Hr. Mim - manden i midten

Jeg har fået denne lille "dansk til engelsk" -oversættelse for, som jeg har lavet, og som jeg håber I vil rette for mig, hvis der skulle være nogle fejl, eller udtryk I synes passer bedre ind.

Hr. Mim - manden i midten
Hr. Mims sociale status er baseret på penge. Det er, hvad amerikanske sociologers undersøgelser viser. Uddannelsens indflydelse på amerikanernes mening er racens betydning heller ikke så væsentlig. Grunden er nok, at hr. Mim tror, at han ved penges hjælp kan købe livets mening. Det er bl.a. et godt hus i et godt kvarter. Hr. og fru Mims drømmehus har alle et moderne hjems bekvemmeligheder. På ægteparrets liste over statussymboler er f.eks en kæmpehave. Familiens ønske er, at andre menneskers blikke ikke må forstyrre privatlivets fred.
Men hvor lykkelige vil hr. og fru Mim blive? De vil måske for sent opdage, at de er blevet statussymbolernes slaver. For at kunne købe alle disse ting må de arbejde hårdere, og husets og havens pasning vil tage deres egen og børnenes fritid.
Min oversættelse:
Mr. Mim – The man in the middle
Mr. Mim’s social status is based on money. That is what American sociologists’ investigations shows. The influence of the education on the Americans’ status quotient is not quite big as the money, and according to opinion of the Americans, the meaning of the race is not such essential. The reason may probably be that Mr. Mim thinks he with the help of the money can buy the meaning of life. Including other things it is a great house in a great neighbourhood. Mr. and Mrs. Mims’ dream-houses all has the convenience of a modern house. In the married couple’s list of status symbols there is for example a giant garden. The family’s wish is that other people’s sight won’t disturb the private life’s sanctity.
But how happy will Mr. and Mrs. Mim become? They will maybe too late realize that they have become slaves of the status symbols. To buy all these small things they have to work harder, and the maintenance of the house and garden will take their own and the children’s past time.

tage et kig..
Mr. Mim's social status is based on money. This is what sociologists American investigations shows. The influence of education on the Americans' status quotient is not large enough that the money, and in the opinion of Americans, the meaning of the race is not likely essential. The reason is perhaps likely that Mr. Mim think that with the help of money can buy the meaning of life. Including other things it is a big house in a great neighborhood. Mr. and Mrs. Mims' dream Houseboats has all the comforts of a modern house. In the couple's list of status symbols, it is, for example, a huge garden. The family is the hope that others in the order will not disturb the privacy of holiness.
But how will gladly M. Mim and Mrs become? They will perhaps realize too late that they have become slaves of the state symbols. To buy all those little things they have to work harder, and maintenance of the house and garden will take their own children and the time spent.
