And I blame my iPad not being able to type those letters when I was looking up the words.<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestions, Mihai. I'll incorporate them into a later rendering when I do get around to writing the review later this year.<br /><br />Y suerte con español! :DLarry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-90906003809339595092014-02-03T02:31:45.769-06:002014-02-03T02:31:45.769-06:00I am improving my reading in Spanish this year. I ...I am improving my reading in Spanish this year. I meant to do it for quite some time but other things came in the way. However, this year I read each day and I am already starting to use the dictionary less and less. And I love all this process. :)<br />That's a very nice choice you have there and I am very curious to see what you think of one of our most important novels. There are some very interesting particularities there.<br />You're doing quite good with the new language. However there are a couple of things in your translation that need correction:<br />"like a huge bell" for "ca un clopot uriaș"<br />gallows, gibbet or hanging instead of hangman for "spânzurătoare"<br />"stretched its arm" instead of his<br />"short, dark corporal" works better<br />"a peasant with a hairy and red face" - there is no daugther there, it is the difference between fata (girl/daughter) and faţa/faţă (face)<br />"huffing painstakingly" works better<br />Anyway, you're doing a great job, Larry! Congratulations! :)Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.com
