Synopsis

Funny Translation Fails explores the often humorous, sometimes disastrous, world of mistranslation, highlighting the pivotal role accurate language plays in our globalized society. The book demonstrates how translation errors can stem from simple vocabulary mishaps or deeper cultural misinterpretations, leading to unexpected consequences in various fields. For example, a mistranslated marketing slogan can damage a brand's image, while a diplomatic faux pas can strain international relations.

 
The book adopts an engaging approach, progressing from fundamental translation concepts to real-world case studies drawn from advertising, diplomacy, and more. It examines different categories of "translation fails," such as literal translations that yield humorous results and cultural misunderstandings that skew intended meanings. By providing insights from linguists and cultural experts, Funny Translation Fails offers both entertainment and practical guidance for anyone interested in language learning and global communication.

 
Ultimately, this book emphasizes the importance of culturally sensitive communication. It showcases how a keen understanding of language nuances can help avoid embarrassing blunders and facilitate smoother interactions in an increasingly interconnected world. The book serves as both a cautionary tale and an entertaining guide, demonstrating the power of accurate translation in shaping our global culture.

    Frank Norris. The ship that saw a ghost.Frank Norris's intriguing and atmospheric tale of an old forgotten crime, a tragedy, an ancient derelict ghost ship... and the very bizarre reaction of the modern tramp steamer whose bows she crosses.Jack London. To build a fire."To Build a Fire" is a short story by American author Jack London. There are two versions of this story, one published in 1902 and the other in 1908. The story written in 1908 has become an often anthologized classic, while the 1902 story is less well known. The 1908 version is about an unnamed protagonist who ventures out in the subzero boreal forest of the Yukon Territory. He is followed by a native dog and is en route to visit his friends—ignoring warnings from an older man about the dangers of hiking alone in extreme cold. The protagonist underestimates the harsh conditions and slowly begins to freeze to death. After building one fire and leaving it to venture on in his journey he later on attempts to build another but fails. He slips into unconsciousness and dies of hypothermia...Edgar Allan Poe. The pit and the pendulum."The Pit and the Pendulum" is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842 in the literary annual The Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1843. The story is about the torments endured by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, though Poe skews historical facts. The narrator of the story describes his experience of being tortured. The story is especially effective at inspiring fear in the reader because of its heavy focus on the senses, such as sound, emphasizing its reality, unlike many of Poe's stories which are aided by the supernatural.

    The Babel Message - A Love...

    'Quite simply, and quite ridiculously, one of the funniest and most illuminating books I have ever read. I thought I was obsessive, but Keith Kahn-Harris is playing a very different sport. He really has discovered the whole world in an egg.' Simon Garfield
    A thrilling journey deep into the heart of language, from a rather unexpected starting point.
    
    Keith Kahn-Harris is a man obsessed with something seemingly trivial - the warning message found inside Kinder Surprise eggs:
    
    WARNING, read and keep: Toy not suitable for children under 3 years. Small parts might be swallowed or inhaled.
    
    On a tiny sheet of paper, this message is translated into dozens of languages - the world boiled down to a multilingual essence. Inspired by this, the author asks: what makes 'a language'? With the help of the international community of language geeks, he shows us what the message looks like in Ancient Sumerian, Zulu, Cornish, Klingon - and many more. Along the way he considers why Hungarian writing looks angry, how to make up your own language, and the meaning of the heavy metal umlaut.
    
    Overturning the Babel myth, he argues that the messy diversity of language shouldn't be a source of conflict, but of collective wonder. This is a book about hope, a love letter to language.
    'This is a wonderful book. A treasure trove of mind-expanding insights into language and humanity encased in a deliciously quirky, quixotic quest. I loved it. Warning: this will keep you reading.' - Ann Morgan, author of Reading the World: Confessions of a Literary Explorer
