Your story reminds me of watching a TV show in Greece. On screen the characters said- Oh look, there's dad! But the translation read- Oh look, he's dead! Um, entirely different meaning.Alyson Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897651759587675373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30288535.post-18739118488259900322008-05-01T16:31:00.000-07:002008-05-01T16:31:00.000-07:00When I studied in Mexico, my friends and I loved t...When I studied in Mexico, my friends and I loved to go to the theater to watch American movies. Some of the translations weren't too bad, but others were awful. I'll never forget watching an action adventure movie. The hero tells someone to get out of the way in many, uh, unkind words and phrases. But on the screen it simply said the Spanish equivalent of "Go away". No one else in the theater could figure out why we were laughing so hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30288535.post-24371484101809544802008-05-01T07:48:00.000-07:002008-05-01T07:48:00.000-07:00I love looking at how languages translate--they re...I love looking at how languages translate--they really give you a new perspective on things. I wonder if there's a college course on that. I'd be fascinated. Like in Spanish--a person nevers drops the ball--the ball always drops from the person. <BR/><BR/>As for summer--I love getting tan. Not that I get all that tan anymore, and I don't even lay out--but it is nice to have a little color. I like to feel the sun on my skin as I do yard work or wash the car or play with the dogs.Brooke Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177241637323666700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30288535.post-54524150809566165382008-04-30T08:37:00.000-07:002008-04-30T08:37:00.000-07:00Hey Trish- That's so sweet!
