Translation and Re-Translation of Studio Voice article.

I've ran it through a translation service, if anyone cares. XD It's quite choppy, but as fans we can probably figure out what they are talking about in this article. It's basically giving a brief detail of Jim's life, his work with the Muppets, "Star Wars", the creation of Kermit, and other things. Although they have a picture of Fraggle Rock, I can't really decipher (even from the translation) that they even talk about it. Either way, here's the translation.

Legend of second special edition gym ヘンソン When 1990 May, the alone man of 54 years old dies at the New York hospital, several 1000000 thing people attend mourning system, the Hollywood muscle, as for 弔 electricity from the entertainment boundary like the 怒 涛 say that it surged.

Now when it passes after the death 15 year, it was deep-rooted on the American culture deeply, we would like to detect the depth of "another genealogy".

I've also done a crappy re-translation of the translation. XD Sorry if this takes up too much space. XD

The second special edition of "Legend of Jim Henson". In May 1990, Jim at age 54, dies alone at the New York Hospital, 1,000,000 people attend his funeral, the Hollywood muscle, and the electricity from other entertainment says it surged. The people felt at his age, he went away securely. As for that name, Jim Henson. Starting from puppet production at the small local TV station in Washington, it is Kermit the Frog, which the puppet of the frog was in starting point, produces so much character, it has great delight with the imagination. He contribtued to "Star Wars" and many other technical aspects successfully, along with "The Dark Crystal" and "Labyrinth", and Hollywood seems with Henson's movies of high standards, it kept repainting a beautiful picture. Like Henson, every sanctuary it comes and does not hand over the theme park, like the psychedelic music, it fashion it does not convert. In addition, "Fraggle Rock", it was revered not as legend of a subculture, but with a happy age, and a peace which is not normally seen in television, it was Jim's idea for the American, and in turning the Fraggles came in the healing age of hardships. Now when his death, some 15 years ago passes, it is deeply-rooted in the American Culture, we would like to see the depth of another genealogy.

*The Legend of Jim Henson
*When Jim lived, the TV culture dawned.
*How Jim's work correlated to itself.
*Birth of Jim Henson? Until the technology of "MirrorMask", which projects the human support system, not unlike "Star Wars"
* The origins of Kermit.
*Walking "The Longest Street in the World", Sesame Street.
*Present in the Jim Henson Company, "The Genealogy of The Dark Crystal" and "Fraggle Rock"
*Reviews? The image work of Jim Henson.
*The new work "MirrorMask" 2 people made it.

Thanks if you read my long-winded re-translation! I hope this shed some light on the article. I tried to re-write it as close as the translation got it to. A couple of parts I had no idea what it spoke of, so when it had that untranslatable kanji, and they spoke of peace during times of hardships, I figured out, it has to be Fraggle Rock. Because out of all Jim's creations/series, I believe that might (and probably is) the only one that fits the description. That..and in the article originally there was a picture of Fraggle Rock. XD

Thanks for that second translation, Renee! That first one was too cryptic!

 

[ReneeLouvier]

I just figured you guys would probably want to see the original translation, because you guys might be able to pull a different meaning from it then I was able to. I had to re-read the lines a few times, and really think about it hard before I typed some of them out. So thank you, Vic!

 

[muppetperson]

Thanks for your work on the translation.Sounds like the first one was done by Yoda!!!!

 

[ReneeLouvier]

I still think it's too cryptic. >_< I'm having trouble reading even the second part of what I typed. But I hope it's good enough for you guys. XD
