Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's sad I know that book was made in Latin.

That's what I get for taking two semesters of it, though. XD

So if I go out and buy Green Eggs and Ham in Latin (yes, they made one in Latin), does that make it a different book? xd

In my opinion, yes. xd

It is not, it's the same story in a different language. rofl

It would be a lot less amusing if it were a real debate. rofl

So just because it's the same story means it's the same book?

What about retellings? Are you saying that Disney's Beauty and the Beast DVD is the same thing as the original French novel? No difference at all?

No, that's not what I'm saying. If it's the same story, meaning there isn't any significant difference between them, they are the same story. Now, I might be naive, but when something is translated, it should be the same, aside from maybe a few words that don't work in the language being translated to. Altering the plot or details makes it a different story.
Pfft. XD

Btw, shorten the quote trees. Too many gifs and taking up too much room.

Well, when you get in the habit of comparing translations, so many of them are sooooooooo different.

I can't say I've ever been in the habit of comparing translations, the only books I've read in more than one language were The Stranger by Albert Camus and The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende. sweatdrop As I said, though, call me naive for it, I just stick to the language I know best. xd
Jenny is going to sleep now. Have fun with your debate. XD
