Engelsk oversættelse
Hej allesammen! jeg sidder med en engelsk oversættelse, som jeg er lidt usikker på. Det ville virkelige være lækkert, hvis der var nogen der ville hjælpe mig med at kigge min oversættelse igennem for fejl.
Dansk udgave:
I en netop udkommet bog hævder den tidligere britiske ambassadør i Danmark, Sir James Mellon, at danskerne ikke betragter sig som en nation i egentlig forstand, det vil sige "en befolkning i et land med egen regering", men snarere som en stamme.
Forfatteren illustrerer sin teori med bl.a. følgende eksempel: "Til trods for at to af mine børn er født i Danmark, kan de ikke få dansk indfødsret, idet de ikke taler dansk og ikke har danske forældre. En person, som er født i England, bliver automatisk britisk statsborger, uanset om han kan tale engelsk eller ej, og uanset hvor mange år han har opholdt sig i landet."
Det lykkes næsten aldrig for udlændinge at blive helt accepteret som medlemmer af den danske stamme. En dansker skal helst se 'dansk' ud, beherske det danske sprog og have opholdt sig i landet i mange år for at blive betragtet som ægte dansker, hævder Sir James.

!Steven Spielbergs Jurassic Park er 90'ernes hidtil mest omtalte film. Ikke alene har den indtjent mange penge, langt flere end nogen anden film siden Spielbergs egen E.T. blev udsendt for over 10 år siden, den repræsenterer også fantastiske fremskridt, hvad angår "special effects" og brugen af computerteknik1. Den gigantiske og utrolig livagtige dinosaur2 T.Rex er nok det mest teknisk avancerede, det nogensinde er lykkedes en filminstruktør at få fremstillet til en film.
Historien om en videnskabsmand, der åbner en park fyldt med forhistoriske dinosaurer, er frygtelig spændende, og man kan ikke undgå at bliver opslugt af den. Samtidig sætter den fokus på de mange etiske spørgsmål, genteknologien3 rejser.
Om en 15 års tid kunne en Jurassic Park måske blive en realitet, og på trods af at vi ikke aner, hvad der sker, når vi manipulerer med naturen, vil der altid være videnskabsmænd, der er villige til at udføre et sådant projekt.
Min oversættelse:
The former ambassador in Denmark, Sir James Mellon, claimed, in a recently published book that the Danish people don’t consider them self as a nation in the strict sense, which means “A population in a country with it’s own Government”, but more like a tribe.
The author illustrates his theory including the following example: “Despite that two of kids are born i Denmark they can’t get Danish citizenship because they can’t speak Danish and their parents aren’t Danish. A person who is born in England automatically becomes an English citizen, in spite of the fact that he can speak English or not, and regardless of how many years he has lived in the country.
A foreigner almost never succeeds in being accepted as a part of the Danish tribe. A Dane should preferably look “Danish”, master the Danish language and should have lived many years in the country before he can be considered as a true Dane, Sir James claims.

Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park is so far the most spoken film of the nineties. Not alone has it earned much money, a lot more than any other film since Spielberg’s own E.T. was released more than ten years ago it also represents fantastic improvements as regards “special effects” and the use of computer technology. The gigantic and incredible lifelike dinosaur T. Rex is probably the most technical advanced it has ever succeeded a film director to produce as a movie.
The story about a scientist who opens a park filled with prehistorically dinosaurs is terribly exciting and you can’t avoid being absorbed in it. At the same time it focuses on the many ethic questions the genetic engineering raises.
In about 15 years a Jurassic Park could possibly become a reality and in spite of the fact that we don’t have a clue about what will happen when we manipulate the nature there will always be scientists who are ready to make such a project.

The author illustrates his theory including the following example: “Despite that two of my kids are born in Denmark they can’t get Danish citizenship because they can’t speak Danish and their parents aren’t Danish. A person who is born in England automatically becomes an English British citizen, in spite of the fact that he can speak English or not (regardless of his ability to speak the native language), and regardless of how many years he has lived (resided) in the country.
Foreigners almost never succeed in being (becoming) accepted as a part of the Danish tribe. A Dane should preferably look “Danish”, master the Danish language and should have lived (resided for) many years in the country before he can be considered as a true Dane, Sir James claims.

Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park is the most publicized movie of the nineties (90's) so far. Not alone has it earned much money (brought in a lot of money), far more than any other movie since Spielberg’s own E.T. was released more than ten years ago it also represents fantastic improvements as regards “special effects” and the use of computer technology. The gigantic and incredible lifelike dinosaur T. Rex is probably the most technically advanced a film director ever succeeded to produce for a movie.
The story about a scientist who opens a park filled with prehistorically dinosaurs is terribly exciting and you can’t avoid being absorbed (engulfed) by it. At the same time it focuses on the many ethic questions raised by genetic engineering raises.
In about 15 years (time) a Jurassic Park could possibly (perhaps) become a reality and in spite of the fact that we don’t have a clue about what will happen when we manipulate the nature there will always be scientists who are ready to make conduct such a project (an experiment).
