Food for thought

Do you use google translate? Have you ever thought about how it works? Read this article.

Note: the translator has translated the idiomatic title into Hungarian perfectly well. So, somebody must have used that phrase in a translation earlier :)

And this is what the 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' has to say about translation:

Sitting here resting my bones

This is a pretty cool way of wasting time. I wholeheartedly recommend it. "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding. Watch, listen and read. Or just lie back and whistle along :)




Lyrics:

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again

[Refrain]
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I had nothin to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So I'm just...
[Refrain]

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just...
