Levi's ad translation
Saw this person asking how to say this in English in HiNative - a Levi's ad that's in Chinese.
Using I-should-try-to-help as an excuse for procrastination, below's my attempt at translating it, after revisions.
The world is changing.
Are you the one who will change the world?
Have you ever decided which path the ship of destiny will go?
Straight on, or just go with the flow?
From the first moment to the last,
has the world ever changed because of you?
You yourself, with your backpack,
you already have everything you need going forward.
You shall write your own motto.
You shall create your own legend.
This era is ours.

Which translation are you more inclined towards?
Came upon this sentence during class, "He that makes himself a sheep shall be eaten by the wolf."
Translation of the above would depend on how one interprets the meaning.
How would you translate it to be? Of the two translations below, which are you more inclined towards?
(1) 扮猪吃老虎的人会被狼吃。
(2) 不努力把自己变强的人会被吞没。

Shared by Teacher during class:
There was this person who doesn't speak Chinese. Let's call him A. He went to visit this Chinese couple with a friend who speaks Chinese. Let's call this friend T.
At the door, the Chinese couple greeted A and T. Being the polite person A is, he told the Chinese man (let's call this guy M), "Your wife is very pretty." T proceeds to help with interpretating.
T: 你的太太很漂亮。
M smiles at A: 哪里哪里。
T turns to A: Where? Where?
A blinks: ... Everywhere! From head to toe.

A picture of interlingual translation and intersemiotic translation together.
Lucky it does not come with a real cockroach pic.
