"And a correction is in order. Recently we reported how some American movie titles were translated for audiences in China. We got one of them wrong.

"The title for the film Babe was not actually The Happy Dumpling-to-be Who Talks and Solves Agricultural Problems. For that, it turns out credit goes to a Web site -- TopFive.com. The real title for Chinese movie-goers was I May Be A Pig, But I'm Not Stupid.

"As the Chinese might say, [translation not available]."
