It's for a kind of bet -- no money, just my reputation as a smart-alec at stake! I have to write a haiku summing up James Joyce's Ulyssess in Japanese! Here's my English version: A day in the life, As a stream of consciousness, Of Leopold Bloom. Easy-peasy ... so far! Steve |

From: John MacKenzie Well Wifried that's what it said when I did it, somehow it got transmogrified into the gobbledegook I posted. Still I'm not sure if I don't like it better than the Japanese version, as it's got a few more letters I recognise, and I'm particularly fond of dipthongs. :~) Giok |

21 Oct 04 - 12:24 PM (#1303010) Subject: RE: BS: Quick Japanese translation required! From: Steve Parkes Thank you, thank you, thank you Masato! Mine doesn't have any literary merit either, so that's no problem. If you want to see where it went, it will be at the Open University Book Club (properly attributed) sometime later tonight or tomorrow. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. |
