I don't like surveillance cameras, because they can see everything we do. I do like the fact that if we are attacked, we can see who our attacker is. |

Freya Number of messages: 1910 | Hmm...the last phrase isn't more like: " But I do like the fact that if we're being attacked, we can see who our attacker is." ?  | | |
17 June 2008 11:36 | | | The original French text is shot through with spelling errors, but I think a more exact translation would be:
I don't like surveillance cameras because others can see everything we do. I quite like them because if we are attacked, we can see who our attacker is
The French "on" is often difficult to translate, and has to be done from the context...
But of course the original text should be cleaned up...  | | |
17 June 2008 11:51 | | | I did not translate the text exactly from French, because indeed it has some error in it.
The use of the verbs is not exact as in French, but as long as people understand it, it is ok.
Not?
