10 August 2008 07:22 | | | Nice translation, buketnur, but there are a few corrections:
You should probably put a comment underneath it, saying that the Kordon is a famous seaside area of Izmir.
phaetons --> horse-drawn carriages
One of them will go and one of them will come --> As one goes, another will come (it's more poetic-sounding)
Also, you need "the" before "gulf". | | |
10 August 2008 11:37 | | | Thanks kafetzou, I made these changes.
But should I write "horse-drawn carriages" istead of "phaetons"?

10 August 2008 19:03 | | | I have never heard the word "phaeton" in English, but I just checked my big Oxford Dictionary, and it's in there, so I guess it's your choice. I just asked my monolingual boyfriend, too, and he knew what it was, so I guess it's OK. |
