>>Thanks, this was exactly what I expected when I said "Literally". It accidentally does translate into Serbian word for word, even though the languages have very little in common. English seems to be less pithy. How about a more web-like translation: "Powered by two hundred..."?

>Yeah, that would probably be it: "Powered by two hundred horse and one jacka**". Humor with double entendre is difficult to translate, isn't it?

Fighting with that for thirty years. Actually only about 30% of the jokes are transferrable, even if 80% are translatable. It's just that different cultures laugh at different things. Sometimes it works, sometimes it takes hard brainwork to transfer, and sometimes you just get disappointed when the point doesn't get through.

BTW, I've heard that the movie version of "Tomb Raider" was cut down by some 20 minutes, mostly leaving out the sequences loaded with British humour, because the distributors decided they wouldn't work here. They'll be on DVD, though.
