Hi, Ed! Recently you wrote in a message to All:
EV> I have been reading some messages in this forum and began
EV> to think about The Night Show years ago when Jack Parr was
EV> the host
EV> Some nights he would have 4 or 5 people who could use
EV> multiple languages.
I reckon translation is as much an art as a science...
EV> Jack would (whisper?) tell a short story ( or joke) to one
EV> of the guest. Each guest would say the story to another
EV> guest but in another language. When the story was told to
EV> the last member of the group they would tell Jack and the
EV> audience in English what they heard and most times the story
EV> was very different than it was first told
... and when I was growing up a very similar game was often
played at children`s parties. It may take a few more repetitions when
everyone speaks the same language. On TV, however, the action must leave
time for commercials.
As a teacher, I learned later that if you say "There are red &
yellow chrysanthemums in Mr. McGarrity`s garden" you may have exceeded the
outer limits of someone`s auditory memory &/or they didn`t understand all
your words.... :-)
