These life lessons will be taught to you through an exquisite story including recognizable music and phenomenal acting. I highly suggest you plan to sit down, relax with a bucket of popcorn and let the von Trapp family…

young engineers. They’d set up the experimental unit about five doors down from where Paul now stood, with coin machines and endless belts to do the serving, with germicidal lamps cleaning the air, with uniform, healthful light, with continuous soft music from a tape recorder, with seats scientifically designed by an anthropologist to give the average man the absolute maximum in comfort.…

In the Table 2.5, it would seem that it is translated precisely, yet there are some words changed, thus the idea becomes different than it should be. Using an idiom with the similar meaning but different form should sound very natural in the target language. In Sweeney Todd, the translators managed to achieve a different rendition of the musical piece by using Lithuanian idioms and sayings. In the first example of the table, Lithuanian common saying feels more natural than it would be rendered…

The astounding musical play consisted of a variety of songs that all were sung beautifully by the cast, different dance numbers, and an impressive lively ending which fired up the audience.

In movies, music serves as an emotional cue for the audience. A scene can change dramatically with the music and can often create emotion in people. However, in books, there is no music and an author must use different methods to set the tone and evoke emotion in the reader. Through description and carefully selected words that is precisely what is done. Even though two words might have the same denotation, different connotations envoke various feelings in the reader. Different connotations also…
