Meme of Babel: Much of a Hard Walk

[alixtii]

The meme that's been going around, where you put your fic through Babelfish and see what comes out. Makes me glad I don't use Babelfish for my fic translations (mostly spells); I can pretend the online translator that I do use is miraculously better, although I'm sure it isn't.

My first passage is from my Watcher's Burden, a speech by Lydia towards the end of the fic:

English:

Rupert loves the girls with the heart of a father, and it can blind him. Whereas Roger has no heart, could not even bring himself to love his actual son, he’s so blinded by his lust for power. It’s our job, perhaps, to see through these things. Quentin once told me that the purpose of the Cruciamentum was to teach the Slayer that we are not her friends, not her parents. It’s a cold truth, but history has borne him out. When it really mattered, the Council was not there for your sister. If Travers had not done what he did when he did, would your sister have been prepared to soldier on without us? He prepared for his own death, and it may have saved the world.

English to German to English:

Rupert loves the girls with the heart of a father, and it can make him blind. While Roger does not have a heart, not even to get itself, in order to love its actual son, could, he is thus blindly made by its sense desire for energy. Our job is possibly to be seen by these things. Quentin explained the Slayer to me that once the purpose of the Cruciamentum was, that we not their friends to inform are not their parents. It is cold truth, but history bore it out. When it really constituted, the advice was not there for your sister. If Travers had not done, what he did, when he did, your sister to the soldier without us would have been on prepared? He prepared for his own death, and he can have stored the world.

English to Greek to French to English:

Rupert loves the girls with the heart of a father, and it can that him it tyflw' sej. By appreciating that Roger does not have any heart, it could not be presented even so that it loves his real son, ty' flwse thus of its violent desire of the force. It is our work, perhaps, which it sees via the these things. The Quentin told me once that the objective of Cruciamentum was to be taught with the murderer who we are not his/her friends, not his parents. He is a cold truth, but the history he supported it outside. When it really disturbed, the Council it was not there for your sister. If Through had not made that made when, your sister was prepared with the soldier above without? He was prepared with his death, and he can have saved the world.

And Ethan's letter to Dawn at the end of Divine Interventions:

English:

Miss Summers:

Beth and I are wanted fugitives, so now that the world is saved it didn’t quite make sense for us to wait around for Council representatives to arrive and take us into custody. We thank you for our freedom.

Chaos can be a hard path, as much as it seems—and often is the fact—that I treat it as mostly fun and games. I know that I will not be able to entreat you to indulge yourself again: the sin of temperance is one of the many curses of the Watcher. Nor would I want to stay, not really; you remind me of Rupert in far too many ways.

Chaos can be either fought against or embraced; the more chaotic option by far is it to fight it.

E.R.

English to German to English:

Ms Summers: Beth and I are desired refugees, thus, now the world is stored there, were not quite meaningful them, so that we wait around for advice representatives, in order to arrive to take and us in protection. We thank you for our liberty. Chaos can be a hard way, as much as it scheinen-und is frequent, Tatsache-dass I it as mostly fun and plays treats. I white that I am not in that, to ask you for itself again in addition-give: the sin of temperance is one of the many curses of the observer. Still I would not want to remain real,; you remind me of Rupert in far to many ways. Chaos can be either fought.against or covered; the more chaotic choice is by far it to fight to it. E.R.

English to Greek to French to English:

Miss Summers: Beth and I am desirable refugees, thus now who is saved the world did not have enough smell for us so that it awaits they around representatives of the Council which it arrives and which it takes to us with the monitoring. We thank you for our freedom. Chaos can be much of a hard walk, so much like this one appear-and it is often fact-that I treat it as usually entertainment and plays. I know that I will not be in measurement with entreat you only epjtrefcw' still: the sin of moderation is one of many wounds of the observer. I would not like to remain, not really you recall to with Rupert far too many manners. Chaos it can either that they fight against or to be étreint the most chaotic choice is of much this one so that it fights. E.R.

Desired refugees indeed! Always running from rabid fangirls and the "advice representatives"!
