That makes sense
Tiffi continues her Google search. At first glance translation might not seem so difficult; however, it becomes apparent that translation is not always easy especially when the languages are not closely related. We might often hear “this word/phrase does not exist” in one language and there is no direct translation, so a…

Tiffi finds a good article to read
Tiffi is beginning to understand the difficulty with language translations. She explains to Pan-Pan and Lin-Lin that there has to be some solution out there on how these language interpretations can be resolved. The giraffes have wandered off a bit and she sees them eating off the tall tree branches. Guess they must be…

Tiffi might have found a solution
She skims through the article but only 3 more problems with solutions that might be helpful. Problem: Culture - The culture practised by the speakers of each language may also be vastly different; Often, colloquialism is woven into formal language, making the translator’s task very difficult indeed. The larger the region…

Finally Tiffi understands it!
The giraffes have finished eating and have joined Tiffi and the panda bears again. She tells Pan-Pan that the problem might have to do with verbs so the solution is to find another word rather than attempting a literal translation. That makes sense. “You have to dance the water with the beast to survive,” Tiffi says out…

Giraffes belong in the wild, not in enclosures with many hazards that can cause these curious animals to become injured.

Well everything for the wedding is in place and Rachel doesn’t know what to do with her free time. She goes online to see what’s going on in the Candy Kingdom. She comes across an article about the zoo. She has never been to a zoo before so begins to read the article. ‘A number of zoos around the world are reporting that…

Some of the history
Rachel calls Tiffi but gets her voicemail so she leaves her a message. She goes back to reading more about the zoos. ‘Humans placed animals on display long before they strolled through the entrance gates of zoological parks. In fact, the birth of the menagerie (a collection of wild animals for the purpose of exhibition)…

A bit more of the history
Rachel goes back to reading the article. ‘Throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, iguanas, bison, guinea pigs, llamas, turkeys, Muscovy ducks, squirrels, and many species of birds flooded Europe. And these animals came to European menageries from all directions. In 1515, Sultan Muzaffar Shah of Malacca sent the…

The Enclosure
‘Of course, zoological parks sought to control animals’ independent action and freedom. Throughout the history of animal display, individual animals—whether monkeys, panthers, ostriches, or bison—were showcased in cages, like items of a museum display, polished and arranged neatly for the human viewer. These cages were…
