Re: Alenka Lewise Carolla - líbí se vám?

Alenku nenávidím v českém překladu, žádný z těch dvou není podle mého gusta.
Alenka v originále je NÁDHERNÁ! Tolik věcí zní česky strašně, ale anglicky to je super. Moje nejoblíbenější (z mnoha) je:

Poor Alice! It was as much as she could do, lying down on one side, to look through into the garden with one eye; but to get through was more hopeless than ever: she sat down and began to cry again.

“You ought to be ashamed of yourself,” said Alice, “a great girl like you” (she might well say this), “to go on crying in this way! Stop this moment, I tell you!”

But she went on all the same, shedding gallons of tears, until there was a large pool all round her, about four inches deep, and reaching half down the hall.

(...)

“I wish I hadn’t cried so much!” said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out. “I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears!

No neí to přímo ze života?
