  • The image is pretty blurry, but I’m seeing:

    窗户己限位请勿高空抛物

    Which Google translate renders as “The windows are limited. Please do not throw objects at high altitudes.” Which still seems kind of mangled, but at least resembles something potentially reasonable.

    Maybe someone who actually speaks the language will show up to help us out.

    Latin also used apple as a stand-in for generic fruit, cf. malum persicum (“Persian apple”) meaning peach.

    And, fun fact, the English word “pineapple” was originally synonymous with “pinecone” (i.e. the fruit of the pine tree).
