Proverb 103

2006-08-30 | proverb

Ha-ze-ra-n:(Sa-n-ji-so)

Translators, traitors.

It's hard to translate one language to another, because each language has it's own culture and the way of thinking.
So translating one language to another is very difficult.

And a translator stands on both sides,  so he is said to be like a betrayer.
