HOGYAN ALKALMAZZÁK A HALLGATÓK A GÉPI FORDÍTÁST? Forrásnyelvi szöveg (1443n) Replace rules with tools and strategies Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posted one of the most popular Instagram images of 2020, a photo from his secret wedding in Hawaii. He wrote: “Our Hawaiian wedding was beautiful and I want to thank our incredible staff for their outstanding work. To carry out my #1 goal of complete privacy, no wedding planners or outside resources were hired. Everything you see was created by hand, by staff and family only. The end results were spectacular and Lauren and I will forever be grateful for helping our hearts sing on this day.” Johnson’s text is sweet and gracious. I was one of the fifteen million people who “liked” it. I think it’s perfect, but grammarians would find plenty wrong with it. I ran Johnson’s text through grammar software and found that it violated several of those pesky rules. For instance: « A comma should be added after the word beautiful because the next word, and, is a coordinating conjunction in a compound sentence. e The sentence that starts with the subordinate phrase to carry about my #1 goal of complete privacy contains a dangling modifier and should be rewritten. « The phrase no wedding planners or outside resources were hired should be rewritten in the active voice. + The word end in the phrase the end results is redundant and should be eliminated. + Ihere should bea comma after spectacular because, once again, it separates a coordinating conjunction and in a compound sentence. .83 +
