English as She is Wrote (Special Edition)

Shawn Jones

This claasic audiobook breaks down the humour that appears to be a result of dictionary-aided literal translation, which causes many idiomatic expressions to be translated wildly inappropriately. For example, the Portuguese phrase chover a cântaros is translated as raining in jars, whereas an idiomatic English translation would be raining buckets. Author - Shawn Jones. Narrator - Logan Jones. Published Date - Thursday, 19 January 2023.
