Tłumaczenie - Face (Angielski)

Hi Pia,

"does remind" is a syntax used to intensify the verb like "really/surely/etc." Therefore we don't usually use it together with those adverbs.

has liberate oneself ---> has liberated itself

For the last line I'd suggest:
"(It's) The greatest mess ever caused to European transport in peacetime."

What do you think?

Thanks a lot Lilian xx

Appreciate your explanation and also corrections. Hm.. I think I must work harder with the English, sorry for all faults. I'll correct.

reminds

Lilian,

I should have seen it before!! The first word in the last line is not translated, sorry! It should start with: "(The) Consequences are ..."

Is it fine now?

I hope so, Lilian! Thanks. I wonder if "chaos" is a better word than "mess" in this context, but I guess the poll will tell

Yes, Ernst..
What's the problem?

I am not any English expert but I vonder if "iðrum" is included in the sentence "liberated itself from the earth" and you translated "brotið sér leið" to "liberated"

You are right, I excluded "interior", thanks!

I thought broke free/ liberated was synonyms?? But if you prefer the other one, no problem. What about: "...broke free from the earth's interior"

It is about something that broke a way out from the interior of the earth.

"liberated itself from the earth" sounds like it isn't there anymore..

And you mean that, the current translation isn't about that??

Lilian... please, reject my translation!

You don't need to reject it. I'm just commenting your translation, that's what the poll is about

It is a monster face at the surface of the earth spewing fire and sulphur into the atmosphere. A volcano?

Yes, Ernst, you have understood the meaning.
The poll is for constructive critisism.

Ah, you must have edited your post (20 April 2010 10:43) at the same time as I answered. Cause "liberated itself from the earth" sounds like it isn't there anymore.. was NOT there then.

Hm, that is constructive critisism. So maybe: "broke free" is better?

Scary face indeed!

Yes it is a scary face. I saw it in our Faroese internet portal, and the picture crossed my mind when I saw this request

Jeg forstår oversættelsen jeg synes at den er fin. Jeg har flere men jeg har ingen poeng
