dchenesThis is too good not to share.
Our Practice of Translation prof is sick today, so the French class combined with the Japanese class tonight. We were given a passage of Genesis and asked to rewrite it for any specific audience and in any genre we wanted. The one that got me was a funny story in which Eve eating the apple turned into a hamster being run over with a lawnmower. Yeah, I know, ick, but how do you get from "and Eve ate the apple, and found it good" to running over a hamster with a lawnmower?
