burra, thanks for the reminder. As Barley used to say, "one thing drives out another..."

the next one is easy (I s'ppose)

I probably shouldn't answer this since I'm not bilingual and won't be able to come up with a question of my own, but I do know the answer to it and its been up for more than year...

It's been over a year since I finished French II barely with a B-, so you'll have to bear with me.

For you Canadians and French out there... sorry if I butchered it too badly.

Quote:
Were the breath of the West Wind to take a body visible, even so would it appear
That's Eomer, in astonishement upon sighting of Shadowfax

Reminder of the rules, BTW:

This quote game implies that participants translate some quotes into some foreign languages, and than tranlslate it back to English. The actual quote-question is thus in English, just rendered unrecognizable by double (it may be triple, or quadruple or more) cross-translations.

To give you an example:

English: Were the breath of the West Wind to take a body visible, even so would it apper

Russian: Esli bi dikhanie Zapadnogo Vetra imelo bi vidimoe telo, ono bi vigladelo tak

French: Si la respiration du Vent d'ouest aurait le corps visible, il aurait l'air ainsi

English (actual quote to be guessed out): If the breathing of the west Wind would have the visible body, it would seem thus

Not very unrecognizable, but different, see? The actual foreign quotes belong in Quotes in Other Languages thread

cheers
