English forum on Fantlab.ru > How often do you read books in English > к сообщению

Отправлено 13 января 2020 г. 21:38 I always prefer reading books in English if they were originally written in languages other than Russian. Actually, lately I almost never read fiction created by Russian writers. So English makes about 99.9% of my reading time. The same applies to watching movies. Sometimes I switch audio tracks to compare translated parts with original version. Quite often the translation is poor, especially when gags or jokes are not translated at all, but are rather replaced with a meaningless or empty talk.
