| | Mie mi se pare a fi temă, după modul în care sunt construite frazele şi folosite timpurile verbelor. Aştept şi alte opinii, până atunci, traducerea rămâne în stand-by. Voi ce ziceţi? CC: Måddie Freya azitrad |

| | Înclin şi eu să cred că este temă. CC: iepurica |

| FreyaIdadi ya ujumbe: 1910 | Bine, poate să fie şi pentru altcineva presupusa "temă"...Oricum, am văzut că pe aici se traduc foarte multe poezii, citate, versuri de la melodii, lucruri mai artistice. Ceea ce ţine de partea aceasta se traduce mai greu de obicei, dar se poate. |

| | ok, oscot atunci din stand-by. |

| | Hi girls, I'd like to know what is going on here.
The translation is done and I have to evaluate it. Should I go ahead or is there anyething wrong with the original?

| | Hi Lilian, I don't think there's something wrong with the original.
We thought that it could be homework, but it was not. |
| | 31 Januari 2009 20:45 |
| | Oh, OK, then I'll evaluate it.
Tzicu,
There's a typo in "joureny"
"The blacksmith killed the dragon and took the Water, and returned to the girl."
I think there's an extra "and" there. Also is that "the blacksmith" or "the blacksmith's son"?
"The girl of sugar"?
"but his parents were not there anymore"
Tell me what you think. |

| | Hello Lilly,
Thank you for your suggestions. I have done some changes regarding 'and' and 'there'.
Regarding 'the girl of sugar': that's what the text calls her. About the 'blacksmith': the text calls him first 'the blacksmith's son' and then he himself is called 'the blacksmith'. It was confusing for me too, but that is what the text states.
Have a wonderful Sunday. |

| | A few small things:
a izvorî din...---> to spring from...
apa vie a vieţii veşnice--->vie was not translated
parinţii lui nu mai erau— I think the meaning is that they were not alive anymore.

| | Thank you Maddie.
I wonder if 'the [b]Living[b/] Water of Eternal Life' is not a redundant information; that was the reason I said only 'Water of Eternal Life'.

| | Well, it's your translation and your decision. That's how it goes with tales, , in this case the water was alive too... apart from being eternal.
I still think that when it says the parents were not there anymore it means that he returned after a long time and they were gone. |

| | "fata de zahăr" sugests a girl who was made of sugar (I'm talking about the Romanian text). Our stories are full of these kind of characters, "made" of different materials.
And I also agree about the second last row of the English translation. It should be "but his parents were not alive anymore". |
| | 1 Februari 2009 16:53 |
| | I have changed into 'were not alive'. I guess the meaning is more likely to be the one you two have sugested.
Thank you |
