    • le mu xamgu pe lo nunji'e

    Posted by adamgarrigus on Sun 14 of Dec, 2008 22:51 GMT posts: 92

    I've added a translation of Mark Twain's "The five boons of life" to the
    wiki: <
    http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=le+mu+xamgu+pe+lo+nunji%27e<http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=nuncanci+la+krispinas+ambylis>>.
    It comes to about 1100 words. Please feel free to comment and ask
    questions. Also, would someone please add links to this & my previous
    translation <
    http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=nuncanci+la+krispinas+ambylis>
    to the "Texts in Lojban" page's "Short Stories" section? I don't seem
    to
    have edit privileges for that page. Thanks.

    That's odd. Were you logged in? Anyway I have added them.

    A couple of comments on the translation:

    >> ca lo cerni pe'a pe lo nunji'e

    Woudn't "lo cerni _be_ lo nunji'e" make more sense here? With "pe" the
    point of cerni seems to be lost, it's just some morning associated
    with life, not the early part of life.

    >> .i je na zgana le selklaku poi ke'a tolcanci bu'u le kanla be le racycrida

    You don't really need "bu'u" there. I think "zgana" is intentional, so
    "ganse" would make more sense.

    >> .i je ca bu'u vreta fa zo'e no'u le dibrai je ro moi

    Maybe "nau" instead of "ca bu'u"? "ti" instead of "zo'e"?

    >>.i le nanca be li su'o re cu ba'o ctuca do lo kamprije vau ju'o

    "le nanca be li su'o re" makes it seem as if the fairy was not aware
    that many more than two years had passed.

    Of course. Thanks.

    Yes and yes.

    Yes again. I suppose I'll go with {so'o}.
