A whole bunch of other Spanish writers as well, but him particularly.orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-35082828102496077542011-01-02T13:23:05.446-08:002011-01-02T13:23:05.446-08:00Congrats on the reading.

I remember the translations of some episodes of the Simpsons, for example, where the French translators took the liberty of trying to transpose American cultural references to French ones. I guess it has to do with accessibility. But that's also why I'd rather see things in the original version (although I'm not fluent in Japanese, or Catalan, or plenty of other languages...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-57048716072402029872010-12-26T08:44:55.985-08:002010-12-26T08:44:55.985-08:00OH Kim, I am sorry he was so upset.

Sometimes they just crash and have to cry to deal with it all, I hope it was nothing more serious and that you had a nice Christmas at the end of it all, both of you.<br /><br />JG, It is lovely isn't it. We had a very merry Christmas and a very peaceful Boxing day too.orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-20517939685312704942010-12-26T06:50:57.422-08:002010-12-26T06:50:57.422-08:00No way to beat that "Oh!

I'm trying my best to hold the magic, whilst finishing up last minute wrapping (I spent 10 of my waking hours yesterday looking after other people's children - along with my own - some of it unexpectedly), baking and magic-making. I just want to soak my sore back and crawl under the covers waiting for Santa myself!Kimhttp://thebodhichicklet.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
