay then. You can ask, but it's quite pointless, because I'm completely fluent in Chinese.

Well you have a point; but it might also have meaning to it that transcends the individual pictograms. .Also and more important Seedler, a point that you totally overlooked, she's female and will visit me in my house.

It's Japanese and it says:

''read it sideways westerner''
