I ' m so glad other people hate that song too ! It ' s catchy , sure , but if one more drink is gonna make you cheat on your SO , then you may have a drinking problem , and you for sure have an issue with not being a cheating asshole . <| sep |> It was mainly in the introduction to a new translation of Zola , whose very gritty work , set in the underbelly of Paris , would have suffered in impact if written in literal translation , because there was a disconnect between a 19 th century reader and a 21 st century reader . And new translations are actually done quite frequently probably for that very reason . The translations you get from Amazon for free or very cheap are usually older , outofcopyright ones rather than the latest ones where language has shifted . I find it harder to enjoy a Victorian translation of Zola than I do a modern one . I think in a genre like fantasy , though , accessibility and fluency is key . Fumbling with excessively stilted writing would kill a lot of good books out there . Trying to be oldfashioned gets in the way of story and often ends up clumsy and lacking in punch , as well as imcorporating misconceptions such as lack of contraction usage .
