Thackeray: English to Spanish to English

As I mentioned last night, someone took the trouble to translate one of my archived pages into Spanish, using the Google translating function.

Let's see what happens if we translate some of it back!



"the traviesos are traviesos, no doubt, and they are lost and they lowered, and they come by its deserts; but who can say to the prank which does the very virtuous ones " That one is Thackeray for you, and you are its birthday today -- it was born in Calcutta in 1811. He could not find any thing that sounded good at the moment in my Victorian Cookbook -- it has pleasant things in him nevertheless, they who all as soon as he sounded to too much stodgy today. Therefore, obeying a colonialista impulse, we are having shrimp to curry. And we will read a small piece outside fair of the vanity -- I must take it towards outside again; It reread every 10 years or therefore, but I have not watched it in awhile. He moves backwards when the BBC happened with his "we go to film each always written stage of the novel of Victorian", demonstrated a version of the TV which he was pretty to entertain -- the baby watched the first part of her with me, and was SCANDALIZED of Becky Sharp, as in fact all we must be -- in his case, although, was because she really sent a book outside the window of a movable car. A BOOK, I say to him. How badly he is that one! All sexual his shenanigans and greediness never did no mind to him. She sent a book of a window. That one is everything what he needed to know. That one is surely one of the ways that you can recognize a future serial assassin, the right? The friends of Torments, animals of the tortures, send books of windows? Like the content doing point today: The behavior goes here for the interpretation of Thackeray of the spin-coil and its relation spider-like a, and here for the illustration of Thackeray of how a certain seam class -- he does not look like to take care of much exactly of what class is -- can be used in later phases of courtship. Yes, I think that I will go reread Thackeray. Vista charitable Clara-eyed but of the foibles of the human beings, and a sense of pleasant solid humor.


Very nice! (Here's the original, by the way.)
