Translation: The reader will probably take the currently proposed brochure in the hands with distrust, with a previously prepared thought, that to him will be proposed some kind of unattainable utopia.

(Or, less literally): The reader will probably have the suspicious preconception that this brochure will propose some sort of naive vision of utopia.

Translation: I must, for this reason, before all else, ask the reader that he put away this kind of prejudice and that he think seriously and critically about the proposed thing.

(Or, less literally): Therefore, I first ask that the reader to put aside that preconception and consider this proposal seriously and critically.

Sed kelke da felicxaj ideoj, kiuj aperis kiel frukto de tiu cxi nevola meditado, kuragxigis min por plua laborado kaj igis min ekprovi, cxu ne prosperos al mi sisteme venki cxiujn barojn por la kreo kaj enkonduko en uzadon de racia lingvo internacia.",

Translation: The question about an international language has occupied me for a long time already; but feeling myself neither more talented, nor more energetic, than the authors of all fruitlessly perished attempts, I for a long time limited myself only to dreaming and involuntary meditation above this afiar. But a few happy ideas, which appeared like fruits of this involuntary meditation, encouraged me for more working and caused me to begin trying, would it not prosper to me to systematically vanquish all barriers for the introduction into use a rational international language.

(Or, less literally): The question of an international language had occupied me for a long time; but as I felt that I was neither more talented nor more energetic than those whose previous attempts all perished fruitlessly, I limited myself for quite some time to merely daydreaming about this concept. But a few happy ideas which came from this idle daydreaming encouraged me to begin work on a serious attempt, thinking that it would surely be fruitful to systematically dismantle the barriers to the introduction into wide use a truly rational and international language.

Translation: The First Book was at the same time an introduction to the origin and ideals of the language and a description of its simple grammar (with examples of prose and poems and an additional dictionary of frequent words).

Translation: Typing (also machine-writing) is writing text by keyboard, by machine. A more correct manner of typing consists in that one does not look at the keyboard, but only at the paper (in the case of a machine) or at the screen (in the case of a computer). There are methods for learning this system, either by direct instruction of an instructor, or by bookmethod, or by internet course or computer program.

(Or, less literally): Typing (also called machine-writing) is writing text using a keyboard. The correct way to type is by not looking at the keyboard, and instead only looking at the paper (if using a typewriter) or the screen (if using a computer). There are several ways to learn typing; it can be taught by an instructor, or it can be self taught using either books or online courses, and with specialised software.

Translation: Young Richard almost mourned this terrible statement. He looked around. In the dormitory, he was alone. Evidently, not only his mono disappeared, but so had Janny1.

(Or, less literally): Young Richard almost cried upon hearing this. He looked around. He was alone in the dormitory. Not only had his money vanished, so, apparently, had Janny1.

Footnotes

  1. Nickname, short for Jan-something, is in the masculine form, but not clear what this is short for exactly. The full text isn't much help here either. ↩ ↩2

Translation: Normaly I would have needed to run away with your money and ticket without saying to you anything else. But that would not help my friendly feelings, and I want to write goodbye to you. I feel the need to instruct you about the life. If at the age of 21 years you still do not understand the risks, of1 all those to whom you reveal yourself, someone must teach you. We randomly met again only three days ago. You knew nothing about me. However, your whole life you told to me and... showed to me all your money.

Translation: And now he feels himself tending to care about Linda. Is this beautiful girl not found in danger? He loves her, he even adores her, more and more, and the idea that dangerous humans could do anything to her, hardly is survivable.

(Or, less literally): And he finds himself caring for Linda. Isn't this beautiful girl in danger? He loves her, he even Loves1 her, and more and more even the thought that dangerous people could do anything to her is becoming unbearable.

Footnotes

  1. English notoriously has few word for love, cf Greek for example, Esperanto uses affixes and here the word is literally love + huge. The nearest I can approximate in English would be love vs Love. ↩

Translation: In the village of Nomen Tuum, an ancient deer-fountain1 is supposed to posses curing-powers. In certain cases people were healed, but more often they gained a certain beauty.

(Or, less literally): In the village of Nomen Tuum, an ancient well2 is supposed to have healing powers. Sometimes people would be healed or more frequently be made more beautiful.

Footnotes

  1. Literally cerv' + fontan', both words are present in L' Fundamento, and in PIV, but as a compound this is entirely non-standard. ↩

  2. The film (Incubus/Inkubo) has notoriously poorly Esperanto. I found it on YouTube, and while its nearly impossible to make out the dialogue, it shows a well, not a fountain. I have no idea what deer have to do with it. ↩
