Enjoy- Intransitive / transitive verb

I know that Enjoy is always used as a transitive verb and only as an intransitive in imperative sentences in some specific context. However, as native speakers, do you think enjoy is correctly used in this sentence: '' Enjoy upon your personal preference'' (it's written on a noodle package), or should it be '' Enjoy it upon your personal preference''?


Solution 1:

"Enjoy upon your personal preference"(it's written on a noodle package), or should it be "Enjoy it upon your personal preference"?

The sentences are both what is known as "Chinglish" - See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinglish

Chinglish is slang for spoken or written English language that is influenced by a Chinese language.... This term is commonly applied to ungrammatical or nonsensical English in Chinese contexts]

Examples of Chinglish can be found on the internet. The site LTL Mandarin School has a selection with the explanation of how the mistranslation has arisen and why the Chinglish is wrong.

Chinglish is seen as a problem in China and the Shanghai Commission for the Management of Language Use has had a drive to eradicate it since 2008.

"Upon personal preference" is not idiomatic, and, as used, seems to be a very poor and/or literal translation of a Chinese phrase.
