Synopsis
Excerpt from Cantonese Made Easy: A Book of Simple Sentences in the Cantonese Language, With Free and Literal Translations, and Directions for the Rendering of English Grammatical Forms in Chinese
Exception has been taken by one or two to the use of the literal translation of the Chinese into English on account of its barbarous nature, but its manifest advantages to the beginner are so obvious, not only theoretically but in actual practice in the use of this book, that the Author's predilections in its favour are con firmed. As to its being barbarous, what does barbarous mean? Simply that any thing is outside of our pale of civilization and customary mode of expression, &c. A literal translation of any language into English proves more or less barbarous: this is even true with regard to the classic languages of ancient Greece and Rome.
