"Toute ma vie, j'ai eu de la chance...Ma première est d'être né pauvre. Les pauvres véhiculent la richesse. Les riches, la misère. Comment puis-je respecter une société qui m'a refusé du pain, enfant? Qui m'a refusé de l'argent pour acheter de quoi calmer les douleurs de mon père cancéreux." | Remarks about the translation | propos tirés de la biographie de Lucio Urtubia dans le film "Lucio". Ce film sera projeté le 31 mars au Majestic à Paris. à voir... |

| I've been lucky all my life... First of all, I was born poor. | | Target language: English
I've been lucky all my life... First of all, I was born poor. Poor people transmit the richness. Wealthy people, the poverty. How can I respect a society which refused me some bread, child? Which has denied me the money to buy something to relieve the pains of my cancerous father? |

"At first, I was born poor" should read:
For one thing, I was born poor.
or
To start with, I was born poor.
The expression should show that the person will probably enumerate several things, one after another. Do you get it?
"...a society which refuse d me the bread, when a child?
"Which has denied me the money to buy something to relieve the pain s of my cancerous father?
What do you think?

Wouldn't be better if I wrote "FIRST OF ALL, I was born poor"?
...and "a society which refused me SOME bread, child"?
| | | 1 Tháng 4 2008 17:44 | | | Não acho que a tradução esteja completamente fiel ao original. No original em francês a palavra refusé ocorre duas vezes, enquanto que na tradução em inglês são usadas as palavras "refused" e "denied"; a primeira, erroneamente. Além disso o parágrafo e a interrogação no fim do texto não ocorrem no original. | | | 1 Tháng 4 2008 17:53 | | | "Which" should be changed by "what" | | | 1 Tháng 4 2008 19:52 | | | "Richness" should be changed with "wealth".
And unless Diego is metaphorically associating poverty with misery, I believe the sentence should read, "Wealthy people, misery." |
