A literal translation of a text

English
1 answer:
Darina [25.2K]3 years ago
8 0
A literal translation of a text is word-for-word translation from one language to another. It does not consider the sense or thought of the sentence.

For example: Translating from Tagalog to English. Tagalog is the national dialect of the Filipino people.

"Nahuhulog na ako sa iyo" means I'm falling for you.

If a literal translation is done, this would be the result

Nahuhulog = falling
na = (no english equivalent)
ako = me
sa = (no english equivalent)
iyo = you 

"falling NA me SA you" is the literal translation. I'm falling for you is the translation of the essence of the message.

At the end of chapter 10 how does Huck decide he will get information from town
inn [45]

Answer: Huck wonders about the dead man, but Jim warns that it’s bad luck to think about such things. Huck has already incurred bad luck, according to Jim, by finding and handling a snake’s shed skin. Sure enough, bad luck comes: as a joke, Huck puts a dead rattlesnake near Jim’s sleeping place, and its mate comes and bites Jim. Jim’s leg swells but gets better after several days. A while later, Huck decides to go ashore to get information. Jim agrees, but has Huck disguise himself as a girl, using one of the dresses they took from the houseboat. Huck practices his girl impersonation and then sets out for the Illinois shore. In a formerly abandoned shack, he finds a woman who looks about forty years old and appears to be a newcomer to the town. Huck is relieved because, as a newcomer, the woman will not be able to recognize him. Still, he resolves to remember that he is pretending to be a girl.

What theme is supported by the excerpt?
andrew11 [14]

The theme that is supported by the excerpt is that people should indulge their curiosities. From the excerpt, we can infer that Odysseus’s curiosity about the Cyclops is much stronger than this good judgment. It is because Odysseus wanted to see whether the Cyclops had anything to give to him and to his men or not.
