It’s time for Sonderling Sunday<\/a>, that time of the week when I play with language by looking at the German translation of children’s books. This week, we’re back to the book that started it all, The Order of Odd-Fish<\/a><\/em>, by James Kennedy<\/a>, otherwise known as Der Orden der Seltsamen Sonderlinge<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last time<\/a>, we left off ready to begin Chapter Twenty-Five! There are twenty-eight chapters in the book, so we have almost given tidbits from the entire book — without giving away the plot, I might add. I hope I have merely tantalized my readers, while giving them handy phrases to use the next time they travel to Germany. This first sentence, for example, could come in handy:<\/p>\n

“Jo didn’t remember how she got back to the lodge.”
\n= Jo konnte sich nicht daran erinnern, wie sie zum Logenhaus zur\u00fcckgekommen war.<\/em><\/p>\n

“crumpled” = zerknittert<\/em><\/p>\n

“boiled furiously” = kochte brodelnd<\/em><\/p>\n

“twisting up her guts” = verdrehte ihr die Ged\u00e4rme<\/em><\/p>\n

“exhausted” = ersch\u00f6pft<\/em><\/p>\n

Sometimes the translator just had to draw out and explain the playful English:
\n“Her brain itched with needles and worms and fizzing sparks”
\n= Nadeln schienen sie ins Hirn zu stechen, W\u00fcrmer wanden sich und Funken stoben<\/em>
\n(“Needles seemed her in the brain to pierce, worms writhed and sparks flew”)<\/p>\n

“pleaded” = angefleht<\/em><\/p>\n

“slosh around” = herumschwappte<\/em><\/p>\n

“rattled and bounced” = ratternd und schaukelnd<\/em><\/p>\n

“exciting” = aufregend<\/em><\/p>\n

“enticing” = verlockende<\/em><\/p>\n

“exuberant crowd” = ausgelassene Menge<\/em><\/p>\n

“disinfectant” = Desinfektionsmittel<\/em><\/p>\n

“opposite corner” = gegen\u00fcberliegenden Ecke<\/em><\/p>\n

I hope<\/em> you’ll never say this, but here it is if you need it:
\n“If you die, too bad.”
\n= Wenn ihr sterbt, Pech gehabt.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Razzle-dazzle” = Tamtam<\/em><\/p>\n

“Deceit” = Arglist<\/em><\/p>\n

“left big toe” = linken dicken Zeh<\/em><\/p>\n

“thigh” = Oberschenkel<\/em><\/p>\n

“show of respect” = Respektbezeugungen<\/em><\/p>\n

“fondling” = liebkoste<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s all for tonight! If you encounter any ausgelassene Menge<\/em> this week, I hope you will find it aufregend<\/em> and verlockend<\/em>, but that you won’t be too ersch\u00f6pft<\/em> for some Tamtam<\/em>! Bis bald!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
