Oversættelse - Finsk-Engelsk - The Day the Earth Stood Still

Hi itsatrap,

If that "man" means "human beings", "humanity" it should be in caps.

You know, you're right about that Lilian. I changed it to mankind.

The Chinese literally reads:
---
If the earth dies, humanity will not continue to exist.
If one person dies, the earth will continue spinning as it is now.
---

However, I seriously doubt that this is a mistranslation! (It doesn't fit the movie's story...)

Yes, ihminen, could mean one person or mankind, humanity. .. "If one person dies" would be "Jos yksi ihminen kuolee.." maapallo jatkaa pyörimistään niin kun se nyt tekee.

I think we need help from someone who can make clear if the Chinese version conveys the Finn.

Please Maribel, could you help us here?

Sorry, but I don't speak Chinese...

The Finnish and the English are equivalent (and mankind fits very well to the message in Finnish).

Hi Ian, I think there are some differences in the Chinese version which may need a few changes.
According to Maribel, the English version is accurate.

I thought you might say that, Maribel.
