So I recently came across an entertaining site called Translation Party, which translates an English phrase into Japanese and back and then into Japanese again until the program is able to come up with something that essentially means the same thing in both languages, inevitably mangling whatever you originally put in. So I thought it might be fun to run through a few famous quotes and see who here can figure out the most.
(Mods, I figured this was okay for Misc... I know it's a game thread, but it's closer to the weekly quizes than the Lounge games, so I felt this was the place. Let me know if you feel otherwise.)
That out of the way, here are your quotations, culled from a variety of writers\thinkers\politicians etc. I think all of them are pretty famous. PM me with your answers, and I'll reveal everything on, oh... say Friday?
1. The house itself is different from oneself.
2. 3 World War I World War Amuzuresu 4 stones one by one one one one one one one knows bars. (Double points for this one!
)
3. Closed the eyes of the world's only blind.
4. However, the country you live in the country - please. You can find something you like?
5. All the world stage, all male and female players only. His many roles, many people near the entrance of men.
6. I can not interfere with education.
7. As an absolute field of human conflict, some people are owed.
8. I need to get him. (This is also worth double points)
9. England out!
10. Each of my ability, accordingly, depending on your needs.
11. But I want to achieve immortality through my work from me ... I have to die to achieve.
12. This is a dangerous business outside the front door.
13. I belong to a member without the consent of their clubs.
14. So far, more will be removed from play. (Double points, again)
15. First, was not disabled in the shape of the earth.
Alrighty, that should be appropriately befuddling.
1 point for the quote, 1 point for the source. Good luck!
