Read the passage from "How Books Can Open Your Mind." So if you know a foreign language, it's also fun to read your favorite books in two languages.
[The Way of Chuang Tzu by Thomas Merton; Tao: The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts]
Instead of lost in translation, I found there is much to gain. For example, it's through
translation that I realized "happiness" in Chinese literally means "fast joy." Huh! "Bride" in
Chinese literally means "new mother." Uh-oh. (Laughter)
Which best states the central idea of this passage?
