the female translator | Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

There’s no such thing as a free lunch!
Someone has to pay a price

I am always the one paying
Did I not just pay for your bruised pride

Tự ái?
What a loot!
My foot!

I’m on my knees
Between your legs
Trying to soothe your huge stiff ego
Begging
Please forgive me
What a hoot!

Congratulations sir,
Your top
Just popped

Here’s your medal
Go home, and show it to your wife!

There's magic in translating a body of work from one language to another.
