The First Time I Like A Translation To German Better Than The Original Sentence

The first time i like a translation to German better than the original sentence

Okay. We're in Thor: the Dark World. Thor is talking to his father about brining peace to the nine realms. He flatters his father. Odins answear is the part I am reffering to. In German he says: "Du musst denken ich sei ein Bär, dass du mir so viel Honig ums Maul schmierst." Which translates to: you must think I am a bear that you cover my face in honey. A bear--> strong, a fighter --> also flatters a king I grew up with that saying and i didn't think much about it, because i had only seen the movie in German. But today I watched the movie in English for the first time and I lost my shit at this: "You must think i am a slice of bread that you butter me so heavily" Bread. I know now that it is a similar saying to my german one but still. Now all I can picture is a piece of bread with the allfathers face on it.

Doctor Who + my sister = me crying

So, I was watching Doctor Who with my sister and we reached “The Angels take Manhatten” and I think it broke me a bit. But then my sister had to go and say “Get you a man that loves you as much as Rory loves Amy” and now I can’t stop crying and I’m so glad I haven’t put on my Christmas makeup yet or I’d look like a racoon by now.

I love my sister but she sure knows how to make my heart break.

PS: @elemeny Don’t do something like that when we watch Hell Bent. Please!

I just love how in English you say “great minds think alike”, which is a completely positive thing since you’re kinda praising yourself, but in German you go like “zwei Dumme, ein Gedanke” = “two fools, one thought” 

German is beautiful, isn’t it
