love long, nested sentences. English prefers shorter, cle a rer ones. • Ex a mple from Text: • Germ a n: “Rund 700 hundert Jugendliche - a lle weiblich - und f a st a lle gleichzeitig hier im Plen a rs a a l des L a ndt a gs: D a s ist ein wirklich st a rkes Bild - d a s ist echte M ä dchenpower." • Liter a l: "Around 700 hundred youths - a ll fem a le - a nd a lmost a ll a t the s a me time here in the plen a ry h a ll of the st a te p a rli a ment: Th a t is a re a lly strong picture - th a t is re a l girl power." • Issues: • "hundert" repe a ted - ignore redund a ncy. • D a shes a nd colons bre a k f low in English. • Repetition of “th a t is” feels clunky. • Polished Tr a nsl a tion: “Around 700 young women, a ll g a thered a t once in the plen a ry h a ll of the St a te P a rli a ment.- now th a t’s a powerful im a ge, th a t’s re a l girl power.” • Str a tegy: • Split into two sentences or use a d a sh for emph a sis. • “Youths” -> “young women” for speci f icity a nd tone. • “Plen a rs a a l” -> “plen a ry h a ll” (technic a l term ret a ined). • Tip: • Look for subordin a ting conjunctions (e.g., “d a ss”, “ob”) a nd bre a k them into digestible chunks in English.
