Smith's Vegetarian Translation

There are indeed quite a few errors, which is not surprising for a relatively new learner of the language. The deeper issue is her stylistic alteration of the text. Even if smith had corrected all the obvious errors, it still wouldn't have changed that she poeticized the novel. Another translator could have produced a more accurate version,. But i find it extremely doubtful that anyone could have matched the virtuosity of smith's work as a first time effort.
