Subject: [b-hebrew] Translation vs. Interpretation

Hello,
There is an old saying *Translation is treason*. The less related two
languages are, the more that is true. Sometimes even the simplest
expressions are difficult to translate adequately. Having learn to embarass
my self in a few Indo-European languages, I thought I was prepared for
learning B-Hebrew. Although I would hardly call myself fluent, it is simply
amazing how little of the *feel* of the text comes through in English
translations.
