Sometimes, I felt that art is like a string of losting original intentions. Today, I see one report said that because of the less of the translating person, publishers will find a novel which had been translated into French, German or English.
Why I think art as a string of losting original intentions is that every person has his/her unique view on a work. The unique view is related to many things, but the mostly is that every one has one and only soul. The losting original intentions is also like kind of misunderstanding. Just imagine yourself, have you ever hurt people by saying some words but you are not meant to say that or your mind doesn't think that. That's the point! You lost yor oringinal intentions by the listener or by saying the words.
