街常ぃ獺


Explanation:
For an English sentence such as "I trust no one" or "I don't trust anybody". the proper chinese translation will be и街常ぃ獺. Litrally, the Chinese sentence seems to mean "no one trusts me" but actually it means just the other way. This is what is interesting about Chinese language, but can be very confusing for English-speaking people.
