hey guys I know this is completely random, but is there a chance anyone here has the ability to translate this mandarin or cantonese (I think?) text?   the image itself on there is just 2 kittens, so I know it's probably not anything deep or meaningful... but this poster was given to my girlfriend by her father, whom sadly has now passed away from cancer and it means alot to her. If anyone could please assist with this, you would be my hero. thank you |

My wife speaks Chinese. When she gets back I'll get her to take a look at it.

I can take a partial shot at this. Don't take this as 100% accurate.
I can't identify two of the characters (and not sure that I'm right on all the identified characters), so I got the following:
天真活液含稚氭迎賱撲（？）我芳（？）
Put the first 10 characters into Google Translate and you get "Naive live fluid with juvenile..."

Here comes the help hand you need! :-) The original mandarin Chinese characters are: 天真活潑含稚氣
迎暉撲蝶戲芳叢
______________________________________ Below let me break down these characters / words for you: 天真: Naive
活潑：vivacious
含稚氣：containing the feel of innocence and childishness
迎輝：Facing the sun light
撲蝶：Trying to catch the butterflies
戲芳叢：Play among the blossom of flowers
So a smooth translation for these two lines could be: Playing around among the flowers and chasing the butterfly under the sunshine, they are so cute, naive and adorable.
_____________________________________________________ Literally these two lines are depicting the two little kittens in the picture, but actually your GF's father was referring to her dear daughter, I believe. Man fond of her daughter. Hope you like this translation. [Complimentary by A.C.T. Mandarin Translation] |

Woops sorry. I asked her about this and forgot bro reply. She struggled with the translation because apparently it's calligraphy so there's a deeper meaning than the actual translation. She's not good at calligraphy. She asked her boss about it and he couldn't suss it either.
But seems Tonywang cracked it.

"Naive young fluid with juvenile" sounds like some deep web porn topic |
