Voltaire: «Candide»: fragment 2: three different English translations
In this video I present three different English translations of the SECOND fragment of this novel, and I invite you to determine (or to guess), which translation was made in 19th century, which in 20th century, and which now by me, non-native English speaker. Are you able to differentiate between an English text written by a non-native speaker and texts with similar content written by native speakers? The TEXTS of all these TRANSLATIONS and original French text of this fragment you can find HERE: https://vk.com/wall-239904718_7 or HERE: https://vk.com/wall310725345_1343 or HERE: https://vk.com/@yura_ecrlinf_linnik-voltaire-candide-fragment-2-three-different-english-translat ****
