You couldn’t construct a Chinese sentence with dual meanings? Maybe not this one, but any? I know literally no Chinese, so I can’t cite an example; but I thought completely unambiguous communication was why constructed languages like lojban exist.
edit: In a question about grammar, I used redundant words, but I can’t think of a better replacement for “construct” in either case. I tried, though.
